Wood in 2010s: Tall wood codes
Read the condition on Wood before the nickname. Year 2010s, line “Tall wood codes,” figure 18. Origin story: Palaeolithic tools; CLT 1990s Austria (Global forests / Graz).
This atlas treats Wood as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in. Conductivity note: ~0.1–0.2 W/m·K along vs across grain. Insulation score 56/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win. Fire letter in editorial use: D–B depending on product / treatment. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.
Origin: Palaeolithic tools; CLT 1990s Austria, Global forests / Graz. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install. Uses span buildings to defence / safety. Pairings matter: steel. Circularity mark 76/100. Ask which scrap, which certificate, which year.
Related atlas entries, a short glossary, and three threads that keep Wood honest. The incombustible frame alternative. Mass and fire cover vs carbon debate. The cavity insulation timber walls need. The usual 30–60 min lining on timber. EN 13501-1 reaction-to-fire letter (A1–F), not a wall rating.
