It explores market development WMC. corporate perspectives, but it also integrates role end-consumers. A systematic literature review served as an orientation before conducting empirical case studies analysis.

This research raises questions about the possibilities and options of using BIM methodology for wood design construction associated with software structure modeling along asset's cycle life. Likewise, several academic initiatives are reviewed. In this sense, paper aims to establish an appropriate link between two agendas that architecture, engineering, (AEC) industry, academia, governments normally handle separately. By conducting literature reviews (book, journals, congresses) extensive tests (BIM software: Revit, Archicad, Tekla, Wood plug-ins: AGACAD, Archiframe, Timber Framing 2015, WoodStud Frame, etc.), state-of-the-art was assessed in both fields, cases linking shown detail discussed, various theoretical samples modelled shown, advantages disadvantages each technique stage explained.

To date, the existing literature lacks any studies that compare timber and concrete apartment buildings in Finnish context regarding their carbon footprint, handprint, cost of frame structures. This study rigorously analyzes calculates costs associated with various structural solutions a proposed multi-story building located Laajasalo, Helsinki, Finland. While primary focus is on wooden construction, exploring both its challenges opportunities, this also includes comparative assessment construction. In Finland, regulations require sprinkler fire extinguishing system to be installed inside. Also, weather protection typically added top connection construction buildings. When are taken into account, achieving positive climate effects through 290% higher than solid wood frame. Our findings will provide robust basis for assessing sustainability feasibility methods, offering valuable insights environmental economic considerations decision-makers Finland beyond as evolve awareness impacts grows.

Wooden multi-storey construction (WMC) offers an alternative building solution for urban consumers seeking a low-carbon, sustainable lifestyle yet, the literature on consumer experiences in newly constructed WMC-apartments is sparse. This exploratory study develops understanding about choices with built through thematic interviews of residents and property managers five cities across Finland Sweden.Contents analysis reveals that neither material nor sustainability triggered residents' initial interest new apartment. Residents found WMC appealing but traditional housing choice criteria (e.g. location, floor plan affordability) guided ultimate purchasing decision. Notwithstanding, expressed developed neighbourhoods suffered from limited services trusted future long-term development would increase service availability.Wood was experienced as mainly positive assessed together overall aesthetics, durability aspects building. builders considered apartment's during resistance to changing climate conditions).

Finland shows strong support for reducing its climate footprint originating from the built environment as part of national carbon neutrality goal by 2035. Two prime examples are increasing wood use in construction and favoring building renovation to alleviate emissions virgin materials. However, open question remains whether citizens also these decarbonization pathways. By using national-level data a randomly sampled citizen survey (n = 1448), we model preferences two The results suggest that preference renovate rather than build anew is shown respondents female gender; over 55 years age; with lower household equivalent income; possessing housing property investment. Wood material positively favored higher living smaller population centers countryside; owning forestland. Interestingly, effect agency was negative both models.

Despite this, there exists paucity research concerning stakeholders' perceived value real purchase decision towards products. Consequently, this study aims fill gap investigating products derived from construction demolition (C&D) waste its effect on decisions. Design/methodology/approach Research data were collected 219 valid questionnaires completed Chinese stakeholders. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was then employed test eight hypotheses. Findings results show intrinsic cue (materials) extrinsic (brand) influence the stakeholders’ judgment C&D products’ their intention. However, cues quality, word-of-mouth, price, policy advertised have not play significant role in practice.

The significance this research lies its examination different trajectories between Korea. novelty contribution are underscored provision novel cross-cultural perspective. methodology incorporates sophisticated techniques, such as Means-End Chain Extended Association Pattern Technique (EAPT) respectively. high degree respondent agreement, measured Fleiss' kappa coefficient (κ = 0.86), lends robustness to consumer preferences perceptions. Key findings reveal that Japanese consumers place priority on "energy efficiency," seeking blend traditional craftsmanship modern design elements. In contrast, Korean prioritize "modern aesthetic" aspects, favor contemporary innovative designs. Furthermore, finds younger strongly value sustainability, while older demonstrate similar level engagement with wooden multistory housing. Additionally, urban residents both Korea practicality aesthetics, whereas rural countries show preference for aesthetics. practical applications underscore diverse guide culturally tailored housing policies.
