NoMu Wood is for you, NOrdic MUnicipalities, to inform and inspire about how building with wood can help you deliver on your municipal priorities.
There is a construction revolution taking place across Nordics, as an increasing number of municipalities are using wood in construction to deliver on their goals of creating healthy, beautiful, low-carbon and circular places to live.
Wood is the only renewable major building material, available in abundance in the Nordics, and has a large potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the construction sector.
Despite the numerous environmental, economic and social benefits, wood construction projects may seem daunting to those who haven’t worked with wood before. This platform aims to help you overcome that.
In this section, we guide you through the process of building in wood from the idea and tender stage, right through to the end-of-life. We have gathered resources, information and inspiration from around the Nordics to help you unlock the untapped potential of wood in construction to create the next generation of low-carbon, healthy buildings.

Before you can reduce environmental impact you need to calculate the impact and know how and where to act. LCA is a standardized method of mapping a building’s environmental impact for the entire lifetime of the building.
Wood is a complex material when it comes to calculating environmental impact; therefore it is crucial for municipalities to understand the basics to avoid common misconceptions, and plan for optimal utilization.
