The Role of Business R&D in Environmental Sustainability: Evidence From the Nordic Countries

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As environmental sustainability becomes an increasingly important concern for advanced economies, the role of business innovation in relation to environmental outcomes has attracted increasing attention. This study examines the relationship between business enterprise research and development (BERD) and environmental sustainability in the ...

Timber buildings with enhanced energy and seismic performance for the Mediterranean region

, 2022
S.3110-3119Timber buildings are characterized by a thermal inertia lower than other technological solutions in construction. For this reason, some configurations may lead to higher cooling demand and poorer energy performance in hot climates, such as the

Coherence Between Climate and Land Use Policies of the European Union, Brazil, and Indonesia: A Primer to Analyze Potential GHG Leakage

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Incoherence between national land use policies may weaken climate mitigation efforts by creating conditions under which agricultural and forestry production and GHG emissions are displaced across borders (leakage). Coherence depends on constellations and prioritization of national policy aims in land use (production) and climate (conservation).

Mass Timber

, 2020
The goal of this project was to research and evaluate the usage of mass timber in structures. An 8-story residential building was designed and analyzed by remodeling a 5-story residential/commercial building.

Experimental study on the quasi-static progressive collapse response of post-and-beam mass timber buildings under an edge column removal scenario

, 2021
Mid-rise to tall mass timber buildings are becoming internationally popular and are required, for instance in the Eurocode or the Australian building code, to be designed against progressive collapse.

Biomass‐derived hydrochars as eco‐friendly adsorbents for wastewater treatment applications

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Emerging organic pollutants (EOPs), such as diethyl phthalate (DEP), bisphenol A (BPA), and methylene blue (MB), are only partially removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants. This study assesses hydrochars produced by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of spruce bark (SB), vine shoots (VSs), and wheat straw (WSs) for removing three ...

Stiffness and Strength of Scots Pine Wood Under Compression Perpendicular to the Grain and Rolling Shear Loading

Applied Sciences
To increase and optimize the use of wood in structural elements, a deep understanding of its mechanical behavior is necessary. The transverse material properties of wood are particularly important for mass timber construction and for utilizing wood as a ...

This is hardcore: CNC prototypes for timber cores : Designing multi-storey timber buildings from the inside out

, 2014
No architect will make a dent in the universe by designing an excellent services shaft or HVAC system, and yet architects could certainly do a lot worse than focusing on redefining the hidden innards supporting our built environment.

Decay and extinction of mass timber enclosure fires

The invention of engineered timber products such as cross laminated timber and glue laminated timber has enabled buildings to be entirely or partly made of timber, where the timber makes up the structural elements such as slabs, walls, columns and beams.
