Event details

Wood is a renewable and essential material for the ecological transition, increasingly used in the building sector thanks to evolving environmental standards and the growing interest in more sustainable construction practices. However, its use is still hindered by:

  • Fire safety regulations perceived as complex

  • Acoustic standards considered demanding

  • Cultural or psychological barriers to wood use

During this conference, leading experts (architects, engineering firms, fire prevention specialists…) will share their insights, review the regulatory framework, and present technical innovations that reconcile performance, sustainability, and compliance. It is a unique opportunity to learn how to overcome existing obstacles so that wood can take its rightful place in tomorrow’s construction.
