Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been widely used to determine the environmental impact of
mass timber construction (MTC) as a substitute for conventional construction. This article …

The construction of timber buildings has increased in recent years, thanks to the excellent
properties of the material. To achieve improved behaviour in terms of mechanical properties …

Climate change mitigation is a recurrent consciousness topic among society and
policymakers. Actions are being adopted to face this crucial environmental challenge, with a …

To date, in the literature, there has been no study on the comparison of hybrid (timber and
concrete) buildings with counterparts made of timber and concrete as the most common …

The building and construction sector is a large contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas
emissions and consumes the vastest amount of natural resources. Widely considered a hard …

Value Engineering (VE) is a process where building materials, systems or design strategies
are substituted to reduce capital costs without negatively impacting functionality. This …

Engineering wood products have significant potential as a sustainable alternative for
