Five short chapters on building with timber and its carbon footprint.

  1. Background Why the building industry has to cut its grey emissions, who Timber Computer is for, and how it helps you measure, compare and apply.
  2. Clean Construction Efficiency, sufficiency and consistency as the basis of sustainable building, and how the choice of materials reduces a building's grey emissions.
  3. Life-cycle Assessment How a life-cycle assessment works, the phases of a building's life-cycle, and why Timber Computer focuses on the global warming potential (GWP).
  4. Application The reference building behind Timber Computer, a five-storey townhouse, and how its elements and their life-cycle data from ÖKOBAUDAT were chosen.
  5. Scaling How timber construction can scale: Germany's Charter for Wood 2.0, ecological criteria in concept tenders, and how cities can use Timber Computer.
