Reinventar la estructura de madera
Concluyeron en Madrid un edificio de viviendas de 20 metros de altura con estructura de madera. Aseguran que este material facilita la construcción, ahorra energía durante la misma, optimiza la superficie útil y multiplica el ahorro energético en el interior de los pisos.
La vieja madera podría ser el material del futuro. Más fácilmente reemplazable (en bosques reforestados con tala controlada) y más ligera que los costosos y pesados acero y hormigón armado, la madera laminada cruzada CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) pegada a 90 grados es, además, más resistente al fuego y más fácil de manipular.

One of the oldest trees in Patagonia, in danger of disappearing
An Argentine scientific team demonstrated how the temperature increase affects one of the most emblematic trees in Patagonia for the end of this century, climatic models predict that the temperatures of the high areas of the Patagonian mountains will be similar to those that the valleys and lakes of lower altitude have today. Given this scenario, a Conicet research team set out to evaluate the possibilities of adapting the lenga (Nothofagus pumilio), a typical tree species of the high regions of the northern Patagonia and fundamental for the Andean ecosystem.
25 -year study states that forests with five tree species capture 57% more carbon compared to monocultures
Mixed forests store more carbon and strengthen the fight against climate change forests play a fundamental role in carbon capture and storage, which helps reduce the speed of global warming. However, not all forests have the same capacity for carbon absorption and retention. A recent study of the University of Friburg has shown that mixed forests, those that contain various tree species, are significantly more efficient in carbon capture than monocultures. These findings reinforce the importance of promoting forest diversity as a key strategy against climate change.
