WI-SCORE v1.0.0 · open method

The Global WoodIntel Score.

Six dimensions, one open formula each, no weighting. Four are derived from standardised inputs; two are rule-based estimates whose rules are printed in full. Nothing here is a recommendation.

How to use this page

Pick the one thing your project is actually constrained by — durability, carbon, maintenance, fire, circularity or sourcing — sort by it, and read the top of the list. The composite is only an unweighted average; it is not a ranking of "best wood".

What the six dimensions meanOne question per dimension
Durability
How long does it last, averaged over the modelled climate zones?
Carbon
How much biogenic carbon does one cubic metre store?
Maintenance
How long between maintenance interventions?
Fire performance
How slowly does the section char under the standard fire curve?
Circularity
How recoverable is the material at end of life?
Sourcing & biodiversity
What is the sourcing and biodiversity risk of the supply chain?

How to read this

The composite is the unweighted mean of the six sub-scores. It is unweighted on purpose: any weighting encodes a project priority, and that decision belongs to the specifier. Sort by the dimension your project is actually constrained by.

Durability, maintenance, carbon and fire are derived from WI-INDEX v1.0.0 (generated 2026-08-03) and from EN 16449, EN 1995-1-2 and EN 13501-1. Circularity and sourcing are rule-based estimates; their rules are printed above so you can disagree with a specific rule rather than with the number. Scores are comparative, not absolute, and are not a substitute for project-specific assessment.
