    Wood is a promising sustainable construction material that can help reduce global energy use and carbon emissions from buildings. As wood stores carbon dioxide, using it in construction is carbon negative. Research aims to study wood construction technologies to learn how wood can lower energy and emissions compared to other materials, as well as understand modern wood techniques, their strengths and limitations, and lessons from traditional architectures.

    WOOD IN SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION

    To research and study about wood and its construction technologies which makes a building
    sustainable.

    NEED OF STUDY

    Buildings and construction together account for 36% of global final energy use and 39% of energy-
    related carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emissions . {International Energy Agency (IEA)}

    Against this background, wood and wood based building products has attracted attentions as a
    promising construction material due to their unique environmental properties {renewability ,
    reusability , carbon storage capacity} etc.

    Wood is carbon negative since carbon dioxide is stored in the original wood and the emissions
    associated with harvesting, transport and processing are small compared with the quantity of
    stored carbon dioxide.
    QUESTIONS

    How can wood as a construction material help in loss of energy and carbon emission ?

    What are the construction techniques in the field of wood , their strenghts and limitations ?

    Learning from vernacular architecture ...

    REGION SPECIFIC ?
