Abstract
The paper presents the thermophysical analysis of two types of the wall system made of heat-insulated glued laminated timbers with connectors comprised of water-resisting multilayer plywood. The paper describes a novel timber configuration, which reduces the weight of one square meter area by 55% compared with an ordinary timber having a cross-section of 0.21 m × 0.21 m and saves not less than 60% of wood. The latter is highly relevant because forests remove carbon dioxide emissions from the atmosphere; reducing the use of wood in construction is of great importance for ecology. The ANSYS finite element program is used for calculating temperature fields and heat fluxes. It is found that one connector affects not more than 0.2 m of the exterior wall length in relation to the temperature and heat flux fields, whereas the heat loss increase is not over 0.44%.
