Efficient and Sustainable Wood-based Constructions

The book brings together surveys and analyses that increase awareness of  wooden buildings in terms of sustainability and the benefits offered by  modern wood-based construction systems in terms of building efficiency.  The volume’s contribution to the understanding of efficient and  sustainable wood-based constructions arises from the explanation of the  authors’ methodology for the evaluation of sustainability and efficiency  within selected phases of the life cycle of buildings, a technique that  can be used for the evaluation of different types of structural systems  and their comparison from various perspectives.
