Abstract

Wood and timber are historical construction materials, but their applications in buildings have been largely limited to low-rise construction as well as wood products such as doors, window frames, or furniture used in buildings. The application of timber in tall buildings has recently received significant interest by architects and engineers, mainly due to concerns about the environmental impacts of buildings, timber’s carbon potentials, and developments of new timber products with enhanced mechanical properties.
The current chapter will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art knowledge related to the environmental impacts of timber’s application in buildings. The chapter starts with a brief history of timbers in buildings, reviews the carbon cycling in forests and how deforestation affects it, and proceeds with the pros and cons of timber construction and the recent technological developments that have addressed the concerns regarding timber’s application in tall buildings. Finally, an overview of the literature regarding the life cycle environmental impacts of timber buildings is presented.
