* The inside is also being completed at the same time as the exterior. 1st, insulation is put into the open cavities which are found between the structural boards. * That is then covered with gypsum board, to provide: Fire safety A good base for applying finishes * All the interior finishes are applied, including paint, flooring, and cabinets * If not wood, what building material can give you these kind of benefits. Concrete Steel Seismic Performance – Traditional wood homes (post and beam) performed well in the Sichuan earthquake and modern wood frame homes are even safer. The seismic performance of WFC was previously proven during the major earthquake in Kobe, Japan, 1995. Sustainability – Wood is one of the few truly renewable building materials. The manufacture of wood building materials produces much less air pollution and water pollution than other building materials. (a little known fact: in the production of cement, 0.5 metric tons of carbon is released for each metric ton of cement produced) Energy Efficiency – Wood frame structures require less energy for heating, creating cost effective, comfortable homes. Insulation is an integral part of the wood frame system. The wood itself is like structural insulation. Construction Speed – In most applications, wood frame systems can be constructed faster with fewer workers. Low Carbon As humans seem to be unable to control CO2 emissions we put into our atmosphere, we are lucky to have trees. It starts when trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then store that carbon in wood products. The continual absorption, storage and eventual release of carbon creates an endless cycle. When forests are healthy and growing they can absorb even more CO2 emitted by cars and factories. If you remember back to your high school biology classes – you will remember that plants and in particular trees, absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, and using the energy of the sun, complete a complex chemical transformation
