Cedar Siding
Wood
products require much less energy to produce than concrete or steel.
An independent comparison of the energy needed to obtain, manufacture,
transport and install building materials for identical wood frame,
steel frame and concrete houses proves wood's environmental superiority
over alternative materials. The result is more fossil fuels saved
with less air and water pollution. |
