**4. Conclusions**

Wood is a natural building material that, when used in construction elements, can simultaneously fulfill the structural and esthetic function. Its use in the building sector allows it to simultaneously satisfy the aspects of environmental, economic, and social sustainability, especially when it is accompanied by implementation of short supply chain processes that allow the use of local wood and processes for controlling the sustainable management of forests that avoid deforestation and the impoverishment of the territories.

In the current context of implementing strategies to combat climate change and in general to protect the environment, the characteristics of this material and its qualities suggest giving impetus to its use in highly polluting sectors such as construction.
