Urban transformation in Zero Emission Cities

B1
Design and Climate Adaption

C1
Procurement

Cities and communities have to transform to low carbon societies by developing sustainable neighbourhoods with zero greenhouse gas emissions. There is a need to   speed up decarbonisation also of the building stock, existing as well as new. Buildings with low carbon footprints is one of the answers to this. Climate change in the nordic countries will imply more precipitation and an increase in temperature. This affect design and construction processes and buildings have to be adapted to the climate of the future. Good wooden design and solutions are important measures to reduce the risk of failures and maintenance need.    Public procurement allows for setting environmental standards for delivery in a way that promotes innovation. It is a unique opportunity to get developed future solutions and challenge the industry expertise through knowledge sharing and interaction. Will this opportunity exploited well enough by ordering?

C2
Planning and design

Denser cities need less transport, but can also lead to careless transformation of the spaces we value most. New and innovative approaches to build on-top, in-between and wasted spaces can lead to a denser city as well as a better city. Society is asking for efficient and rational building- and production processes. Wooden buildings can be an answer and the industry can adapt to this. A future oriented development in design and industrialized production pave the way for many projects. New wood-based buildings are in the forefront of our new habitats. Through a mix of ideas, technology, methods and subjective decisions, the way we design new wood-based buildings is changing in a rapid pace.

Building Site of the Future

Politics, laws, regulations and public plans form the basis for society and the building sector. As a basis for, but also a barrier towards innovations these are very important for the wooden industry. What are they and how should they be used for further initiating progress in the sustainable built environment? Our understanding of building products has moved from a physical goods to a combined digital, physical and descriptive clusters that allow for greater complexity, better customization and easy, intelligent fabrication. Ever more complex, technologically advanced buildings still need to be adapted to the local context and raised by skilled workers on site. From Health and safety to site adaptation and efficient building strategies, the building site is changing.

End User

A critical success factor for  market breakthrough and healthy business is professional actors and competitive project costs. The market for wood based products and solutions is increasing as a response to climate change, but are competitiveness and market perspectives strong enough? Certain subjects are still a risk factor in design of wooden multistory buildings. Fire safety and sound transmissions are the most prominent. Wind-induced vibration in tall timber buildings is another subject. How can these risks be reduced? In time and on budget” is no longer the standard. Good projects focus on buildings where the end users thrive, become part of daily life and contribute to their surroundings beyond the scope of the project itself.
