Peter Koch presented a paper, "Wood versus nonwood materials in U.S.
residential construction: some energy related global implications" at the
1991 Proceedings of an International Conference Sponsored by the Forest
Products Research Society, held in Vancouver, British Columbia.  He
quantifies  energy consumption and carbon dioxide additions to the the
atmosphere that result from the use of wood substitutes such as steel,
concrete, brick, aluminium, and plastic.  The article was reprinted in the
Forest Products Journal 42(5):31-42.
