This thesis has been carried out at the division of Wood Physics at Luleå University of Technology, Skellefteå (LTU). In communicating and introducing new technology and material experience show that demonstrating with real physical objects is very much effective. This is why this project has developed and realized a concept house made of heat treated wood in every visible detail. The project has been founded by an investment program within LTU towards entrepreneurialism and by an international cooperation in research and development within the EU founded Northern Periphery Program. As a direct result of the communicating and introducing of the heat treatment technology that this project has been part of has lead to an industrial build up of two separately production plants for heat treated wood. This thesis demonstrates the chosen solutions and experiences and knowledge gained from this development. Validerat; 20101217 (root)
