Abstract:
The American and Romanian house market has imposed harmonious
and comfortable living in ecological houses whose building does not affect
the environment. The implementation of modern and efficient building of
long-term sustainable houses has resulted in a new ecological building
technology by the Wood Framing System which is developed and applied on
a large scale in the US. This system is a cheap and accessible method to
build houses and preserve them in time, as well as provide all the comfort
demands. Also, the houses built within this system are adapted to any
architecture style (traditional, contemporary, and futurist).
The house structures built within the Wood Framing System are
conspicuous through the optimum use of the wooden material, resistance,
stability, ductility, low weight which thus reduces the earthquake impact,
durability, high thermal comfort, competitive price. At the same time, the
building time on the site is up to 70% lower, compared with the brick-based
houses.
Within the framing system, a wooden-structure house provides
important advantages, and thus has become of interest on the Romanian
market.
