Scaling the Construction Sector

Written By Maaike Goedkoop

SYNTHESIS

We will simulate future wood market scenarios to estimate material supply and demands. We use Agent-Based Models (ABM) to design and simulate the future development of the Swiss wood construction sector. ABM provides a bottom-up approach to describe highly complex systems by assessing the influence of socio-economic factors on the development of the wood construction sector.
