Sustainable Future with Low-Carbon prefabricated Buildings

In the current panorama, attention to environmental sustainability in Slovenia is more crucial than ever. Wooden houses represent an ecological alternative to traditional constructions since wood is a renewable, biodegradable, and low-carbon material. This means that over the lifecycle of the home, more carbon is absorbed than is emitted, helping to reduce the overall carbon footprint.

What is Carbon Footprint?

A crucial aspect in pursuing sustainability is the concept of carbon footprint. This is the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions, expressed in CO2 equivalents, produced directly or indirectly by human activities, such as the construction of buildings. Reducing this impact is crucial to mitigating climate change and preserving our planet for future generations.

Jelovica’s prefabricated wooden houses in Slovenia represent a step forward in reducing the carbon footprint of construction. Thanks to the use of wood which is known as a CO2 storer, buildings have a very low carbon impact.

But what is the importance of achieving a net zero climate impact in wooden buildings? In addition to contributing to the fight against climate change, these sustainable practices promote people’s health and well-being, creating healthier and more comfortable living environments. Furthermore, they support sustainable economic growth by stimulating innovation and job creation in the renewable energy and green technology sectors.

Eco-friendly Construction: The Key Role of Prefabricated Wooden Houses

In conclusion, low-carbon prefabricated wooden houses offer a winning solution for a more sustainable and eco-friendly future. Jelovica Houses Slovenia is committed to leading this transformation towards more responsible and environmentally friendly construction, helping to create more resilient and aware communities. Choosing a prefabricated wooden house means investing in the future of our planet and generations to come.

Comparison of Carbon Footprint Wooden House and Traditional House

Example of calculating the carbon footprint in the materials used in a Jelovica building and a traditional house:

Interior wall table Jelovica LINK:

Material: Kg/Co2/m2
Plasterboard sheet 2,1
Wood-concrete slab 6,6
Wooden frame -16,7
Lana di roccia 4,3
Wood-concrete slab 6,6
Plasterboard sheet 2,1
TOTAL: 5 Kg/Co2/m2
Wooden house of 172m2 4.207,8kg

176m2 wooden house Jelovica with 4.200Kg CO2 wooden structure.

The calculation for a brick house of 176m2 is 32.600Kg CO2.

So 7 times as much!

This is why we appeal to today’s young people to choose a more sustainable future for themselves and future generations. What do you think?
