How can wood construction reduce environmental degradation?
The use of wood has the potential to reduce the environmental impact of construction, particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the overall material use of construction. However, achieving significant reductions in the environmental impact of construction will also mean reducing the impact of the most common building materials (concrete and steel). There is a range of policies at EU and Member State level to enhance the sustainability and resource efficiency aspects of the building sector. These could directly or indirectly support the use of less environmentally burdensome materials, such as wood, in construction. However, the first step needs to be the creation of a level playing field for construction markets, by removing the unnecessary regulatory and cost burdens of wood construction in national construction regulations.
