For our research, woods were selected according to frequency of utilization in civil engineering branch.
Introduction Energy intensiveness of structures becomes one of the main aspects in a civil engineering design.
With regard to studied materials, one of the most often used representatives in civil engineering branch of natural materials is indisputably wood.
Since the specific heat capacity is most common in civil engineering, measured volumetric heat capacity were than recalculated.
Studied materials were chosen according its frequency of application in civil engineering branch, and Quercus robur, Larix decidua, Picea abies and Pinus sylvestris were selected timber for needs of this study.
