Wood in Carbon Efficient Construction
Abstract
The project is part of a scientific cooperation in the framework of the ERA-net Programme WoodWisdomNet. The Austrian part is financed by FFG and the Association of Austrian Timber Industry in der project “EcoTimber”. The main objectives of ECO2 are (i) to create a holistic understanding of carbon efficiency in the full life-cycle of a building, (ii) to define the technical potential and obstacles for the use of wood in carbon efficient construction, (iii) to develop practical solutions for calculating and optimising the carbon footprint of different wood construction systems, and (iv) to disseminate the scientific results efficiently to relevant stakeholders, including e.g. authorities, regulation developers and construction industry. BOKU is mainly responsible for objective iv. The work is based on an innovation system analysis which will identify relevant target groups and their information needs. The work will then assess and select suitable communication and dissemination tools and strategies.
