Policy narratives on wooden multi-storey construction and implications for technology innovation system governance

Ritva Toivonen et al.

Summary: The study analyzed policy narratives on WMC in Finland and reflected these against the governance of TIS. It found that the market share of WMC remains low, with most policy narratives being pro-WMC but lacking a common vision for the development of the niche. More coordinated efforts are needed among key players to effectively empower the WMC niche.

Wood substitution potential in greenhouse gas emission reduction-review on current state and application of displacement factors

Tanja Myllyviita et al.

Summary: The review found that most of the displacement factors (DFs) describe a decrease in fossil GHG emissions when wood is used as a replacement for non-wood alternatives. Some DFs include emissions avoided in the post-use of wood products, but changes in forest and product carbon stocks are not commonly included in DFs.

Comparing Wood versus Concrete: An Explorative Study of Municipal Civil Servants' Beliefs About Multistory Building Materials in Finland

Florencia Franzini et al.

Summary: The study examines Finnish civil servants' perceptions of wooden multistory buildings, finding that they believe WMSB have positive environmental attributes and support economic development, while concrete multistory buildings are seen to have lower construction and maintenance costs and be less susceptible to fire. External factors such as demographics, previous experience, and social environments significantly influence respondents' beliefs.
