プロジェクト概要
Vestack designs and builds low-carbon buildings from wood-frame walls and floor panels based on two innovations: architectural design software and an industrialized construction system. The approaches are implementing low-carbon construction models and replacing concrete for non load-bearing walls and floors.
Biobased materials for construction are an excellent option to reduce the carbon footprint of the building sector as they use fewer pollutant materials and low amounts of energy to manufacture (compared to, for example, concrete, gypsum, or steel). Furthermore, it helps store atmospheric CO₂ for considerable periods of time.
Better construction and use of buildings in the EU would reduce 42% of our final energy consumption, about 35% of our greenhouse gas emissions, and more than 50% of all extracted materials. In 2019, the construction and operation of buildings were responsible for 38% of global energy-related CO₂ emissions. However, the emissions decreased by 10% due to the pandemic and the efforts worldwide to decarbonize the sector.
Vestack aims to produce various types of buildings over the following years. Based on their environmental performance, their activity could remove 194 kg CO₂ eq/m2 based on their standard building construction done in 2022.
