The European research project TIMBERHAUS was launched in Copenhagen at the beginning of November, Empa<\/a> announced<\/a> in a press release<\/a>. It is one of 19 partners from a total of ten countries taking part in the project, which is funded by the EU and the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation<\/span><\/a> and aims to promote timber construction in Europe. Within four years, innovative timber construction technologies and structures are to be developed with which CO2 emissions in the construction sector can be significantly reduced.<\/p>\n

According to Empa, the construction sector is responsible for 40 per cent of global CO2 emissions. The use of wood could help here. Currently, however, European forest resources, half of which consist of hardwood, are only utilised “very inefficiently” and limited to a few types of softwood for construction, explains project coordinator Anders Kjellow from the Danish Technological Institute<\/a>. “With TIMBERHAUS, we are trying to overcome this challenge in order to increase the sustainable use of wood in construction.”<\/p>\n

Empa is contributing to the project with innovative prototypes created using digital tools such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. “The prototypes will serve as practical examples of how we can effectively utilise a wider range of wood resources,” Empa researcher Mark Schubert is quoted as saying in the press release. “Our goal is to provide the construction sector with viable and efficient products that meet current building standards while promoting the principles of the circular economy and supporting European climate goals.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
