The use of wood reduces the carbon footprint of construction when taking into account the entire life cycle of the building from material production to construction, use and recycling. In buildings, wood can act as a carbon stock for centuries.

Wood is an excellent building material, and its advantages include good formability, acoustics and air quality. Wood for construction can be processed into many different forms, such as laminated veneer lumber, plywood and chipboard. Wood composite material, in turn, combines the advantages of multiple materials.

In addition to structures and external walls, wood can be used in building insulation, furniture, and other equipment, such as acoustic panels.
