JAUE2024-046: Environmental Performance Evaluation of Wooden Containers Using Nail Laminated Timber (NLT)

Abstract

In order to expand the possibilities of utilizing wood in buildings, this study focused on Nail Laminated Timber (NLT), a type of laminated wood, and conducted full-scale measurements and simulations of containers made of NLT for floors, roofs, and walls. The container-type structure is relatively easy to move and set up, and its expandability through multiple use makes it possible to use it for a wide range of purposes. The thermal environment of the NLT container was clarified by measuring temperature and humidity fluctuations in summer, Intermediate Season, and winter, as well as surface temperature fluctuations on the outdoor and indoor sides of the container. The thermal environment of NLT containers was clarified by actual measurements, and the simulations showed that NLT containers can be used for various purposes by considering the thickness of the NLT used in the container and the combination with insulation materials.
