In this study, the emissions to air produced using massive wood material in manufacturing of a Massiv–Holz–Mauer (MHM) wall system have been assessed. The results have been compared with a traditional brick wall.Using wood material in building design can reduce the environmental impact to air up to 59 % compared to using traditional material such as brick.

Wood can meet the same structural properties and a variety of multi-storey buildings have recently been built all over the world using this key material. In this article, main motivations and barriers to wood adoption for structural uses have been highlighted, based on a case study and an analysis of construction projects using wood

The fire course and the burning mechanisms of wood are briefly discussed, as is the fire resistance of wood structures from different perspectives.

This paper demonstrates the advantages of using wood materials for the design of sustainable buildings in New Zealand, providing national benefits of reducing fossil fuel energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

There is a growing list of tall wood buildings that have been constructed in different continents over the last decade. Considerable urgency for using sustainable resources to tackle the threat of climate change has resulted in a surge in demand as well as applications in recent decades. This paper reviews the significant technical advances that have contributed to those achievements and are expected to facilitate further developments.

This paper aims to analyse the structural, thermal, acoustical and environmental properties of wooden materials for building applications; other properties such as fire resistance and durability

This article analyzes the carbon cost of the most common in use materials in the building sector and constructions.

This article is about the importance of recycling the materials of demolished buildings and the possibilities of reusing them in the trying to reduce the co2 emissions.

This Guide provides an introduction and overview of a research project that developed designs for four building types with timber solutions, as well as alternative designs with conventional steel portal or concrete construction.

This guide offers an overview of the key issues for assessment of moisture exposure and possible rectification. It has been written to help the building industry and owners to understand the key issues when assessing moisture-affected timber construction. It also provides some guidance on how to address these considerations.

This design guide provides a series of span tables designed according to the limit state design theory and for wind speeds up to N3 for detached single and two-storey houses. These span tables introduce new options for beams incorporated into walls, portal frames and other typical long span applications.

This guide covers two timber floor solutions – cassette type floors (using LVL or glulam web and LVL or CLT flanges) and panel-type floors (using CLT or combination of CLT with LVL or glulam secondary members) – that have the potential to be used for at least 9 x 9 metre mid-rise commercial building.

This guide is designed to assist practicing structural engineers and other building design professionals to confidently develop conceptual structural designs for timber-rich buildings and structures.

Design and construction of tie-down and bracing systems for houses that use timber trusses or timber-framed roofs

The building design and construction communities are increasingly aware of the need to consider thermal performance and environmental impact in the design and construction of buildings. This has increased demand for high-performance windows and doors that limit energy use in service and reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with material production, fabrication and building construction

This publication provides a reference guide for the installation of solid timber strip flooring over bearers and joists, timber-based sheet flooring products and concrete slabs.

A guide about the construction joint, which is
required to be fire-resisting with respect to integrity and insulation.

This Guide gives a simple step-by-step overview of housing design for greater thermal comfort.

Uses of timner in internal design for houses

This guide discusses one of the Massive Timbers that is often used called Cross-laminated Timber
(CLT). The guide’s intention is to introduce CLT, providing general product and performance
information, design consideration and building processes.

Fire Safe Use of Wood in Buildings is ideal for all involved in the fire safety of buildings, including architects, engineers, firefighters, educators, regulatory authorities, insurance companies and professionals in the building industry.

This Guide provides a summary of fire safety design process for a number of EXPAN-developed systems, including timber concrete composite (TCC) floors, timber cassette floors and post-tensioned timber beams without any fire-rated lining or additional protection. Design for structural stability in fire conditions is covered, as well as worked examples of the fire safety design procedures for each system.

Concept design for emergency shelters. These prefabricated modules come with power generation solutions, quick assembly mechanisms and customizable expansions.

This paper discusses how prefabricated modular structures can provide a more time-efficient solution by analysing several present-day examples taken from published postdisaster housing reconstruction processes that have been carried out in different parts of the world

This study identified the urban post-disaster housing prototypes that may provide
higher density housing with high quality living spaces, high air quality, and energy efficiency as well as rapid deployment.

This study is devoted to the possibility of using advanced insulation materials, such as Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIP), in the insulation and reconstruction of buildings, in connection with the green elements that are installed on the facade in the case of the use of external thermal insulation composite systems.
