Thun is the site of the first apartment building with a basement made entirely
made of wood. Houses without heating and without air conditioning make an important
contribution to climate protection. An even greater potential for energy saving lies in the choice of

Wood is already widely used in building construction. The
next step is to dispense with building materials that are harmful to the climate, such as steel
and concrete - even in basements and floor slabs. So that basements can be
be mass-produced from wood, a number of research questions need to be clarified.
