Building with wood is not only advantageous but a necessity. It is advantageous because we use this high-end material to achieve efficient solutions with a greatly superior aesthetic value. It is a prefabricated construction, enabling major quality control and the optimisation of raw materials. The assembly on-site is fast and simple. Timber constructions show a better performance as a result of the excellent thermal insulation of provided by wood. It is a necessity, because we urgently need to reduce the environmental impacts of construction. Only by using natural, renewable materials, which could be local, such as wood, is it possible to achieve the desired goal of carbon neutrality, meaning a net zero carbon footprint. Thirdly, wood stores carbon dioxide that is only released into the atmosphere when the wood is burned. Thus, timber constructions operate as batteries that store carbon dioxide.
