Abstract
Beside the reduction of greenhouse gas emission the adsorption and bounding of carbon dioxide is also an important issue to protect the environment from irreversible harms. By photosynthesis produced wood material mostly built up from the CO2 content of the atmosphere and it is stored until burning or natural decay of the material. Log homes sequester significant amount of wood for longer time and the amount in cubic meter and the carbon dioxide equivalence were examined in this case study. Wood content of 80 log homes were investigated and the average of 35.28 m3 was found. The average stored carbon dioxide per log homes was 31 tons, and there is slight difference between one and two storied buildings 0.214 and 0.284 tons of equivalent carbon dioxide per layout square meter respectively. The ceiling height influences the wood content of the building significantly and the variation is higher in the case of two-storied buildings.
