Abstract [en]

Today, the world vigorously promotes energy-saving, ecological, and environmentally friendly building materials. In constructing projects, green building materials are gradually recognized by building manufacturers. The development of environmental buildings largely depends on the development of bio-based building materials. Therefore, it is very important to develop and apply green building materials. Wood's organic warmth, softness, and other benefits, including its ability to act as a natural insulator and control moisture levels, make it an ideal building material for the future. Wood is sufficiently malleable and easy to process to create ready-made building modules from it at no extra cost. Wooden buildings fit into the surrounding landscape better than others. Wood is a lightweight, high strength, beautiful appearance, good workability, is renewable, recyclable, green, and pollution-free, so wood structure buildings have good stability and seismic performance. Wooden skyscrapers use wood as the primary building material. The architects are convinced that a lower carbon dioxide emission will accompany the construction of a wooden skyscraper compared to the construction of a conventional concrete building.
