The current edition of the Structural Physics calendar covers the full range of structural physics topics related to wood construction, which has been gaining increasing attention in recent years. This construction method is characterized by lightweight design and short construction times due to prefabrication. Energy-efficient wooden structures with thick insulation layers are possible in framing and panel construction. The focus of this growing interest also emphasizes the use of renewable primary material wood, as the CO2 sequestered during the growth phase remains stored in the building and relatively little energy is required for its production.

In order for this advantage over solid construction methods with concrete or brick to have a real effect, the lifespan of wooden buildings and structures must be comparably long. For higher-class buildings, aspects of structural physics play a critical role: moisture protection, thermal insulation, and fire protection must ensure the durability of the construction and, together with sound insulation, guarantee high-quality use. The use of natural insulation materials for these purposes also becomes more attractive alongside wooden construction.

The new Structural Physics 2022 calendar offers a solid working basis and a reliable, updated reference for planning both new buildings and existing structures, with all chapters closely linked to practical engineering. The book contains design guidelines, concepts, and practical examples for energy-efficient, damage-free, and sustainable construction with wood.
