Slovenia pursues the goal of the largest possible share of new construction with the highest possible share of wood and wood products. For this purpose, the Regulation on Green Public Procurement has also been adopted, with which the state aims to increase the use of wood and generate examples of good practice that will also be followed in the private sector. In this sense, it is important to know the examples and development of quality construction with wood, smart, technologically, energetically and ecologically advanced buildings. Expert tours of reference examples of wooden construction buildings abroad help to better understand innovative examples of wood construction technology and architecture.

In this context, a study tour of innovative wooden public buildings in Styria and Carinthia, Austria was organized on 16th and 17th of October 2024.

More than 40 architects, civil engineers, timber companies and representatives of public institutions took part in the study tour.
