It is known that 40% of the world’s raw material is used in the construction sector and 50% of the CO2 released into the atmosphere comes from concrete and steel. Therefore, green buildings, whose most important focus is on sustainability and reducing energy consumption, are seen as one of the best solutions to reduce the pressure of the construction industry on climate change and the environment. Due to its focus, green buildings require the use of renewable natural resources, which reduce carbon and energy emissions and consume less energy for the operation of buildings, instead of traditional building materials used in the construction industry. In line with this need of green buildings, the MoreWood project aims to obtain wood and agrofiber-based insulation boards, which stand out with their lightness, workability and mechanical properties, as well as being bio-based, is recommended.In this project our main goal is to provide low emission, energy saving buildings with replacing more elements with more wood.
