5 Facts from the Sweden Pavilion Website below
- The Swedish Pavilion to Expo 2020 in Dubai is situated in the Sustainability District
- For the first time ever a sustainable building completely in timber is erected in the UAE.
- Approximately 2,600 cubic meters of timber has been used for the structure. Approximately half of it in the substructure.
- Every cubic meter of spruce timber, weighing approximately half a tonne, contains the carbon from almost 900 kg of CO2 (and the O2, the oxygen, now in the atmosphere.)
- A comparable structure in reinforced concrete would create a CO2 footprint of around 1,200 tonnes. The net effect of “The Forest” as a timber building compared to a concrete structure is somewhere between 3,000 and 3,500 tonnes less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
