SUMMARY:Designing and Building with Mass Timber: Design\, Planning and Performance
DESCRIPTION:Regional In-Person Seminar + Lunch (Garden City\, NY)\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. \nWe’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. \n  \nCredit: Attendees can earn 1.0 AIA/CES HSW LU\, 1.0 PDH credit or 0.10 ICC credit \n  \nSpeaker: \n \n  \nMomo Sun\, PE\, P.Eng.\, Regional Director | WoodWorks \nMomo is passionate about building sustainable structures and enjoys helping developers and design teams find elegant wood solutions that are also cost-effective.

SUMMARY:Building Bigger with Light-Frame: Heights\, Areas and Critical Details
DESCRIPTION:Regional Online Seminar (CA-North\, NV\, UT)\n\n\nGetting the most out of light-frame wood construction requires thoughtful code decisions at both the building and detail scale. This presentation will explore opportunities to maximize the size and density of light-frame wood buildings\, with a focus on Type III and Type V construction and underutilized code provisions that can allow these construction types to go taller. Topics will include allowable building height and area\, sprinklers\, frontage\, podiums\, and other strategies for maximizing what can be achieved with light-frame wood construction. From there\, the discussion will shift to common design and permitting challenges\, with a focus on interior and exterior wall assemblies. Topics will include firewalls\, fire barriers and fire partitions\, exterior wall requirements\, fire-resistance continuity\, and intersections between rated assemblies and structure. \n  \nSpeaker: \n \nChelsea Drenick\, SE | WoodWorks \nChelsea is a licensed structural engineer in the state of California.

SUMMARY:Building Taller: Reaching Six Stories with Light-Frame Wood
DESCRIPTION:Building Taller: Reaching Six Stories with Light-Frame Wood \nSix-story light-frame wood construction can provide opportunities to increase density in mid-rise buildings\, but maximizing building height while meeting code\, structural\, fire-resistance\, and constructability requirements requires careful coordination across the project team. This presentation will examine the design and construction of six-story light-frame wood buildings\, including building code considerations and structural strategies that make taller light-frame construction possible. Through project examples\, attendees will explore approaches to framing\, prefabrication\, integration of mass timber and light-frame systems\, and coordination of building services. The presentation will also highlight lessons learned through design and construction and how collaboration among architects\, engineers\, contractors\, and fabricators can improve constructability and building performance. \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 1.0 AIA/CES HSW LU\, 1.0 PDH credit or 0.10 ICC credit \n  \n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\nJoseph Mayo\, AIA\, LEED AP | Associate Principal Mahlum Architects Inc. \nJoe Mayo is a Seattle architect at Mahlum and author of Solid Wood: Mass Timber Architecture\, Technology and Design\, the first English-language book focused exclusively on institutional mass timber buildings. A leader in low-carbon\, biophilic design\, he has contributed to more than a dozen mass timber projects and helped advance mass timber through code development and federally funded research. Over nearly two decades of practice\, Joe has designed a wide range of academic and multi–family housing projects utilizing light wood framing\, demonstrating how wood construction can deliver cost-effective\, durable\, and low-carbon solutions for housing\, education\, and community infrastructure. His work explores how both mass timber and light wood framing can expand the use of wood as a high-performance\, sustainable building material in the built environment. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nCamie Mamer\, P.E.\, DBIA  | Structural Project Manager\, Coughlin Porter Lundee \nWith 10 years at Coughlin Porter Lundeen\, Camie serves as a Structural Project Manager\, leading structural engineering efforts across a diverse portfolio of design-build and higher education projects.
