A wooden facade system of pine has been developed, adapted for buildings up to eight stories in an urban environment in terms of requirements for fire safety, aesthetic design and service life. The façade system consisting of individual elements mounted on a frame that provides added economical value but also in terms of environmental aspects. Therefore, the design has considered the possibility of recuse and circularity avoiding metal and adhesives but also the choice of raw material. Verification of the facade system’s functions has been done through lab tests and by montage of the facade system on two timber buildings in Luleå, Sweden from April 2020 (Berggren et al., 2020). Reported in this article is the performance of the system during montage and operation phase by interviews, photos, measuring moisture con-tent (MC) and deformation of the wooden façade-systems by terrestrial laser scanning.
