The Using Wood Well (UWW) project investigates the use of timber in construction, with the aim of improving material efficiency and supporting circular economy principles. The project analyses building data at multiple scales, ranging from whole-building timber volumes to frame- and floor-level material composition, and develops metrics for assessing the use of wood and other plant-based materials in construction. The three developed metrics are: Wood Use Intensity (WUI), Use to Renewal Ratio (URR), and Bio-based Percentage (BIO). The project is a collaboration between ICD at the University of Stuttgart, Change Building and Waugh Thistleton Architects and is funded by Built By Nature.
