Climate calculation and economic forecast for Växjö station and municipal hall
A detailed climate and economic assessment of the Växjö station and municipal hall project, illustrating how timber constructions combined with Sitecovers full weather protection reduces total carbon emissions and life-cycle costs. The report shows that wooden structures, when built under cover, enable shorter construction times, and a lower carbon footprint total the carbon footprint reduction of the project equivalent to the annual Co2 consumption of 250 inhabitants.
