All Facts Are Sourced Reliably from the UKTFA ( UK Timber Frame Association).

A Typical 100 square meter Timber Frame Home with two storeys, uses 5-6 cubic meters more timber than your standard masonry house, therefore every timber frame homes saves about 4 tonnes of CO2, which in Lehman's terms, is the equivalent of driving 14,000 miles in a car.
In addition to these CO2 savings, the operational cost of a house can be reduced due to timber’s thermal efficiency.
If all UK houses built since 1945 had been timber frame, then over 300 million tonnes of CO2 would have been saved.
Most timber products, from timber frame systems to joinery, can help designers and developers improve their EcoHomes ratings.

Timber is a Carbon neutral material, even after transportation has occurred.
Timber frame has the lowest CO2 cost of any commercially available building material.
For every cubic metre of timber used instead of other building materials, 0.8 tonne of CO2 is saved from the atmosphere.
77% of the energy used in the production of timber products comes from wood residues and recovered timber.
Strength for strength, concrete uses 5 times (and steel uses 6 times) more energy to produce than timber.
Waste and ‘end of life’ wood can be easily recycled.

Timber is a completely renewable and non-toxic form of building material.
Although worldwide deforestation remains to be a prominent issue, it is by no means caused by the European construction industry which mainly uses soft wood.
Over 90% of all timber consumed in Europe is sourced from European forests.
UK timber frame uses 99% European softwood.
The more timber used in Europe, the more we grow, as we a dedicated to planting more trees than we cut down.
Every year our forests grow by over 3,500 square miles – equivalent to an area the size of Cyprus.
Forests act as huge carbon sinks. The total carbon sequestered in Europe's forests is over 9.5 million tonnes.

Timber frame has 30% shorter, and a more predictable construction time than brick and block.
This means a faster return on investment, reduced disruption to local communities, and tidier, safer and more efficient sites.
Timber frame construction helps to promote greater partnering, better control and project savings through improved supply chain integration.
