SUMMARY:Type III Construction of Exterior Walls: Detailing Practices & Code Options
DESCRIPTION:Regional Online Event (CA-North\, NV\, UT)\n\n\nThe trend toward larger mid-rise light-frame wood buildings has more designers seeking information on fire resistant detailing. This presentation will introduce Type III construction\, then focus on common detailing issues and areas of misunderstanding related to exterior walls and their intersection with rated floor assemblies. Grey areas in the code have led to a variety of detailing practices. However\, the upcoming 2024 International Building Code (IBC) clarifies Type III exterior wall intersection detailing allowances and explicitly allows for platform framed construction. These changes in the upcoming code will be reviewed\, along with allowable details to meet these specifications. The presentation will also cover potential ramifications of platform framing\, such as design considerations for wood shrinkage. \n  \nAttendees can Earn 2.0 AIA/CES LUs\, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.2 ICC credits \n  \nSpeaker: Chelsea Drenick\, SE | WoodWorks \n  \nOnline Attendees: \n\nWoodWorks will send each attendee a certificate of completion within 2 weeks via email.\nPlease note that to receive a certificate\, attendees must stay for the duration of the event.\n\n  \nFor questions or additional information\, please contact: \nJaime Krohn\, CMP | jaime@woodworks.org | (312) 841-8272 \n  \nImage: The Gibson / Hummel Architects / KPFF / photo Leo A.

SUMMARY:Designing & Building with Mass Timber + Redmond Center Tour
DESCRIPTION:Regional In-Person Seminar (Redmond\, WA)\n\n\nHow can architects\, engineers and contractors collaborate to meet the growing demand for mass timber buildings? While developers across the country are pursuing mass timber projects\, knowledge among AEC professionals is not yet widespread. Firms have varying degrees of familiarity with both the products and practicalities of designing\, sourcing\, and building a modern mass timber structure\, and early adopters continue to play a significant role in educating the rest of the community. This presentation seeks to build on this openness and environment of shared learning\, providing an overview of mass timber products\, planning\, design and implementation to maximize the benefits these buildings can deliver. We’ll also discuss why some mass timber projects face resistance\, and how to overcome misconceptions to achieve success. Topics will also include preconstruction coordination and interactions between the manufacturer and design/construction teams\, case-based approaches to costing and scheduling\, project delivery methods\, how to achieve the highest level of efficiency for costs\, schedule\, and performance\, and additional education and training opportunities. \nThis unique educational event will provide an in-depth look at Redmond Senior & Community Center\, a project that reflects years of work with the City of Redmond\, Washington to create a new space that meets the community’s needs. Designers of the two-story\, 40\,000-sf building utilized veneer-based CLT and glulam post-and-beam to create an equitable community space that includes multi-purpose rooms\, recreation areas\, a classroom\, and Kids Zone. Attendees will tour the site with members of the project team\, who will share strategies for successful\, code-compliant mass timber projects\, including insight on design\, detailing\, and construction techniques utilized throughout the building. The tour format encourages questions and discussion\, and attendees can expect to leave with insights on the project’s design\, execution\, and factors that influenced material and detail selection. \n  \nPlease join us after the tour for lunch. \n  \nSpeaker: Eric Gu\, PhD\, PE\, LEED Green Associate | WoodWorks \n  \nAttendees can Earn 2.0 AIA/CES HSW LUs\, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.2 ICC credits \n  \nLocation: \nRedmond Senior & Community Center (free parking) \n8703 160th Ave NE \nRed Oak Community Room 139 \nRedmond\, WA 98052 \n  \nFor questions or additional information\, please contact: \nJaime Krohn\, CMP | jaime@woodworks.org | (312) 841-8272 \n  \nImage: Redmond Senior and Community Center / Opsis Architecture / Lund Opsahl / Rendering courtesy Opsis Architecture

SUMMARY:Mass Timber Sustainability: Making a Case for Developers and Owners
DESCRIPTION:Regional In-Person Seminar (Austin\, TX)\n\n\nWould you like to pitch sustainable mass timber to a client? Are you wondering how mass timber might pencil in a project pro forma? If so\, this presentation will provide insight on completing the value proposition for developers and owners. The aesthetic differentiation and biophilic benefits of mass timber have broad appeal to a wide range of stakeholders\, from end users to ESG-investors. Professionals hoping to influence decisions to use mass timber will learn how this appeal can translate to return on investment in an overview of initial findings from WoodWorks’ Mass Timber Business Case Study series\, written for the developer/owner/investor audience. This presentation will provide an overview of the case study series highlighting key takeaways. Developers/owners\, architects\, engineers and builders will all learn how mass timber can create value. \nOpportunities for the built environment to help address carbon-related issues are at the forefront of discussions within the building design and construction community. The spotlight once held by operational energy efficiency has shifted to material choice and embodied carbon—and\, in particular\, which building products should be specified to achieve a more sustainable structure. This course takes a brief look at the use of wood products in construction and their ability to store carbon long term. It will also consider common questions related to the sustainable management of North American forests from which these products are sourced. \n  \nPlease join us after the seminar for a networking happy hour. \n  \nSpeaker: Mark Bartlett\, PE | WoodWorks \n  \nAttendees can Earn 2.0 AIA/CES HSW LUs\, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.2 ICC credits \n  \nLocation: \nHotel Magdalena\n1101 Music Lane\, Austin\, TX 78704 \nMain Event Space \n  \nEvent Parking Options: $20 hotel valet\, parking garage right across from the hotel on Music Lane\, or any first come first serve street parking on Congress or Academy Dr. \n  \nFor questions or additional information\, please contact: \nJaime Krohn\, CMP | jaime@woodworks.org | (312) 841-8272 \n  \nImage: The Canyons / Kaiser+Path / Cantena Consulting Engineers / Photo Jeremy Bittermann

SUMMARY:Demystifying Timber Construction Types
DESCRIPTION:Regional In-Person Seminar (Denver\, CO)\n\n\nMid-Rise Design: Optimizing Size\, Maximizing Value   \nAs cities seek increased density as a way to address urban population growth\, many building designers and developers are looking to mid-rise wood construction as a cost-effective\, code-compliant and sustainable solution. This presentation will cover some of the design considerations associated with mid-rise wood-frame buildings\, including how to maximize height and area through the use of sprinklers\, open frontage\, sloping sites\, podiums and mezzanines. Construction types will be reviewed\, with an emphasis on opportunities for wood use in types III and V. \nMid-Rise Mass Timber: Navigating Construction Type Selection  \nOpportunities for using mass timber construction for new building projects have never been greater now that the International Building Code (IBC) allows up to 18 stories of these materials. However\, with expanded code options\, selecting the right construction type is crucial to making a project pencil. This course focuses on mid-rise mass timber construction\, highlighting examples in the five- to eight-story range—including office\, mixed-use\, and multi-family projects. Discussion will help to inform decisions on how to incorporate mass timber based on a project’s intended height\, area\, and occupancies. The presentation will also cover decisions that need to be made early in the design process\, including grid layout\, approach to achieving fire ratings\, and lateral system selection. \nPlease join us after the seminar for a networking happy hour. \n  \nSpeaker: Emmy Hoa Tran\, PE | WoodWorks \n  \nCredits: Attendees can Earn 2.0 AIA/CES HSW LUs\, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.2 ICC credits \n  \nLocation: \nBurwell Center for Career Achievement \n2190 E Asbury Ave\, Denver\, CO 80210 \nRoom #340 \nParking Options: Transpo Options.pdf \n  \nFor questions or additional information\, please contact: \nJaime Krohn\, CMP | jaime@woodworks.org | (312) 841-8272 \n  \nImage: University of Denver Burwell Center for Career Achievement / Lake|Flato Architects / Shears Adkins Rockmore Architects / KL&A Engineers and Builders / Photo Frank Ooms
