ABSTRACT
In the paper there were characterized log buildings and skeletal wooden buildings. Presented building technologies are based on the wooden elements. We discussed the use of modern insulating materials in wooden buildings and presented technologies that allow to build wooden buildings with parameters for energy efficient and passive buildings. The analysis shows that the optimal variant for wooden energy efficient and passive building is construction based on a lightweight timber frame.
