T-4C1-2 - Low carbon construction of multi-family buildings
Background¶
IPCC WG3 definition: TBD.
No other commonly used building material requires as little energy to produce as wood. Wood products also act as carbon sinks, and the average life of wood as structural material is 75 years. Every cubic metre of wood used as a substitute for other building materials reduces CO₂ emissions to the atmosphere by an average of 1 to 2.5 tonnes of CO₂.
