Abstract

Sustainable buildings are increasingly a key concern, especially when it comes to reducing their climate footprints. This has resulted in the 2023 Building Regulations introducing requirements for the environmental impact of buildings. Buildings of more than 1000 square meters must now comply with requirements of 12 kg CO2 eq per square meter per year.

To reduce the impact from buildings, focus is increasingly on bio-based materials, including wood, since wood will capture CO2 during growth and store it until end-of-life breakdown. Consequently, bio-based materials are frequently used, largely because of the potential to reduce existing environmental impact from buildings now and in the future.

This report highlights the environmental potential of using bio-based materials in the construction industry. The report investigates the environmental impact of 45 timber buildings along with the practical challenges encountered when using timber in construction. First, the report presents the findings of all 45 case studies and, second, a case collection comprising 35 of these to provide inspiration for using wood in construction.
