TIMBERHAUS

The construction sector is responsible for 40% of CO2 emissions, 50% of all extracted materials and 35% of waste generated. TIMBERHAUS is the new EU-co-funded project aimed at decreasing these numbers and reaching Europe’s climate policy targets by developing innovative circular solutions for sustainable wood construction. To reach this goal, TIMBERHAUS will: develop wood processing technologies based on machine learning and AI to prototype wood construction products incorporating underutilised wood resources and recycled wood - design circular wood building blueprints incorporating three aspects: local cultural traditions, design languages, and human health and well-being develop new methodologies to quantify the carbon removal benefits of wood construction products and other building materials - collaborate with European cities and their stakeholders to co-design project solutions - contribute to the New European Bauhaus initiative … and much more!
