While the wood products industry has made strides toward generating greater awareness and understanding of wood’s advantages in the built world, oftentimes the material’s performance related to energy efficiency is overlooked. As energy codes become increasingly demanding and pressure mounts to reduce the environmental footprint of the building sector, the use of wood in building envelopes affords many advantages—from wood’s natural thermal resistance and low embodied energy, to excellent structural performance and constructability. Due in part to these favorable characteristics, builders can meet even the strictest energy requirements using wood.
