Holz von Hier supports you in the development of tailor-made timber construction or climate protection funding programs for your municipality, with a special focus on the consideration of upstream chains and gray energy.

Procurement guidelines per wood and climate
Low Carbon Timber (LCT/HVH) & partners
You don't have any procurement guidelines for wood products yet? HVH supports you in the development of specific guidelines for your community as an effective control instrument for optimized climate and environmental protection in the upstream chains, origin of the wood and regional value creation. We place the special focus here on comprehensive and realistic life cycle considerations. With the climate-optimized upstream chains, you can reduce the CO2 emissions of procured products to a minimum.
RED II/III and municipalities
Low Carbon Timber (LCT/HVH) & partners
Advice on environmentally friendly procurement of renewable energy from biomass under RED-II. Assistance in market research. Proof of origin according to RED-II, which also rewards the short distances for biomass, will be important. Do you want wood pellets from Russia, Canada? Wood chips from Congo or Vietnam?

design box
office furniture
Low Carbon Timber (LCT/HVH) & partners
Office furniture made of solid wood with sawn timber from local sawmills instead of coated chipboard or plywood panels for furniture construction from Asia? Which municipal decision-maker would not want that for environmental reasons alone? But is that also possible at a comparable purchase price? What role do follow-up costs play here? Does "whoever buys 2x buys more expensive" also apply here? Find out with us how beautiful, healthy and representative your offices can be.
