Știm cu toții că a trăi într-un mediu cât mai apropiat de natură îmbunătățește aspecte esențiale cu privire la sănătatea fizică și psihică – exemplele cele mai vizibile sunt întâlnite în stabilizarea tensiunii și reducerea nivelului de stres. Aceștia asociază aceleași beneficii chiar și celor ce dețin obiecte decorative din lemn prin prisma materialului ce provine direct din natură. Beneficiile pentru cei ce aleg o casă în totalitate din lemn (un material biologic – provine din natură și ecologic – nu dăunează naturii), crește exponențial. Potrivit unui studiu recent, s-a demonstrat că lemnul are un impact semnificativ asupra următoarelor aspecte legate de bunăstare:
Why go for wood?
A healthier option than concrete
Thanks to these benefits, there has been an increasingly significant investigation in using wood as a building material for schools, offices, and hospitals.
Durable. Easy to build. Energy efficient
If you plan to build a house or any other building but make it spacious, you’ll find all the arguments that will convince you to give wood a chance.
Spacious buildings and especially the tall ones – modern house projects generally – pose a set of special challenges, from the architecture that requires precise projecting for structure durability to increased attention to details when it comes to natural light or energy usage. Luckily, you are in the right place, as wood is maybe the most efficient material for dealing with the above-mentioned aspects. Why? We’ll just list here some of advantages:
A material that doesn’t harm the environment
Though it may seem hard to believe, a wooden house leaves a much lower mark on the environment than other construction materials. The differences are easy to notice, especially when it comes to the carbon dioxide emissions, the effects on the water quality and the environment if we measure all these on the entire life cycle of the material.
A recent study in this field shows that the lifetime carbon dioxide emissions of a wooden house are 31% lower than those of a concrete house and 26% lower than those of a steel house Even before measuring the carbon existing in the wood (which would have been eliminated into the environment once the wood’s life cycle had ended). Another study measures the necessary energy required for building wooden houses using 80 megajoules/wooden beam. A steel beam requires 516 megajoules and a concrete one, 290 megajoules. We must also mention that the carbon emissions are: 4kg for wood, 40 kg for steel and 27 kg for concrete.
