Importance of HardWood Products
Embodied carbon emissions in the construction industry account for more than 23 percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions in Australia. It is becoming more important to consider carbon emissions embodied from building materials in addition to the operations of transportation and energy.
Wood that is sustainably sourced is the sole recyclable material. It grows naturally and removes CO2 from the atmosphere. Carbon removed by trees from the air is stored in wood products, which store about 50% of the wood's dry weight.
The manufacturing and processing of wood requires less energy, also known as embodied energy - than most other building materials, giving wood products a substantially lower carbon footprint. Wood can be used to replace materials that require larger amounts of fossil fuels to be produced. There are numerous benefits to choosing wood from sustainable sources.
CLIMATE Change: The Hardwood products Houston.
Wood is the only construction material that helps tackle climate change. It is vital to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as well as remove existing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Wood does both.
CARBON WOOD STORES WOOD
The wood products and trees have an remarkable capacity to store carbon. They absorb carbon dioxide when they grow. If the trees are sustainably harvested and used in the production of Stair treads Houston, the carbon remains stored in the wood throughout the life of the finished product. Around 50 percent of the weight of wood is made up of carbon.
THE RIGHT WOOD IS RENEWABLE
The wood that is reliable can be found from any location. There are many benefits to this the forests can reseed to increase carbon storage as well as oxygen production and the habitat of forests.
THE RIGHT WOOD PRODUCES LESS CARBON DIOXIDE
The manufacturing and processing of wood consumes less energy - known as embodied energy, compared to many other materials used in construction, resulting in hardwood products Houston the benefit of a much less carbon footprint. Wood can be used as a substitute for products that require the most fossil fuels. As a rule of thumb when you exchange one cubic metre worth of solid material, like concrete or brick, for one cubic metre of wood and eliminate around one tonne (1000kg) of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the atmosphere.
Wood is good for health and wellbeing
Research has proven that wood use has tangible physiological and psychological health advantages. It is now well-known that wood can provide many advantages, such as the ability to ease stress and boost productivity, better learning for students, faster healing for patients and general feelings of peace and joy.
Wood is a strong material.
Wood is strong enough for residential and commercial buildings. If properly maintained, it will last for hundreds of years. Modern wood preservatives enhance the wood's natural strength.
Further coverage is possible by WOOD
The rising demand for ethically sourced wood products that conserve carbon may lead to an increase in the number of well-managed forests and plantations on cleared or marginal land.
Wood is a natural insulator
Because of its air pockets in its cellular structure, wood is an excellent natural insulation. Wood is an excellent insulation material, 15 times more than concrete and masonry and 400 times better than steel and 1,770x higher than aluminum. This can help reduce the cost of cooling and heating the building.
Wood is extremely strong and durable.
Wood products and trees possess a unique capacity to store carbon. The trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. When the trees are sustainably harvested and used to make Wood countertops Houston the Wood countertops Houston product, carbon is stored in the wood throughout the life of the finished product. Carbon is approximately half of the wood's dry weight.
WOOD IS NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL
Research conducted by Planet Ark has identified the positive associations that wood can create in people, where an majority of Australians were in agreement that wood is visually appealing and has a natural look and feel. Eighty percent of respondents believed that wood was adaptable, recyclable, and renewable and also long-lasting.
Wood is quick and simple to build with
Prefabricated wooden buildings are simple to build and are delivered off-site. The 18-storey Brock Commons building in Vancouver was built in 9 months. Wooden buildings can be built throughout the year in all climates.
Wood is a lot cheaper than wood.
Economic studies on wall framing systems have demonstrated that timber frames are the most cost-effective option in terms of building expenses.
