Program: Nordlig Periferi

External Timber Cladding in Maritime Conditions

The project will develop new knowledge and share best practice in the design, construction and maintenance of external timber cladding in the north and west of Scotland, western Norway, and the Faroes.

Eco House North

Recent research has shown that there will be an increasing demand for ecological wooden houses in the future. This is due to an increased awareness about environmental matters, and stricter environmental legislation and requirements of buildings, for example in energy saving. Changes in the population structure and way of living also necessitate the development of new kinds of settlements and house types that are flexible and easy to modify for customers’ varying needs and expectations.
