comparing timber construction vs. standard (heavy) construction in terms of embodied energy #3606

Open anjaWill opened 3 months ago

Describe the feature you would like to have I would like to have a pure timber (frame) construction as part of the construction standard database. It´s not included yet.

Describe the end purpose of this feature to be able to compare embodied energy and operational demand of a building in timber or massive construction

Describe the end-user of this feature decision supporting visualisation of construction options, i.e. for densification

This is a good idea. Do you have the relevant data to formulate such a timber construction standard that we can add to the database?
