BE-WoodEN: innovative low carbon solutions in wood construction through the NEB approach

The European Green Deal has emphasised the importance of circularity in building and construction, as a means to reduce waste, improve sustainable materials and reduce GHG emissions. The main objective of the project presented is to promote decarbonisation and improve circularity by proposing training and innovative solutions suitable for large building stocks, mainly social housing, overcoming the barriers in the use of wood (cultural, technical, economic and regulatory, which hinder promotion of the wood supply chain in several countries). The project is based on New European Bauhaus values, and its implementation follows the principles expressed by the NEB Compass, increasing knowledge and skills on the topic, and promoting a new way of design following a participatory approach.
