Description

This dataset provides lookup harvest time period data to support building-level Use-to-Renewal Ratio (URR) assessments for bio-based and other renewable materials. It consists of two main complementary files: a formatted XLSX material group and product lookup table, and a machine-readable CSV containing the lookup data for wood species used in the Using Wood Well project timber building URR calculations.

The XLSX file provides a formatted overview of URR values for a selected number of materials and the indicative ranges across a variety of resources and products. The table of raw materials is organized by regeneration time scale, including regeneration time band and time unit, region, renewal period (low, high, and average), product application, SfB category, average product lifespan based on BUILD 2021, component lifespan based on RICS v2 Table 20, and the calculated indicative Use-to-Renewal Ratio (URR) for each product. The file also includes an example table and a glossary tab containing definitions and references.

The CSV file contains the underlying data used for the building-level URR assessment, specifically covering the wood species represented in the 56 UWW Level 2 timber building case studies. It includes information on biological or wood type, abbreviations, harvest values, material groups, species commonality, product mappings, and notes on data sources and assumptions. This file is also available in XLSX format, with additional tabs including a glossary describing the CSV fields and an abbreviation list provided to support the interpretation and consistent use of the data.

Using Wood Well research project is a collaboration between Change Building, ICD at the University of Stuttgart, and Waugh Thistleton Architects, funded by Built by Nature.

Unpublished Dataset Preview URL

You can create a Preview URL to copy and share with others who will not need a repository account to review this unpublished dataset version. Once the dataset is published or if the URL is disabled, the URL will no longer work and will point to a "Page not found" page. Only one Preview URL can be active for a single draft dataset.

To cite this data in publications, use the dataset's persistent ID instead of this URL. For more information about the Preview URL feature, please refer to the User Guide.

General Preview

Create a URL that others can use to review this draft dataset version before it is published. They will be able to access all files in the dataset and see all metadata, including metadata that may identify the dataset's authors.

Anonymous Preview

Create a URL that others can use to access an anonymized view of this unpublished dataset version. Metadata that could identify the dataset's author will not be displayed. (See Tool Tip for the list of withheld metadata fields.) Non-identifying metadata will be visible.

The dataset's files are not changed and users of the Anonymous Preview URL will be able to access them. Users of the Anonymous Preview URL will not be able to see the name of the Dataverse that this dataset is in but will be able to see the name of the repository, which might expose the dataset authors' identities.

To verify that all identifying information has been removed or anonymized, it is recommended that you logout and review the dataset as as it would be seen by an Anonymous Preview URL user. See User Guide for more information.

You won't be able to create an Anonymous Preview URL once a version of this dataset has been published.

Unpublished Dataset Preview URL

Are you sure you want to disable the Preview URL? If you have shared the Preview URL with others they will no longer be able to use it to access your unpublished dataset.
