Timber frame is one of the most sustainable methods of delivering new housing. If correctly managed, timber is a renewable resource and has the potential to provide much lower embodied energy than masonry or concrete. This Information Paper describes the most common approaches to timber framing in the UK and how these are evolving to meet the increasing demand for high performance, low energy housing. Case studies illustrate three different approaches to low energy timber-frame residential construction.
