SEMINAR DESCRIPTION:
Worldwide, theres a trend toward the construction of taller wood buildings including the four / five-story wood buildings now common throughout the United States. This growth of timber building is pushing the code allowable height limitations. Advances in engineering, like cross-laminated timber (CLT), is making large wooden skyscrapers possible. As example, a timber office tower is coming to London, a wooden residential complex is being built in Montreal, and Stockholm is planning a 40-story CLT skyscraper.
This trend is being driven to a large degree by cost, with a cost saving usually in the range of 15% - 20%. While material prices fluctuate, wood almost always costs less. Plus, wood construction is fast and woods relative light weight reduces demand on the foundation design.  At the same time, wood offers other benefits. Wood buildings are safe. Wood buildings are versatile and adaptable. Innovative technologies continue to expand the possibilities for taller walls, longer spans and higher wood buildings. And wood is inherently green. Its renewable and sustainable, contributes to a buildings energy efficiency, and can be used as a low-carbon alternative to steel, concrete and masonry in many mid-rise applications.
The growing demand for wood construction mid-rise buildings, including apartments and condominiums, senior living, affordable, and mixed-use commercial/residential developments, creates both challenge and opportunity for building professionals as they work to balance value with performance. Wood-frame construction is a cost-effective option for mid-rise structures because it allows high density (five stories for many residential occupancy groups, six for office) at relatively low cost, while providing other benefits such as construction speed, structural performance, design versatility and a sustainable, low-carbon footprint.

It is noted that building codes require all building systems to perform to the same level of safety, regardless of material used, and wood meets code for a range of mid-rise building types. Wood-frame buildings are also lighter and have more repetition and ductility than other structures, which means they perform well during earthquakes and high wind events.

More than with other types of construction, the structural detailing of mid-rise wood buildings plays a large role in the ability to manage investment costs per unit and maximize the lot configuration. Several common structural design challenges are also under consideration, including those related to fire safety, shrinkage and constructability.

All too commonly, the exterior envelope of todays mid-rise commercial and multi-family/mixed use wood-framed buildings experience unnecessary problems with water infiltration. This infiltration often results in damaged interior finishes, mold growth, and hidden deterioration leading to significant repair and legal costs, owner disruption, lost revenues, and wounded reputations.
