In Brazil, civil construction is one of the sectors that consumes the most energy and generates waste.
Therefore, the use of wood has been an alternative to this problem, since it is a renewable and
sustainable material. The wood frame makes it possible to align the exploitation of wood and the
technology of an agile and clean construction. Despite the growing debate for the dissemination of the
use of wood frame in Brazil, it is not so explored, due to lack of knowledge of the technology, labor
qualification and prejudice with the material. This work aims to verify, through a bibliographic review
and regulations, the use of wood frame, and to understand the processes of cultural acceptance or
rejection of this innovation. It is intended, with the presentation of the characteristics and benefits, to expand the possibilities of using this technology as well as to provoke discussion, diffusion and
dissemination of the same. |
