Which Codes and Standards?
• Global Standards (ISO, etc.)• European Standards (EN, etc.)• Local Standards (BS, DIN, etc.)
• Local Legislations (Zulassung (D), AvisTech (F), BBA (GB), etc.)• Energy: - Code for Sustainable Homes (GB)
- Passiv Haus Standard (D)• Robust Details (GB)• LEED, BREEAM, Carbon Footprint
• 3rd Party Technical Standards (NHBC, Zurich, etc.)
• Etc. etc. etc.
Engineered Wood
Machined, reconstituted, graded, glued, processed, etc.
• Is it structurally ok to use?• Does engineered timber burn?• What are the sound isolation and insulation
properties?• Does the timber not shrink away?• Is a timber building not very windy/drafty?• What about thermal mass?• Is the timber environmentally friendly? Does it
have a forest certification? • What environmental credentials do you have?

Approach in two parts
• Structural integrity• Fire spread of flames
• To achieve Resistance, Insulation and Isolation
Fire
Approach in two parts
• Structural integrity• Fire spread of flames
Fire
Structural Integrity
• Most timber products char with 0.7mm per minute
• Residual section after 30, 60 or 90 minutes
• “Cladding” with timber products or with plasterboard type sheathing
Fire• Spread of flame• Spread of flame

Sound
• Reduction of Airborne Sound• Reduction of Impact Sound
• Achieve with:– Laboratory tests and a safety
margin– With details robust enough for
errors in construction
• Minimum levels within Europe different in each member state

• Kerto-Q visual panel– Pattern– Coating/colour

Conservation of Energy
Why should we build in timber?
• Timber contains not much embodied energy
• Timber is stored “Sunshine + CO2”
• Timber is an insulation material (k-value < 0.13)
• Timber is not a cold bridge
• Timber can release its energy when recycled
• Timber used as bio-energy source in production (Finnforest)
Conservation of Energy “Store Sunshine”

Conservation of Energy
Achieving the standard by
• Careful detailing
• The right material in the right place
• U-values in timber frame can range from 0.27 to 0.06W/m2K In 1893 Fridjof Nansen whrote when on
the norwegian polar expedition
Conservation of Energy
The Passive House of 1893 Discovered by Rainer Pfluger, Passivhaus Institut
…Also the floors, walls and ceiling have been insulated well with many layers. An airtight linoleum layer was installed so no water vapour from the warm air can condense and eventually freeze. This on top of tarred felt with cork filling. Then spruce boards, then another airtight linoleum layer then another spruce board layer. All ceiling and floors are 400mm thick. The windows, where the cold might penetrate easily, are triple glazed windows. It is a cosy place here no matter if it is -5° or -30° Celsius below freezing and we have no fire in the oven. The ventilation is excellent, as it is pushing the fresh air in. I consider removing the oven, … it is just in our way…. Fritjof Nansen: "In Nacht und Eis. Die norwegische Polarexpedition", Leipzig 1898
