This can partly be attributed to the fact that structural timber products often require less processing for their manufacturing compared to other construction products and their sustainability is therefore relatively increased. As a result, structures such as timber buildings are associated with increased sustainability potential and are therefore selected as sustainable solutions for the construction of housing, commercial or other types of building projects. The current research, described in this paper, is aimed at the quantification of the environmental impact caused by the construction of timber buildings. A case study is used as the basis for the calculations which take into account the whole life cycle of the timber building examined. A life cycle assessment is conducted and the environmental impact assessment results are calculated according to the Eco-Indicator 99 methodology. The interpretation of the results leads to conclusions regarding the level and type of environmental impact caused by the life cycle of timber building projects. 12 pp. LOMv1.0 creator LOMv1.0 Project Executing Organisation 2013 Digital Library of the Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning" abstract types Text Βιωσιμότητα Αξιολόγηση του κύκλου ζωής Ξύλινες κατασκευές 232274 application/pdf http://repository.edulll.gr/edulll/bitstream/10795/2516/2/2516_kazio%20proceedings%20final.pdf Proceedings of the Fourteenth International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing", Civil-Comp Press, Stirlingshire, UK, Paper 149, 2013. doi:10.4203/ccp.102.149 URI http://hdl.handle.net/10795/2516 LOMv1.0creator 2016-04-08T09:15:24Z LOMv1.0validator 2016-04-08T09:15:24Z LOMv1.0 gre no no Copyright EYD-EPEDBM (Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning")
