Topic: The World's Tallest Wood Building Almost Complete at UBC - A Look Inside the Envelope
In recent years, building codes have been updated to allow for the construction of mid-rise wood-frame buildings of up to five and six storeys in height. The construction of these taller wood-frame buildings has continued to evolve, and wood-design and construction practices have adapted for these taller buildings. Further to this industry shift, the design and construction of high-rise wood buildings of up to 18 storeys is also currently underway in Canada and other parts of the world. These high-rise wood buildings utilize new mass timber elements and engineered wood products and are a departure from traditional light-framing practices commonly used today.
This presentation will provide guidance for the design of building enclosures for mid to high-rise wood buildings. Taking an in-depth look at the latest industry best practices, this presentation will expand on:
- Lessons learned and industry best practices for the design and detailing of durable and energy efficient larger wood buildings in the Pacific Northwest;
- The techniques and methods to construct taller wood building enclosures and how they differ from mid-rise structures;
- Insights into the building enclosure design of several recently constructed mid-rise to high-rise wood buildings including the 18-storey UBC Brock Commons tall wood project in Vancouver, BC.
