This is the main output of the Sustainable Modular Houses for People in Need, Project Number: 2021-1-EL01-KA220-VET-000025502. The “research–knowledge hub” (RKH) is an electronic library developed and created for containing detailed items of applied research in the field of timber construction design principles, circular economy, sustainable development and material availability in different regions of Europe.

RKH is an innovative tool for bibliographic search, an electronic library in all languages of the partners in which the project partners have uploaded complete methods of construction (assembly and disassembly), studies, reports, practical guides and case studies which are expected to assist on finding all the necessary resources under one umbrella. The purpose of the RKH is to be a valuable tool in the hands of both researchers but mostly for the professionals who are actually involved in the whole phase of delivering a modular unit for people in need (from design to construction).

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

Fire Resistance of 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
