1. Exploring climate impacts of timber buildings : The effects from including non-traditional aspects in life cycle impact assessment
Abstract : There is an urgency within the building sector to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. An increased proportion of biobased building materials in construction is a potential measure to reduce these emissions. READ MORE

2. Moisture Safety in Wood Frame Buildings - Blind evaluation of the hygrothermal calculation tool WUFI using field measurements and determination of factors affecting the moisture safety
Abstract : Due to increased awareness of climate change and higher energy costs, well-insulated buildings have become more common. Furthermore, interest in the use of wood in building to produce more carbon dioxide-efficient buildings has increased. READ MORE

3. Thermal stresses in load-bearing glass-timber components
Abstract : Thermal stresses can arise in glass used in architectonic realisations in buildings as a result of solar irradiation: that is, sunlight. The magnitude of these thermal stresses depends on the temperature conditions in the glass in terms of the temperature differences between warm and cold areas. READ MORE

4. Life-Cycle Energy and Carbon Implications of Wood-Based Products and Construction
Abstract : Forests can be an important element of an overall strategy to limit the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) that contributes to climate change. As an integral part of the global carbon cycle, forests remove CO2 from the atmosphere as they grow, and accumulate carbon in tree biomass. READ MORE

5. Complexity and learning in timber frame housing : the case of a solid wood pilot project
Abstract : An extensive governmental evaluation of the Swedish construction industry shows that it is possible to reduce production costs in housing construction through industrialisation, customer orientation, and a more efficient construction process. Today large construction companies are more and more focused on dealing with systems and coordinating large projects and the real production is getting less important. READ MORE
