Greenhouse gas balancing of wooden buildings - realization of new requirements for life cycle assessments and determination of empirical substitution factors (THG-Holzbau)
Project
Project code: 28W-B-3-054-01/02/03/04
Contract period: 10.01.2014
- 30.09.2016
Budget: 315,855 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
In this research project empiric substitution factors for timber buildings are identified on basis of new standards in LCA calculations. These data get transfered in software for sustainability assessment. Beside positive substitu-tion potential of wooden products the carbon storage for timber buildings gets quantified for Germany to show possible consideration in Kyoto-protocol. Based on actual market share of timber buildings the project shows the impact of changes in market share for use of wood until 2020 and their impact on greenhouse gas emissions. To overcome obstacles in timber constructions, which oppose rising share of wood, practical solutions are developed.
