Wood sustainability comparision with Conventional Buildings
- 1. Wooden House A sustainable Environment friendly Option A comparison with Conventional buildings www.woodstyle.in
- 2. Concrete Building Wooden building As Responsible Human Biengs , If we Want to do development we need to resort to sustainable methods of construction. Which will save our environment and planet.
- 3. Concrete Building Wooden building Pollute air. Damage surroundings Waste Water Do not Pollute air. Save surroundings Save Water
- 4. Concrete Building Wooden building Climate change 45% Carbon Emission by Concrete Buildings,, Wood Absorb Carbon di oxide and hence create a double positive impact for managing Climate change
- 5. Concrete Building Wooden building Consumes Large Quantity of water which is not accounted Water Less Construction. Does not Need any water during process of construction
- 6. Concrete Building Wooden building Non Insulated Building With High Thermal Mass. Require more Energy for heating Wood is a thermal insulator and hence require less enegry for managing Comfortable interior.
- 7. Concrete Building Wooden building Concrete Building are Earthqauke prone and are not Safe for Human life Wooden Buildings are Lighter and more sturdy in earthquake and bieng lighter are safe for human life
- 8. Concrete Building Not Economical. Lot of Environmental cost are not considered Wooden Buildings are Economical as they can be build faster and the commercial cycle start earlier. Also The Enviormental safety is addressed Concrete Building Wooden building
- 9. Concrete Building Wooden building Concrete construction in hilly terrain is very cumbersome and time taking Wooden Buildings are prefabricated and hence is very fast on site and managable
- 10. Concrete Building Wooden building Concrete construction will give a normal hotel feel. Wooden Buildings give a look and feel of luxury and resort
- 11. Concrete Building Wooden building Concrete construction are unsafe in case of fire Wooden Buildings are safe in case of Fire.
- 12. Concrete Building Wooden building Concrete construction are unhealthy in terms of finishes Wooden Buildings are safe and healthy as wood creates healthy interiors
- 25. Modern building codes take fire safety and protection seriously. All building materials experience negative impacts from exposure to fire: steel buckles, concrete spalls and wood burns. In a fire, the char forms on mass timber at a predictable rate, slowing combustion, while retaining strength and allowing time to evacuate the building. FIRE SAFETY
- 27. PROPOSAL of BADRINATH Guest House POST & BEAM / CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER Why Are We Building Taller with Wood? EFFICIENT FOOTPRINTS. Wood structural systems have high building-volume-to-surface-area ratios, allowing for spacious interiors even with space constraints that typically require tall, compact designs. TIGHT ENVELOPES. Mass timber components are fabricated with high levels of precision to ensure a tight fit. Together with wood’s natural insulating properties, mass timber construction offers strong thermal performance, which is critical for tall buildings. PROVEN FIRE RESISTANCE. Large wood slabs char on the outside, protecting their inner structure, which is essential to occupant and first-responder safety in wood buildings, particularly those with multiple stories, during a fire event. STRUCTURAL AND SEISMIC PERFORMANCE. Wood’s strength-to-weight ratio is competitive with steel, but it weighs considerably less, reducing the load on the foundation during seismic events and making for a resilient and safe structure. FASTER AND SAFER ON-SITE CONSTRUCTION. Prefabricated sections can be manufactured off-site, shipped to the project and then assembled on site, significantly shortening project timelines and improving safety and accuracy.

Editor's Notes
- If we see the statistics of sector wise carbon emissions we observe that almost 45-50% of carbon emissions comes alone from building industry. Compared to 25-28% from transportation and only 20-25% from industries and other sectors.
- CONCRETE and Steel is the most widely form of construction material
- Andrew Waugh One of the First Architects who experimented Wood as a primary construction Material and Made a 10 Storey Tower in London. Wood is an incredidble material and emerging solution to address the challenge of Climate Change and World Housing. Wood As a material squesters co2 of the atmosphere and retains it in its molecular form till the end of its life cycle. If wood is converted into buildings and furnture and other items this co2 is entraped in the wood structure till the end of life of the wood till it degenrates or is burned to emit the co2.
- It’s the Only Material that absorbs CO2 from the Atmosphere and releases oxygen . I M CU of wood squesters or absorb 1 ton of CO2.
- If we see here for concrete. Concrete Life ends in a non recyclable debris.
- If we see here steel. We see that its very good in recycling but is uses extensive energy along its complete lifecycle process and hence leaves a large carbon footprint
- In comparison Wood on the other hand consumes least amount of energy and time to grow. It takes up the energy of the sun and natural environment to grow and it has commendable qualities to be regenerated ,reused ,recycled and replenished much Faster and easier then compared to Concrete and steel.
- Wood Give Mother nature Finger Prints to building which makes us connect with them with utmost passion.
- The Main The Concerns about wood is its strength
