Performance of bio-based building materials COST Action no. FP1303 Performance of bio-based building materials Forests, their Products and Services (FPS) Participating countries: AT, BE, BG, CH, DE, DK, EE, EL, ES, FI, FR, IE, IT, LT, LV, NL, NO, PL, PT, RO, SI, SE, SK, TU, UK 22 October 2013  21 October 2017 Contact details Proposer / Chair of the Action Dr Dennis Jones Project Manager, SP Wood Technology, Sweden dennis.jones@sp.se Science Officer Science Officer Forests, their Products and Services COST Office fatima.bouchama@cost.eu Website: http://www.costfp1303.com Background The development of building materials incorporating bio-based materials is also an area of rapid development. As well as solid timber, wood-fibres and other materials, such as bamboo, miscanthus, phragmites, and other gramineae are now being used for structural purposes as well as for roofing and cladding. However, whenever and wherever organic material is exposed to favorable moisture and temperature conditions as well as to degrading organisms its functional and aesthetic service life might get negatively affected. There is a need to establish better links between research and industry in understanding the issues affecting the performance of bio-based materials in construction, and what factors can help address avoiding issues around moisture entrapment in modern buildings. This COST action will provide the platform demanded by industry, academia and end-users for scientific exchange and collaboration and help identify where key activities need to be undertaken in future collaborative programmes between participants. Working Group 1: Material capability and enhancement Achieving a better fundamental understanding of substrate decay organism interactions Aspects of rot, staining and fungi Factors related to degradation Understanding role of gene expression Protection and remediation programmes Working Group 2: Functionality and performance Identifying aspects of building physics Increasing understanding of solid materials / fibres and moisture Assessing and developing service life models Modelling performance of materials Considering link between models and building performance Working Group 3: Adaptation and application Linking preferences of end users with those of manufacturers Life cycle methods, EPD and CE certification How to promote the benefits of bio-based materials Greater environmental awareness Common agreement on performance for stake-holders Better advice for supplier and end-users Training school on cladding installation (courtesy of WoodKnowledge Wales, UK) Poor maintenance can affect performance (courtesy of SP, SE)
