Reduced construction emissions, increased use of certified sustainable materials

Verified carbon projects sit alongside reduction. They do not make a venue or event carbon neutral or net zero.

What the project does.

This innovative project is redefining sustainable construction by replacing traditional high-emission materials with biobased modular wood components. Conventional construction heavily relies on carbon-intensive materials like concrete, which significantly contribute to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This prefabricated modular approach reduces emissions by incorporating sustainably sourced timber and low-carbon building techniques.

The aim of the project is to integrate architectural design software with industrialized manufacturing, leading to:

By advancing low-carbon construction, this project actively contributes to the EU’s climate action goals, providing a scalable, sustainable alternative to traditional building methods.

Reduced construction emissions, increased use of certified sustainable materials

What it supports.

  • Reduces reliance on carbon-intensive concrete, lowering GHG emissions
  • Sequesters 142 kg CO₂e per m² by using biobased materials
  • Uses 100% PEFC-certified wood, ensuring responsible forestry practices
  • Shortens construction time by 50%, reducing resource consumption
  • Supports the transition to low-carbon housing through sustainable design
  • Promotes responsible material sourcing, ensuring environmental protection
  • Enhances building energy efficiency, reducing long-term energy costs
