ForestMap is an online platform developed by Agresta that calculates forest inventories based on remote sensing technologies such as LiDAR and Sentinel 2. ForestMap offers detailed forest inventory reports and provides information such as the wood stock in a forest plot and other key decision-making data you can easily request from your computer.
Kelluu produces small, autopilot airships that can stay in the air (almost) permanently. Kelluu airships can be loaded with three kilograms of any modern sensors. Then they continuously move or float in place, collecting and transferring data wherever needed. Kelluu provides continuous aerial inspection or surveillance with their airships as a service.
Virtual Forest 2.0 enables efficient 3D visualisation of forest stands based on accurate data and forest management options; the user can see the impact of forest management interventions in the virtual forest before applying them in real life.
iWald is an application that supports forest owners’ decisions concerning forest management. The app allows forest owners to compare silvicultural treatments and simulate the growth processes of forests on the smartphone or tablet to make technically well-founded options for sustainable management of their forests.
The project’s work on “Design of timber building for deconstruction and reuse” focuses on the primary design of buildings and ways to facilitate deconstruction. The project has developed the first design version for the deconstruction and adaptability indicator system.
The project aims to develop solutions for building with stackable, scalable, adaptable and reusable wood using CLT Panels made with Irish Sitka Spruce.
RISE has done inventories of the deconstruction of wooden buildings, developed a set of criteria to assess the quality of recovered wood, tested recovered wood for the development of models, and designed mass timber products and CLT panels.
Avant Wood provides innovative Thermo Mechanical Timber Modification solutions (TMTM™) and associated process control software and hardware technology. With Avantwood’s modification units, small-diameter timber can be used commercially in high-value-added engineered wood products.
A recent product from Garnica is G-brick, an insulating structural panel with high mechanical performance recommended for the construction system in passive or high-performance energy-efficient projects.
The Basajaun project developed a thermal insulation panel from wood pulp (CTMP). The insulation panels are recyclable and biodegradable. The innovative panels present an equal thermal conductivity as current wood fibre-based insulation materials and have a good insulation performance.
