Choosing timber is one of the simplest ways to reduce the carbon footprint of your home. Each timber cabin stores carbon and uses far less energy to manufacture than concrete.
Why timber is low carbon
- Renewable resource: Timber comes from sustainably managed forests.
- Lower embodied energy: Wood production requires less energy than steel or brick.
- Carbon storage: Trees lock CO2 into the structure of the home.
For an eco-conscious Irish homeowner, timber is one of the most effective ways to build a greener future.
