CO₂ CALCULATOR
Compare CO2 potentials at a glance
What influence does the choice of material have on the CO₂ footprint of your component?
With the CO₂ calculator from Weitzer Woodsolutions, you can compare the potential CO₂ impact of an implementation in wood, steel, or aluminum based on volume or dimensions. The calculation illustrates the different potentials of the materials and shows the contribution wood can make to a more climate-friendly construction method.
The results serve as guidance in early project phases and support an initial assessment of possible CO₂ savings. A technical design and feasibility assessment of the component are carried out on a project-specific basis.
* The values shown are valid provided that the required mechanical properties allow for the use of wood – a high-tech material – within the specified installation space.
** The CO₂ calculator is designed to illustrate the potential of timber in lightweight construction. For a robust assessment, we recommend involving the lightweight timber experts at Weitzer Woodsolutions at an early stage of project development. No entitlement to a subsequent product or component solution can be derived from the results presented.
*** Statements regarding actual feasibility and specific CO₂ figures can only be made once Weitzer Woodsolutions or the Wood Vision Lab has designed the component in a manner appropriate to the timber.
