ESPOO, Finland, June 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Et banebrydende åbent innovationsprojekt for at fremskynde væksten i storskala træbyggeri.

Metsä Woods initiativ Open Source Wood er en opfordring til arkitekter, designere og ingeniører om at gå sammen, dele innovationer og bidrage med viden om storskala, modulbaserede byggerier i træ. Med oprettelsen af en åben innovationsplatform omkring modulbyggeri i træ håber Metsä Wood at kunne give de lokale firmaer, der bygger i træ, adgang til global viden og derved skabe samarbejde og vækst. 

For at se vores Multimedia News Release, venligst besøg:

https://www.multivu.com/players/uk/8124651-metsa-wood-launch-open-source-wood/ 

I dag domineres byggeriet af to materialer - stål og beton. Kun en lille del (5-10 %) af byggeriet i verdens storbyer er i træ, og det skyldes til dels, at branchen er opsplittet og lokal. Træ er imidlertid et optimalt byggermateriale til storbyer, da det giver mulighed for hurtigere byggeprocesser. Dets lethed muliggør mindre kostbare konstruktioner, og det er det mest miljøvenlige byggemateriale, da det bekæmper klimaændringer via oplagring af CO2.

Metsä Woods Executive Vice President, Esa Kaikkonen, forklarer: "Der deles ikke tilstrækkelig viden om modulbaseret design og byggeri i træ, så trækonstruktioner fortsætter med at være et nicheprodukt. Der findes masser af innovation, men den er svær at finde, så Open Source Wood er vores løsning. Vi tror på, at branchen ved åbent samarbejde kan opnå en væsentligt fremgang."

Inspireret af open source-filosofien 

Initiativet er inspireret af open source-filosofien, der er udbredt i software-branchen. Den skal drive innovationen længere og hurtigere og afkorte time-to-market.

Metsä Wood tager første skridt ved at dele de immaterielle rettigheder til Kerto® LVL-træelementer - de bliver frit tilgængelige.

Metsä Wood udlover præmier for 30.000 euro  

Desuden belønner Metsä Wood i løbet af 2017 innovationer inden for modulbaseret design med præmier på i alt 30.000 euro til enestående designs, der indsendes som en del af initiativet, og som benytter Kerto LVL som del af designet.

I 2050 forventes det, at ca. 70 % af verdens samlede befolkning bor i byområder. Det betyder, at der er behov for boliger til milliarder af mennesker. Samtidig bidrager storbyer med op til 70 % af den samlede udledning af drivhusgasser, og vi er nødt til at bekæmpe klimaændringerne. En måde at bekæmpe klimaændringerne på er ved at gøre byggeriet mere bæredygtigt, og det er muligt ved at bygge med træ på verdensplan.

Eric Karsh, der er ingeniør hos Equilibrium Consulting i Vancouver, tilføjer: "Vi er nødt til helt fundamentalt at udfordre den måde, vi bygger på. Udviklingen inden for træ går nu så hurtigt, at vidensdelingen ofte bliver flaskehalsen. Dem, der har ekspertisen, har et ansvar for at dele ud af den, og den hurtigste måde er en open source-tilgang, der fremmer viden og innovation fra alle verdenshjørner. Det er derfor, Metsä Wood lancerer dette initiativ og tager første skridt ved at forære viden og immaterielle rettigheder til præfabrikerede elementer væk, så vejen banes for systematisk kreativitet og effektivitet i byggeriet."

Open Source Wood er en fortsættelse af Metsä Woods projekt, Plan B, der blev lanceret i 2015 som en ambitiøs plan, der skulle udforske mulighederne for at anvende træ til byggeri i storbyer.
