What is Green Carpentry?

Everyone knows that carpentry services in mumbai is the practice of cutting and shaping wood primarily used for commercial purposes. However, in order to acquire this wood, many trees may have to be cut down and killed. Not only does this cause several changes in the environment, but also leaves several living creatures homeless and left for dead. This practice drastically messes with the ecosystems of various areas and leads to global problems such as climate change, and global warming. Now in order to prevent this calamity, or at the very least slow the process down, we can adopt a sustainable approach to the use of wood, construct our homes more efficiently.

In other words, Green carpentry is the specialization in the use of environmentally friendly, energy efficient and sustainable sources of resources for construction projects. They also practice building methods that require using fewer materials and using material that has a corresponding structural reliability.

What are some of the best methods used in order to adopt green farming?

1.   The implementation of Advanced Framing Techniques, which is the utilization of less wood to perform the same function

2.   If available, use reclaimed lumber to avoid wastage

3.   The use of engineered lumber in place of regular sawn lumber

4.   Usage of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC), which has been chemically expanded and then steam cured, giving it a higher insulating value than regular concrete.

5.   The use of wood certified by the FSC

What are Advanced Framing Techniques?

During the 1970 energy crisis studies were conducted by the National Association of Home Builder's Research Foundation, to identify the structural configuration that was necessary to maintain superior strength and allow the maximum insulation in wall cavities to improve energy efficiency. The result was known as "Optimal Value Engineering" (OVE).

Some pros and cons include:

Advantages:

-          Lower material and labour costs

-          Environmental advantages

-          More efficiently built

-          Reduction in thermal bridging

-          Increase in insulation and hence lower energy costs

-          Fewer drywall problems like nail pops and cracking

Disadvantages:
