- Abstract:
Demands by customers for environmental better products produced under economically sound conditions are increasing steadily. Wood has a lower environmental impact than most of the competing materials used in the building sector. However, for reliable customer information, environmental impact verification methods for timber-frame houses are needed. The Forest Steward Council (FSC) is a forest certification scheme operating at a global level. It relies upon a performance based standard that includes specific performance measures that can be used as a basis for product labeling; minimizing the environment impact is covered by one of the FSC's ten principles. A case study of a customized timber-frame house illustrates the possibility of using the FSC percentage-based volume criteria as an environmental labeling, ensuring criteria that the wood products come from well managed forests. The case study demonstrates not only the simplicity, but also the drawbacks of applying the FSC labeling to complex wood products such as houses, and an analysis of a proposed model gives insights into how the FSC labeling can be extended for houses by incorporating building functional and service life criteria.
