Short description
Low-carbon building demands are expected to increase remarkably in the near future. This trend creates remarkable opportunity for the South Savo region to increase knowhow, specialized R&D and business development based on innovative use of biomaterials in the building sector. The development of wood and hybrid materials in building industry is developing rapidly and this increases the demand for the research and testing facilities. The massive wood and hybrid building environment for physical, climate and energy efficient testing purposes will be implemented in Savonlinna technology park operated by South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences. The facility will be used in university and industrial co-operation in the field of knowhow development and testing of innovative materials structures. As a result, regional smart specialization, technical infrastructures, and competence deepens. Regional actors will strengthen their position in the growing low-carbon building sector. Therefore, the purpose of the acquisition is to obtain a walk-in climatic chamber.
