Constructing wood using mountain house plans can indeed be very interesting, considering all the advantages of this material: light, solid and flexible at the same time, it allows a fast assembly of the frame by dry way and this means a saving of time and economies on the workforce (self-assembly is sometimes even possible). In addition, the wood has a long-lasting resistance to both material and time-related shocks, and the longevity of the construction is also a source of future savings. The risk of fire is not superior to other materials, contrary to what one might believe. The wood also leaves a great architectural freedom and decoration.
From a thermal point of view, the wood construction can be considered seriously. For a small wall thickness, the thermal resistance is good because the insulation is in all the thickness of the wall (between the structural columns) in contrast to a block construction or the structural element already takes 20 cm of thickness without any insulation. Hygrometric comfort is also good because wood naturally regulates moisture.
Finally, wood is good for the environment. The ecological footprint of timber is low because plantations contribute to absorb the CO2 we produce, and because it is biodegradable.
