Wood is Nature
Trees withdraw carbon dioxide from the air, absorb the carbon and produce oxygen. When considering the life-cycle-balance of wood, the use of timber as construction material clearly outperforms other building materials such as concrete or steel. As the use of wood as a raw material is CO2 neutral, the use of timber as the building material of choice can be seen as an ecologically sound alternative. The eco-balance and life-cycle assessment of timber buildings are excellent and this is the reason why the use of timber as a building material can be seen as an active and substantial contribution to climate protection.
