Abstract

The Italian forest area, about 40% of our territory, represents a resource that requires sustainable management plans focused on the protection of biodiversity, with timber for the construction sector coming as much as possible from native wood species, exploiting the opportunities offered by the forest bio-economy. The paper starts from the national wood supply/demand gap and presents a survey of local species potentially usable for Vertical Perimeter Walls with exposed wood. Analysis and evaluation of the case study solutions adopted in buildings that foresaw the use of short supply chain species for the external and internal cladding layers in line with sustainability criteria and functional and architectural characterisation (Availability, Recyclability, Integration Maintainability and Appearance). The structure of a multi-criteria analysis to apply to them, providing relevant references for developing a ‘repertoire of technical solutions’ of Vertical Perimeter Walls, as a tool for making sustainable design choices.
