“…A type of engineered wood known as laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is produced by stacking multiple wooden layers along the grain direction of wood veneers [171]. Although the production of LVL has increased significantly in recent years, owing to its versatility in many fields, the use of bio-based adhesive has not yet progressed to widespread practical use.…”

“…Aiming to enhance bio-based adhesive's practicality and utilization rate, Xiong et al produced LVL, bonded with cornstarch-based adhesive [171]. Despite showing good cohesive and film-forming properties, the cornstarch emulsion prepared by the authors failed to meet the requirements for LVL's water endurance bonding strength and preformability.…”

“…However, even though EWPs are increasingly being used as construction and building materials in many countries, the current structural limitations and the predominant use of petroleum-based adhesives, which are the key element to produce EWPs, contribute to the release of toxic gases [63], and the global AEC industry does not regard timber as the solution. That is the reason why investigators are looking for other options to improve timber and make it an actual competitor to conventional construction materials.…”

The use of timber in the building industry has expanded in many countries over the last 20 years due mainly to its light weight, low adverse impact to the environment, and fair mechanical properties. Despite the development of the construction industry in the Kurdistan Region in Iraq (KRI) in recent years, timber product utilization is still very limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of further utilizing timber-based products in the building industry in semi-arid regions using the KRI as a case study. A review of timber product utilization in the region was conducted first and the general properties of timber products were followed. Based on this, a survey focusing on the current situation and suitability of localized grown timber products was carried out to study the feasibility. This article concludes that the use of timber-based products in the KRI presents different barriers, with the availability in the market and technicality of construction with the material being the strongest ones. The article recommends that it is imperative to further research how to promote timber’s utilization in the KRI to be in line with sustainable development.

“…Therefore, careful selection of materials can improve air quality, healthy, and comfortable indoor environments [64]. In this regard, previous research has been done for different parts of non-structural building materials including floor [65,66], wallpaper [67,68], insulation [69,70], adhesive [71], paint [72], and wood-based panels [73]. However, the current research focused on a specific biocomposite as GBM especially fabricated from non-toxic, natural, and organic materials that could reduce IAQ contaminants and the accompanying complaints and claims.…”

Conventional building materials (CBMs) made from non-renewable resources are the main source of indoor air contaminants, whose impact can extend from indoors to outdoors. Given their sustainable development (SD) prospect, green building materials (GBMs) with non-toxic, natural, and organic compounds have the potential to reduce their overall impacts on environmental and human health. In this regard, biocomposites as GBMs are environmentally friendly, safe, and recyclable materials and their replacement of CBMs reduces environmental impacts and human health concerns. This study aims to develop a model of fully hybrid bio-based biocomposite as non-structural GBMs and compare it with fully petroleum-based composite in terms of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and human health impacts. Using a small chamber test (American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)-D5116) for VOC investigation and SimaPro software modeling with the ReCiPe method for evaluating human health impacts. Life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology is used, and the results indicate that switching the fully hybrid bio-based biocomposite with the fully petroleum-based composite could reduce more than 50% impacts on human health in terms of indoor and outdoor. Our results indicate that the usage of biocomposite as GBMs can be an environmentally friendly solution for reducing the total indoor and outdoor impacts on human health.
