This document is a response to organisations' and practitioners' need for guidance in complicated local and global contexts, as well as providing the timber industry with some understanding of the kind of issues the humanitarian community is dealing with.

Explanatory brochure in which FINSA presents different solutions for facades

Prefab Architecture ...is about pods, containers, mods, and joints. Prefab Architecture is a guide to off-site construction, presenting the opportunities and challenges associated with designing and building with components, panels, and modules. It presents the drawbacks of building in situ (on-site) and demonstrates why prefabrication is the smarter choice for better integration of products and processes, more efficient delivery, and realizing more value in project life cycles.

High efficiency timber windows

Timber Construction Workshop (Third Talk)

The objective of the guide is to propose constructive solutions with wood that meet the requirements established by the Technical Building Code and to provide all the information that the designer needs to know about the different construction elements made with wood materials or products derived from it.

Wood-based construction systems applied to single-family homes

Guide of FINSA's products divided into: heavy frames, light frames, CLT, and sections related to sustainability and Passivhaus certification

The Lighthouse Joensuu 14-storey residential building constructed with Stora Enso’s wood products uses European Commission’s Level(s) reporting framework to demonstrate carbon emission reductions during construction and carbon storage throughout its lifespan.

A very detailed guide for the CLT product

This video presenting the main philosophy behind the modular construction and the case study of the Imod Structures company which dealing that kind of projects

A guide about the wooden constructions regarding the structural design, manufacturing and logistics, building site management
, research and development, certifications and some great examples of case studies

This chapter presents an overview of the occupancy groups in buildings and the types of timber structures that can be used to design and construct these buildings. Obviously, the types of construction presented in this chapter may have different names in different countries, but the fundamentals and design principles remain essentially the same.

A guide on CLT, structural applications, building physics, structural analysis and project management for this engineered material

A repair and strengthening programme is presented to make the repairs to the failed member and upgrade the remainder of a glued laminated beam in a school.

This paper introduces briefly the product cross laminated timber (CLT) and outlines the development and basics of this European engineered timber product, innovated to be used as large-sized stand-alone structural element for load-bearing purposes.

Terms and definitions,methods of measurement and requirements for grading of saw timber according to EN 1611

This technical guide about Glued Laminated Timber (GLULAM), addresses important design considerations, and includes a guide of recommended specifications. It also highlights just a few of the many applications where glulam is used in today’s construction.

Potential approaches for fire retarding timber are reviewed, identifying two main approaches: char formation and isolating layers.

Fire safety is an important concern in all types of construction. The high level of national concern for fire safety is reflected in limitations and design requirements in building codes. These code requirements and related fire performance data are discussed in the context of fire safety design and evaluation in the initial section of this chapter.

The fire resistance design of CLT building elements is not included in Eurocode 5, the structural Eurocode for timber, but can be either tested according to European standards or calculated by using design methods being developed recently. This article provides information about both reaction to fire and fire resistance of CLT in Europe.

General -Common rules and rules for buildings, based on the Eurocode 5, which is referred to stuctures using wood

This Chapter presents examples of CLT buildings and how these result into an energy efficient approach regarding the materials and the energy input

Knowledge of wood aging and the property changes of aged wood compared with recent wood are crucial for conservation of wooden cultural heritage objects and historic buildings constructed of wood and also for the reuse of old construction wood.

This paper is an overview of what we know about occurrence of wood decay above ground within buildings. It presents information concerning under what conditions decay may become established.

The article presents the positive and negative properties of wood, the technology of wood preservation and antiseptic treatment, and also deals with the fire retardant composition "Pyrol".

Four functionally equivalent buildings with different material structure, building technology and energy standards have been subjected to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) environmental impact analysis. The study has taken into account a full life cycle of the buildings, including the following stages: production of building materials, prefabrication, transport to the building site, building, use, demolition, transport of waste and final disposal of waste.

In this article an attempt to increase our understanding of "Green Buildings" and the potential for using wood to enhance this concept from the market point of view is being undertaken, with emphasis on experts in the UK construction sector, using qualitative analysis of interview data.

In this article, it is discussed the state of the art of environmental sustainability in wood science and technology. An overview of established and upcoming approaches for the sustainable production of woodbased materials is mentioned. This comprises wood protection and adhesion for the building sector, as well as the production of sustainable wood-based functional materials.
