P|6 Progress The author are possible by using prefabricated components that can be assembled in a very short time windand wea- therproof on site, and which then can undergo interior - gent and careful planning is necessary. Modern materi- in the plant, leading to buildings of high quality even in very short construction times. Another favourable characteristic of wood is that it will to a large extent create an optimum ambient cli- mate even without necessitating involved technical measures. The wooden construction offers clear ad- vantages with regard to heat radiation and a healthy interior environment, which also applies to the interior - come aspects of wood are, among others, the comfort, pleasant touch, surface structure, antistatic property, nice smell, plus a moisture-balancing effect. Beyond this, wood is an aesthetic building material and as such offers a multitude of design possibilities to create highly individual interiors. heat insulating properties compared to similar buil- dings made of other construction materials, since the combination with modern ventilation and energy con- cepts, can therefore meet the current standards of heat and climate insulation to a high degree, and they allow to create buildings that will permit a largely energy- independent utilization. The importance of wood for the future of the building industry is due to factors like ex- sustainability and functionality, but also in its continuing availability when there is adequate forestry manage- ment. The huge variety of characteristics make wood not only an important material from the economic side, but also a building material and substrate with future viability. These advantages have to be seen in context with the challenges of sustainability, and environmental and climate protection. It is important to be aware of the fact that today‘s wood-based substrates allow ecologically compatible and sustainable building me- thods. Benchmark for the wood-processing building in- dustry is to create exemplary and high-quality buildings major role in supporting this progress. The structural use of wood also results in advantages for the place where it comes from, the forest. Everyone undertaking construction of a wooden building should be aware of the fact that in utilising this material correctly, they are to a large extent building with nature and for nature. Prof. Dr. Rainer Marutzky, born 1947 in Halle/Salle, studied chemistry at the Technical Uni- Research in Brunswick. Following the completion of his post-doctoral thesis on the subject of and the utilisation of wood-based substrates, and questions of wood bonding. Beyond this, he is also involved in standardisation activities on a national and European level. Jowat Focus
