Sustainable use of timber in structures involves prioritizing certified and responsibly sourced wood, preferably from local and fast-growing species. Engineered wood products optimize timber resources, while waste reduction and recycling minimize environmental impact. Choosing durable species, considering environmentally friendly preservatives, and recognizing timber's role in carbon sequestration contribute to sustainability. Conducting life cycle assessments and advocating for sustainable forestry practices ensures the long-term viability of timber resources, promoting an environmentally responsible approach to construction.
