Comparative LCAs of Conventional and Mass Timber Buildings in Regions with Potential for Mass Timber Penetration [PDF]
Sustainability, 2021 Manufacturing of building materials and construction of buildings make up 11% of the global greenhouse gas emission by sector. Mass timber construction has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by moving wood into buildings with designs that have traditionally been dominated by steel and concrete.

Wind-induced vibration serviceability of ten multi-storey timber buildings [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Open Research EuropeMulti-storey timber buildings are prone to wind-induced vibrations, especially due to their lightweight nature, which can lead to occupant discomfort. Vibration serviceability may be a critical design criterion for such structures.
