Tervetuloa keskustelemaan Decarbon-Home-hankkeen tähänastisista tieteellisistä tuloksista ja niiden yhteiskunnallisista vaikutuksista yhdessä hankkeemme kansainvälisten asiantuntijoiden kanssa. Neljän ensimmäisen hankevuoden aikana olemme lähestyneet asumisen ja rakentamisen oikeudenmukaisen kestävyysmurroksen edistämistä monista näkökulmista. Olemme tuottaneet tietoa asumiseen ja ilmastonmuutokseen liittyvistä arvoista, asenteista, käytännöistä, ilmastotoimenpiteiden edellytyksistä, ja jo toteutettujen toimenpiteiden onnistumisista. Parhaillaan kehitämme konkreettisia työkaluja ja ratkaisuja yhdessä monien sidosryhmien kanssa.

Kansainvälisen tieteellisen neuvonantajaryhmämme asiantuntijat edustavat omien alojensa huippututkimusta. Asiantuntijat ovat mukana tutkimuspäivässä sekä kommentoimassa ja keskustelemassa hankkeemme tuloksista, että tuomassa omia näkökulmiaan asumisen ja rakentamisen vähähiilisyyskeskusteluun. Asiantuntijoiden lähestymistavat koskettavat asumisen vähähiilisyyskysymyksiä filosofiasta politiikkaan, teknologiaan ja käytäntöihin. Päivän kieli on englanti.

Decarbonising the house and the home: perspectives on carbon wisdom

When: Thu 6 February 2025 at 9:00-15:30

Where: Latokartanonkaari 9, 00790 Helsinki (Meeting centre, Tiimi A4)

The Decarbon-Home project warmly invites you to explore its scientific findings and discuss their societal implications with our team of international experts. Over the first four years of the project, we have examined the promotion of a just sustainability transition in housing and construction through diverse perspectives. Our work has produced valuable insights into values, attitudes, practices, conditions for climate action, and the successes of existing measures addressing housing and climate change. We are now collaborating with a broad array of stakeholders to develop concrete tools and solutions.

Our international scientific advisory group consists of leading experts from diverse fields, each representing the forefront of research in their respective domains. These experts will join us on the research day to comment on and discuss the findings of our project while sharing their own insights into the low-carbon transition in housing and construction. Their perspectives will span a wide range of topics, from philosophy and policy to technology and practice. The event will be conducted in English.

Abstract

Using wood in multistory apartment construction (WMC) has a climate-positive advantage with buildings acting as long-term carbon storage. Business ecosystem (BE) development around WMC is needed to accelerate the adoption of wooden materials in the conservative construction industry. As the business actors around WMC are essentially different from those using other building materials, new knowledge must be built from the project level. This study uses a qualitative interview approach among actors from three pioneering urban building projects to address their perceptions of building with wood regarding a project-based BE. Based on the thematic analysis, sources of both tangible and intangible value creation were found to arise from building with wood. A higher degree of prefabrication associated with WMC was seen in all projects to influence the reorganization of logistics, enabling faster building processes and lean material use. No strong sustainability-driven culture could be identified in any of the projects. Results further flag the sensitivity and importance of management and coordination skills in targeting improvements of the construction business based on WMC. In the bigger picture, there is still room for further research at regional and global level on business model changes in building with this renewable and recyclable material.
