dc.description.abstractAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: Wood has been valued as a building material for thousands of years due to its workability and protective properties. In the context of sustainable strategies and the increasing importance of environmentally friendly materials, wood is experiencing a renewed surge in the construction industry. However, the construction sector significantly impacts the environment, with large amounts of land being converted into residential and transportation areas daily. The German government aims to limit the use of new land for these purposes by 2030. Additionally, the construction industry generates substantial waste, with material flows exceeding the amount of waste returning from construction, refurbishment, and demolition. This thesis explores the advantages, disadvantages, and potential opportunities associated with wood as a sustainable commodity for modern building methods. It also investigates the potential for reducing emissions in contemporary construction through the use of wood. Germany's high resource consumption, surpassing its natural resources for the year by May, raises concerns about climate change and the need for solutions to ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. By examining the environmental impact and resource efficiency of wood in construction, this research contributes to understanding the potential of wood as a sustainable alternative and its role in mitigating climate change. The findings aim to inform decision-making processes in the construction industry and contribute to the development of sustainable building practices. Keywords: wood, building material, sustainability, construction industry, emissions reduction, resource efficiency, climate changeen
