Linking treatability with moisture dynamics
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41031
Wood preservation is inherently linked to the ability to penetrate treating liquids. The EN 147374 (2022) standard provides a methodology to assess treatability and allows to identify wood species in relation to treatability classes.

WoodStock: Empowering climate-smart, circular, and zero-waste use of underutilized wood from the forest and building stock in the construction sector to support the New European Bauhaus
2025 - IRG/WP 25-50405
There is a clear need for enhanced contribution of the forest-based sector to decarbonisation strategies for buildings, both in terms of operational emissions, embodied emissions, and carbon removals. WoodStock is a multifaceted project dedicated to advancing climate-smart wood construction practices in alignment with the New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative. A primary focus is the quantification...
