Improvement and practical application of dry-type pressure treatment method
2025 - IRG/WP 25-20734
In years, the need for environmental consideration has been reaffirmed worldwide, and in Japan too, there is a demand for the expansion of the uses of wood in order to achieve a decarbonised society. So, there is also a need to develop and improve wood preservation treatment methods that overcome the weaknesses of wood and enable it to be used in a wide range of applications. The authors have impr...

Relationship between changes inside moisture content of wood measured using temperature and humidity sensors and swelling and shrinkage
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41030
With the spread of mid and high-rise timber buildings, the long-term use of timber buildings is getting required more than ever. It is considered that measurement of the local inside moisture content of a wooden member is one of the useful methods for periodic health assessment of timber buildings. The aim of this research is to establish an easy estimation method of the local inside moisture cont...

Biocomposites based on fungal mycelium and beech particles impregnated with BPCM (bio-phase change material) for thermal energy storage
2025 - IRG/WP 25-41034
The building sector is a major contributor to Europe's carbon emissions, and transition to a bio-based economy is essential for achieving long-term sustainability goals. The European Union has set ambitious targets for climate-neutral heating and cooling by 2050, which requires the widespread adoption of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies. A key element in this transition i...

Wood Protection in the Tropics: A Necessity in the Face of Climate Change and Rising Demand for Wood Products Consumption
2025 - IRG/WP 25-50413
With the rising demand for forest products due to population growth and continuous expansion of tropical countries’ economies. Therefore, the need for judicious use of forest products in the advent of climate change to meet the needs of the people cannot be downplayed but serve as a clarion call to conserve and improve the use of forest products for longer services. My talk will highlight the st...

Addressing Climate Challenges through the Valorisation of Calamity Wood in the Alps-Adriatic Region
2025 - IRG/WP 25-50416
The WoodInnovate project addresses pressing challenges facing the forest-wood value chain in the Alps-Adriatic region, which are intensifying due to climate change. Rising temperatures and frequent natural disasters are degrading wood quality and increasing pest outbreaks, particularly from bark beetles. These environmental shifts jeopardize forest ecosystems, reduce the economic viability of timb...
