Zagreb : International association for economics and management in wood processing and furniture manufacturing - WoodEMA, 2025. ISBN 978-953-8446-04-7. Pp. 21-28.This paper focuses on the role of the bioeconomy and the wood sector in particular as a driver of competitiveness in the construction sector in the light of the EU's ambitious environmental and social goals. The paper highlights the need for greater recognition and support of this sector by EU countries and institutions. It presents carbon balance related knowledge in the field of building design and identifies ways in which the public sector can promote more construction based on bio-based/renewable materials. The aim is to assess the supporting tools and the (still untapped) potential of using wood in building construction from the perspective of implementing pro-environmental initiatives and strategies.en© vydavateľinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessdrevársky priemyselbiohospodárstvobioeconomystavbybuildingsconstructionsstavebné konštrukcieArticle
