Steel and timber structures constitute a construction technology which holds significant potential in terms of sustainability and are therefore selected as sustainable solutions for the construction of housing, commercial or other types of building projects. This paper consists of two parts. Firstly, to quantify the sustainability potential of timber and steel construction by calculating the environmental impact caused throughout the life cycle of a steel-framed residential building and a timber building. The calculation has been extended with the usage of fuzzy variables that represent uncertainty of the various parameters involved.
