Abstract
Two building materials have been introduced at the end of XIX century - steel and concrete. They replaced traditional and locally produced structural materials, especially wood. According to the latest research, steel and concrete represent 3% and over 5% of human green-house emissions on Earth, respectively. 8% of the entire human gas emissions come from these two materials only. The article presents construction systems that combine traditional sustainable material (wood) with modern material (concrete). Hybrid solutions such as timber-concrete composites (TCC) become more and more common type of technology. The combination of high concrete compressive strength and wood tensile strength gives good results, especially in the case of floor slabs. This technology is often used in the buildings with engineered wood structure. The research presents solutions that introduce such a hybrid solution to other partitions of the building. An analysis was made in terms of the problems that may arise and the advantages that this solution can bring, mainly in terms of energy efficiency and environmental impact.
