Development and Marketing of Ecological Wooden House Systems for Harsh Climate Areas - Eco House North

Programme 2000 - 2006 Northern Periphery

Date of latest update: 2021-04-06

Description

Description (EN):

Recent research has shown that there will be an increasing demand for ecological wooden houses in the future. This is due to an increased awareness about environmental matters, and stricter environmental legislation and requirements of buildings, for example in energy saving. Changes in the population structure and way of living also necessitate the development of new kinds of settlements and house types that are flexible and easy to modify for customers’ varying needs and expectations. However, present products do not meet all the necessary ecological requirements and their applicability to harsh climate areas needs to be improved. In order to fulfil these criteria, there is a need for an international network of expertise that would carry out the task. The development of ecological wooden house concepts and the organisation of training within the network would help bring this know-how to local SMEs. This network would also enter the export market and hence bring new business opportunities and work places to sparsely populated areas. This project aims to create a range of environment conscious building concepts, which suit different climatic, economic, social and logistic conditions in the NPP area. From an ecological point of view, the renovation of existing wooden houses is important, and therefore the project will develop ecological renovation guidelines and wooden products.

Expected Results (EN):

The expected results of the project are an increase in environmental consciousness amongst the construction and building industry, new techniques and materials for local companies, and improvement in export market opportunities. The project will contribute to raising employment opportunities and possibilities in the NPP area, and will also increase collaborative working and exchange of experience in this field for the benefit of the NPP area.
