Sustainability requires a change in worldview and pragmatic solutions to the challenges we face, in every area of our lives.

An important sector that requires a sustainable approach is the construction of new houses or extensions and additions to them.

Building a wooden house consumes less energy than any other solution and uses a renewable material which, as it grows, stores CO2 and produces oxygen.

Thus the PEFC – FSC controlled and certified forests guarantee the regrowth of what is taken each year as well as contributing to maintaining the biodiversity of our forests unaltered. And at the end of its life, the material with which a wooden house is built can be easily separated, reworked for intelligent reuse or destined for the production of panels or energy and not disposed of in landfills.

NZEB and NZEC are two acronyms that are the basis of construction sustainability.

By 2030 all new buildings, infrastructure and renovations will have at least 40% less carbon footprint with a significant initial reduction in carbon emissions and all new buildings must be net zero operational carbon emissions.

By 2050, all new buildings, infrastructure and renovations will have to have zero net operational carbon emissions and all buildings, including existing buildings, will have to have zero net operational carbon emissions.

Only in this way will we be able to contribute to the reduction of random emissions resulting from the rise in global temperatures.

In October 2018, cyclone VAIA devastated the forests of the NORTH-EAST with winds of 200KM per hour ( cjampiuz Forni di Sotto – ud ) and 815 mm of rain in 48 hours.

In living memory, our forests have never been so damaged by natural phenomena.

Tens of millions of trees uprooted, millions more broken or felled. An immense volume of material that risks remaining in the forest, fueling the spread of parasites. A forest heritage that must be recovered and enhanced in the shortest possible time. The forest is one of the “essential” assets that the planet has. It produces oxygen, stores the infamous CO2 and at the same time mitigates the increase in global temperature.

Wood, as the only truly renewable raw material that can be reworked at the end of the cycle, compared to any other material, contributes to reducing emissions into the atmosphere. As producers of wooden houses, outdoor structures and furniture, we promptly joined the PEFC initiative with the “PEFC SOLIDARITY SUPPLY CHAIN” program.

To prevent the felled wood from remaining in the forest, we have committed ourselves to the local organizations to purchase wood for a quantity equal to the needs for the next 4+5 years, storing it in an adequate manner so that it maintains all the mechanical characteristics and durability of the wood. structural wood. It is “mountain” wood with very close growth rings whose fiber guarantees structural superiority compared to wood coming from different latitudes.

For all this we will also be able to “reserve for our customers” advantageous price conditions and each of them will be given a plaque which will highlight that the structure of the building was built with wood coming from the “PEFC-2018 SOLIDARITY CHAIN “.

A solidarity supply chain that will be good for man, the environment and the territory.

The environment, understood as external environment and internal environment.

The external environment is the one in which we operate. A delicate high mountain environment, in which activities must maintain the surrounding environment and its ecosystem unaltered.

The internal environment is that of the houses in which we live, an environment which must have as its main requirement the guarantee of healthiness, safety and comfort.

Respect for the environment so that the activities “generate”, even in their transformation, the lowest “foot print”.

Living in a wooden house, built with these principles, has a positive influence on people’s well-being, because in our houses, we do not use paints or components that release VOCs and the laminated wood structures we produce use polyurethane glues which do not emit formaldehyde.

Houses are a source of consuming so much energy. That is why they must be built in such a way that they operate more efficiently and conserve resources.

Building from the principles of energy containment and ‘efficiency is the approach needed to minimize the use of eletric energy for heating and lighting. Therefore, roof insulation, airtightness of walls, fixtures and LED lighting are crucial choices for energy containment of the building.

With this principle, even our production and processing activities, are powered only by energy derived from renewable sources, and we heat our laboratories, offices and to produce the thermal energy needed for the transformation processes, using only waste from processing and from the clearing of forests. No use of fossil fuels.

The continuous use of raw materials and primary minerals is depleting their availability and is a source of wars and tensions in the race for hoarding. The development that has supported consumption in the last century has been guided by a logic of:

– Linear Economy: withdraw, produce, discard – will have to be changed with
– Circular Economy: renewable materials, renewable energies, life extension, reuse and recycling.

These topics have already pervaded our activity, which is entirely oriented towards containing waste, using sustainable raw materials and making use of thermal and electrical energy obtained from renewable sources. In compliance with these principles, we think about the intelligent use of energy, we plan carefully to make your home last a long time, and we project our thoughts on how one day, once it reaches the end of its cycle, all its components can be recovered, for a possible reuse.

Because we have the ambition to transform waste into value.
