The world is due to the large amounts of greenhouse gases emissions facing climate changes. These
emissions are increased also by civil engineering and by building facilities, apartment buildings having
the largest share in it. To alleviate climate changes as well as the amount of CO2 emissions, these
emissions have to be decreased, or CO2 has to be removed and stored. The only currently known
material which has the power to do both is wood. For my bachelor's degree thesis I will, therefore,
look into the Slovenian systems of wood constructions and present them. From the building
contractors, I will choose two constructional complexes of the outer wall from each of the wood
building systems. One of them will have wood only for load-bearing construction, the other one also
for thermal and hydro insulation. The analysis of constructional complexes will be done in TEDI
program. The results of building-physics qualities will be compared to the Slovenian conventionally
built constructional complexes of the outer wall. With the help of already-existing studies I will
evaluate some constructional complexes from the point of view of environmental parameters. I will
also give a comparison between these results and the conventional building in Slovenia. I intend to
show how using wood in building facilities can help reduce the amount of releasing CO2 emissions in
the atmosphere, as opposed to a masonry building. A building made of wood also has better buildingphysics
qualities. I wish to accomplish that the number of these buildings in Slovenia would rise.
