abstract = "Sustainable design, alongside environmental awareness, is increasingly becoming a requirement
for building construction. Since the construction industry represents one of the biggest sectorial
emitters of greenhouse gases, causing anthropogenic climate change, application of sustainable
and/or natural materials for buildings is advisable as a significant mitigation measure. In
comparison to traditional energy-intensive construction materials, such as steel and concrete,
wood-based materials consume less energy and emit fewer greenhouse gasses and pollutants
over their life cycle. Building with timber has multiple advantages when environment is
concerned: regionally available resource, renewability, smaller carbon footprint, lighter
structures, prefabrication, faster erection on site, recycling possibilities etc.
Considering the aforementioned, it is very important to spur innovation, research and
development of wood as a construction material. Increased interest in green buildings has
influenced an increase in use of wood materials and more developments in the wood products
sector. Major emerging products from the timber industries include GLULAM, NLT, DLT,
massive veneer panels and CLT, with CLT being the one studied the most. Introduction of
CLT, with its structural capability and improved properties, provided the necessary stiffness
and made it feasible to use wood in construction of mid-rise and tall buildings (>10 storeys),
industrial structures, and bridges.
Since the world’s population is increasing and urban areas are growing denser, there is a
constant need for high-rise buildings, and taking into account that environmental awareness
requires the use of eco-friendly materials, design and construction of high-rise wooden
buildings inevitably becomes a necessity for the modern age.",
