Building Envelope Guidelines for Mass Timberbuilding Envelope Guidelines for Mass Timber
This live presentation will cover mass timber moisture protection strategies, the building science of mass timber, rainscreen design, and mass timber building enclosure assembly details. As interest in cross-laminated timber (CLT) buildings grows, the market for building enclosure products as a whole has yet to fully provide the water-resistant barriers, vapor retarders, and air barriers to optimally support the unique characteristics of wood. Furthermore, there are few building enclosure design guides specific to detailing wood-framed walls and roofs. This comprehensive course fills the gaps, providing detailed information on mass timber, building enclosure issues, the vapor-permeable technology available to address wood’s unique moisture characteristics, and a how-to guide on detailing the walls and roof of the enclosure.
