Homegrown C16. Increasing the use of Irish home grown C16 timber in Housing Construction
This report presents the outcomes of Project UA03/22 entitled “Increasing the use of Irish home grown C16 timber in Housing Construction”, funded by the Accelerated Housing Applied Research, Dissemination and Demonstration (AHARDD) Programme Fund 2023.
This short project led by the Timber Engineering Research Group (TERG) at University of Galway aims to provide a summary of solutions and recommendations that can promote an increase in the use of home-grown Irish timber in housing (low and high rise) and offsite construction in Ireland.
