Our role

Life Cycle Assessment of environmental impacts of increased wood use in the Danish construction sector.


The Danish Center for Construction asked us to analyze and uncover potentials and barriers for the use of wood as a building material in the Danish construction sector.

The project covered:

  • The extent of the use of wood in Danish construction.
  • The applications and potential for increasing use, including reviewing the advantages and disadvantages of using wood.
  • The possibilities of increasing the use of wood by using sustainable wood.
  • Barriers to increasing the use of wood and experiences from abroad in breaking down barriers and building skills.
  • Environmental and overall economic effects of substituting other more commonly used materials such as concrete, bricks and metal products with wood.

In collaboration with DAMVAD Analytics and Goritas.

The final report (in Danish) can be read here.
