Promoting Low Cost Energy Efficient Wooden Buildings in TÃ¼rkiye To promote and replicate the use of innovative wood based technologies as low carbon construction materials in TÃ¼rkiye based on the successful implementation during the project of at least 6 pilot wooden building projects for a total of 8 400m2 floor space leading to an additional 0.58 million m2 of new construction in TÃ¼rkiye coming from wood by 2028 leading to direct lifetime greenhouse gas emissions of at least 165,715 tonnes of CO2e and indirect emissions of 2,353 tonnes of CO2e. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The major socioeconomic benefit to be delivered by the project is the creation of new job opportunities by establishing CLT as a new, green building material. New employment will be created in various sectors of the economy, including forestry, wood processing companies (producing CLT), construction companies, engineering and architectural companies. However, there is no quantitative information available from studies on the job effects from CLT. It is mentioned that there is shifting in jobs (fewer jobs on the construction site, as construction is faster, and more jobs in forestry and CLT production), but no information on job effects is available. Through the cost-effectiveness of CLT over traditional building materials, new investment opportunities for the private sector will be created. There are benefits on the local level due to the shorter construction time for CLT buildings. In interviews, Turkish construction companies confirmed that the construction time of an average building is reduced from 15 months to 9 months (minus 40%). It also needs to be considered that CLT panels are pre-fabricated, so there is less local pollution and noise compared to standard buildings made out of concrete and steel. A study on a CLT building in the UK confirmed that there were only 111 deliveries to site required compared to 800 deliveries for a building with an equivalent concrete frame[1]. This is a reduction of 86%.A specific emphasis throughout the project implementation will also be placed on gender-related aspects by including gender-specific indicators into the project results framework, collecting gender-disaggregated data on the project impact during its implementation and specifically encouraging female experts and business owners to participate in awareness raising and training as well as in the implementation of CLT buildings. Various women's associations will be involved in the project to ensure the strong participation of women.
