Abstract:

Wooden construction constitutes a specific branch of the building industry that focuses on
high-quality materials, a developed sense of aesthetics connected with comfort and functionality,
and concern for ecology and durability. This type of construction has a positive effect on human
quality of life. This article focuses on modular frame construction and technological aspects of
wooden houses built according to Canadian or Scandinavian technologies. Taking weather conditions
of Scandinavian countries into consideration, timber is a popular building material, which, when
preserving certain parameters such as density of rings, may provide durability of a modular wooden
building even up to 200–300 years. This article is a review and presents the possibility of producing
frame buildings in Europe (Poland) in accordance with the applicable standards, including a heat
transfer coefficient U = 2 [W/(m2·K]. In Poland, wooden frame buildings can be traced back to the
14th century. Wooden frame buildings and modular wooden frame buildings were produced even
earlier in Norway. Wooden construction continued in the mid-1800s in various forms (with wooden
filling and/or panels). In the mid-1900s (1941), certain dimensioning became regulated by law, which
then applied to different types of insulation fillings. Prefabricated modular wood frame houses were
common in the 1960s.
