| |
|
Climate and weather very much influence the design and construction of building enclosure systems, especially roof systems and assemblies. While codes provide the minimum requirements for construction, few provisions focus on resilience.

| The growing demand for transparency in buildings |
| |
| As buildings become more complex and connected, the demand for building materials supporting high-performance facilities has also increased. This includes building controls, lighting, electrical and digital infrastructure, audio/visual (A/V), and other aspects of the structure. A high-performance building is one that “integrates and optimizes all major high-performance building attributes, including energy efficiency, durability, life-cycle performance, and occupant productivity.”

| SPECIFYING MASS TIMBER |
| I am curious where others are specifying mass timber products? To date we have utilized a few user-generated proprietary sections based on specific manufacturer templates for 06 15 43–Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and 06 19 10–Prefabricated Dowel-laminated Timber (DLT) decking. But we have also been looking at mass plywood panels (MPP) and nail-laminated timber (NLT) decks.
