Wood-based construction is a rapidly growing branch of construction in theworld, it is slightlyworse on the Polish field. In the era of care for the environment, it is important that newly constructed building objects, including buildings, not only use as little energy as possible, but also be made of materials received as ecological. Wood-based construction combines both of these aspects. There are, however, two other market aspects: price and availability of materials and technological solutions. Wooden buildings are more environmentally and human friendly than othermaterial solutions, and with proper insulation, finishing and well-chosen installation systems, they can also be tempted to become a zero-energy building, i.e. one whose energy balance is zero per year. This article attempts to present the topic in a synthetic way, outlining global trends and possibilities of the Polish wood-based construction market.
