Historically, wood has been a common building material across many regions. Traditional timber framing dates to
Advantages of HolzBauten include light weight, rapid on-site assembly, good thermal insulation, and lower embodied energy
Environmental aspects emphasize sustainable forest management and certification schemes. Life-cycle assessments often show favorable carbon performance
Regulatory context encompasses building codes and standards that govern fire resistance, structural design, moisture control, and
