Wood fibre insulation from sawmill residue to produce insulated fabricated timber components for closed-loop, resource efficient building

这项研究的目的是评估从锯木厂废渣中制造一种松散填充的木纤维绝缘产品的可行性，主要用于装配式木材建筑组件，以创建一种低碳、资源高效和具有成本竞争力的建筑解决方案。将对原型绝缘产品进行关键性能要求的评估，如热性能、防火性能、耐久性和抗沉降性。将考虑是否需要添加剂来改善耐火性或耐久性。这项研究旨在为松散的WFI绝缘的制造和性能提供一个规范。主要创新涉及使用锯木厂废渣来生产木纤维绝缘材料，用于锯木厂在闭路过程中生产的木材部件。

The objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of manufacturing a loose fill, wood fibre insulation product from sawmill residue for use primarily within fabricated timber building components to create a low carbon, resource efficient and cost competitive building solution. The protype insulation products will be assessed for key performance requirements such as thermal, fire, durability and resistance to settlement. The need for additives for improved fire or durability will be considered. This study aims to deliver a specification for the manufacture and performance of a loose WFI insulation. The central innovation relates to the use of sawmill residue to produce wood fibre insulation for use in timber components produced by the sawmill in a closed loop process.
