Wienwood Prize 2015

As I mentioned when I was describing activities and locations of Pro Holz, there is no branch of ProHolz in Wien. Instead of ProHolz, there is Wienwood. Anyway it works under ProHolz, so it is like a part of it. It is also possible that I am wrong, because every region has its own ProHolz page, but proholz.at is general one...maybe for Wien.

proHolz Austria - Association of the Austrian wood industry

Mainly interests of proHolz are the marketing activities for a wooden products and increase of its use. It has local offices in 7 regions of Austria except of Vorarlberg and Wien.

ÖNORM EN 350-2 and Austrian standards

There are eco standards in Austria. Yes, I have never heard about something like that in Slovakia. I think this could be an interesting topic to investigate for a while. Especially general WHY it is needed and HOW it is implemented into practical use.
For example, at the title mentioned ONORM EN 350-2, it considering "Durability of wood and wood-based products - Natural durability of solid wood"[1]
