“…Wood is a renewable construction material with a high potential for sustainability. In addition, due to numerous national and international guidelines for Energy Efficiency in Buildings, there is a strong interest in the use of wood in construction [1,2,3,4]. In this context, on the recommendation of FAO, plantations of fast-growing trees for fiber procurement, such as poplar, are becoming very important, since they also provide relevant ecosystem services (carbon sequestration, fight against climate change, soil conservation, and water cycle regulation) [5].…”

The purchase price of any forest plantation depends on the quality of its raw wood, and specifically, variables such as density, orientation of the fibers, bending strength, and bending MoE (Modulus of Elasticity). The elastic waves propagation velocity has become one of the most popular parameters to evaluate the wood in standing trees. This study had two objectives: (1) Show how this velocity is clearly affected by the clone, the location of the crop, and the measurement season of poplar crops; and (2) apply the Akaike information criterion to determinate the arrival time of the waves, on the basis of the entropy of the signals recorded by the piezoelectric sensors placed on the trunk of the tree.

“…Kim (2013) tested many kinds of wall structures for their thermal performance and compared the results of tests with theoretical models developed by application of superposition principle. In addition, there have been some researches on the thermal performance of wooden and concrete wall structures by using several kinds of the developed or commercially available software (Kang and Kim, 2016;Seo et al, 2017;Seo et al, 2016;Yu et al, 2013). Even though couple of researches on the heat transfer through the wall structures were performed by applying some existing software and experiments, there are not enough test data on the temperature distribution in the wall structure, and analysis on where and how condensation and water accumulation may be developed in the wall structure.…”

As energy costs increase, more people has become interested on energy efficiency and savings in residential buildings. The two main subjects related to energy in residential buildings are insulation and condensation. There are two approaches to prevent condensation; increasing air tightness and maintaining the temperature inside of the wall structure over the dew point, which is in turn related to insulation. Even though the Korean government has highlighted the importance of energy efficiency for residential housings, and in spite of the customers' demands, the timber construction industry is still using conventional light-frame construction without even trying to improve energy efficiency. In this study, various types and combinations of wall structures were tested under cold outdoor and warm indoor temperatures to analyse the temperature gradients and to determine the possible sites of condensation in the wall structures. In addition to the experimental tests, three theoretical models were developed and their estimations of temperature change through the wall structure were compared with the actual measurements to evaluate accuracy of the models. The results of the three models agree relatively well with the experimental values, indicating that they can be used to estimate temperature changes in wall structures. The theoretical analysis of different insulation layers' combinations show that condensation may occur within the mid-layer in the conventional light-frame wall structures for any combination of inner-, mid-, and outer-layers of insulation. Therefore, it can be concluded that the addition of an inner and outer insulation layer or increasing the thickness of insulation may not be adequate to prevent condensation in the wall structure without preventing penetration of warm moist air into the wall structure.
