Wood is the main material that decreases CO2 emanations up to practically invalid once collected and development finished. The dividers’ warm transmittance is of U=0.268 and the rooftops’ is of U=0.207 coming to an A+ vivacious capability. The imperviousness to fire of the structure is RF=30. The inside completions are made in a three-layered plywood with pine complete, and the outside completions is in autoclaved treated fir wood.

Warm protection forestalls heat misfortunes amid winter and picks up amid summer because of a legitimate insurance. The decision of timber as a principle material assumes a part in the general protection of the development. Timber has low warm conductivity, around 0.13. Likewise, we have set 16cm thick (rather than the customary 5cm utilized as a part of the zone) protection in a characteristic and biodegradable material. The material picked is wood fiber with a 0.043W/mK warm conductivity and 50kg/m3 thickness. The protection wraps around the entire development with 12cm in heights and 12 in floors and roofs.
