Massive wood material for sustainable building design. The Massiv–Holz–Mauer wall system
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.
Main Motivations and Barriers for Using Wood as a Strudtural Building Material
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.
Energy and CO2 Advantages of Wood for Sustainable Buildings
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.
Developments in Tall Wood and Hybrid Buildings and Environmental Impacts
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.
