TITLE:
V2-2350 - Ensuring the quality of sustainable timber construction
DESCRIPTION:
New knowledge in the field of construction - in the broadest sense of the word -, environmental protection issues and general changes in the lives of individuals and society as a whole have been in recent years reflected as a departure from established methods of construction back towards timber construction. The once symbolic share of timber construction has been rising in recent years and follows the trends in modern European countries which Slovenia wants to emulate.
Slovenia can be successful in this, after all, wood is the only raw material that we have proverbially in abundance, but unfortunately we are not the most skilled at using it. With the project, we therefore want to address, in addition to timber construction, the field of timber-based construction materials, which represent a starting point for efficient and successful timber construction. The specificity of wood and wood-based materials requires knowledge of its or their specifics: Only properly selected and installed timber-based materials can be a building block of sustainable construction. The existing technical specification focuses mainly on the area of products, while the quality of timber construction itself is not specifically defined or regulated.
Proposed project addresses the review of the current situation in the field of timber construction, including construction materials based on wood, identify shortcomings in the field of technical specification and regulation, and propose guidelines for ensuring the quality of sustainable timber construction, which might also present the shift for possible changes to the legislation in the future.
