Designing a circular and innovative wood construction value chains in order to build a sustainable connection between rural and urban area

Project Specs

The main goal of this project is to define a strategy of resource optimization to foster the best use of a specific number of forest hectares that will enable the construction of a medium sized building (16 dwellings with 4 floors which represents a high percentage of the buildings present in Europe). The whole process must be optimized to maximize the consume of wood products from this forest (solid wood, fibers, veneers, bark, sawdust, etc.). Depending on the specie and the European region the mentioned surface will range from 5 to 10 hectares. The objective is that the building is mostly based on products and sub-products from these wooden resources. (H2020_ GA 862597)

“From digital forest to digital building” this is the project’s concept which wants to assure that the 100% of the wood construction value-chain is correctly exploited by digitalizing the entire chain.
Basajuan is a new wood-based product with the potential of being the pilot and full-scale production of materials and system which will be performed. The scaling-up of production will be in the range of 500 to 2000 m2 for all the elements and hundreds of kilograms in the case of chemical products. These materials and elements will partially take advantage of the use of shavings, dust, chips, and cut-offs produced along the value chain.

The used approach is in the building system which is the evolution of already existing building solutions through the integration of wood-based building materials.
The project collects experiences of Osirys project to make a step further.
