SUMMARY:Mass Timber Moisture Monitoring and Simulation:  A Marine Climate Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Technical Dinner Meeting: 10\, July\, 2024\n\n\n\nSynopsis:\n\n\nMass timber is an emerging structural technology with both environmental and architectural benefits. Aggressive moisture protection of mass timber products is generally recommended during installation but can result in significant cost and coordination challenges for builders. Field measurement of wetting and drying of mass timber on built projects is limited in North America. \nThis presentation will share moisture data taken during a wet winter in the Pacific Northwest during the construction of a six-story\, multi-family\, Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) building. We will present a comparison of our field data to corresponding hygrothermal analysis\, as well as our Moisture Protection Plan and Moisture Mitigation Plan. \n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n1. Understanding the background of CLT and how it is currently used; \n2. Understanding the analysis of moisture content readings correlated to weather conditions from this case study; \n3. Understanding the significance of our findings; and \n4. Learning how to strategize mass timber project assembly in wet climates for best value and outcomes. \nMeet Your Presenter:\n\nBrad is a Principal with 4EA Building Science in Seattle. As an engineer and building scientist\, Brad has been specializing in the design of durable and energy efficient building enclosures for nearly two decades. Throughout North America\, Brad has consulted on a wide array of different project types and sectors\, including high rises\, healthcare facilities\, cultural institutions\, workspaces\, affordable housing\, and historic landmarks. Much of his current work focuses on the intersection between decarbonization and housing affordability in the built environment.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Today!\nTabletop Sponsorship Opportunity | Bar Sponsorship | Event Flyer
