Construction with CLT in multi storey buildings
This document summarises the results of research projects and practical building experiences from the use of cross-laminated timber up to building class 4 from the view of building physics.
The ABCs of Tall Mass Timber
After decades of research the tall / multi-storey buildings are safely constructed with massive timber structures and they compete directly with high-rise concrete and steel.
Transforming Trees into Skyscrapers
How engineered timber materials can create sustainable construction with a number of advantages compared to typical construction materials
Modular Builder MODSCAPE announces revolutionary robotic manufacturing line
New Wooden Office Building by Waugh Thistleton Is Absolutely 'LVLy'
A case study where LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) and CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) work together in modern building proving the flexibility of the design having smaller cross-sections for beams & columns.

Wood replaces steel as Japan builders fight climate change
A case study that proves that the wooden structural elements can resist fire and fight climate change.
Thermal Performance Assessment of Flexible Modular Housing Units for Energy Independence Following Disasters.
An investigation was conducted into temporary modular housing for use in disaster areas to assess the feasibility of energy independence. Flexible modular units have been proposed as a temporary housing solution in disaster areas, as they can be deployed in combination with energy units across a wide range of environments
Sustainable Construction for Urban Infill Development Using Engineered Massive Wood Panel Systems
