Las casas de madera revalorizan los bosques
El sector de la construcción trata de impulsar la silvicultura ante el aumento de las viviendas de este material, del que se importa el 90%
El siglo XIX fue el siglo del hierro, el XX el del hormigón, y el XXI será el de la madera”.

La demanda de edificios de madera crece año tras año, y no solo entre el mercado de la segunda residencia: la madera es uno de los materiales que más se tienen en cuenta en la promoción pública de vivienda. La razón es simple: la edificación es la responsable del 40% del gasto de energía en Europa, y la madera se presenta como un material mucho más adecuado que el hormigón para cumplir los objetivos de la directiva europea en materia de eficiencia energética.
