SUMMARY:Coast to Coast: Tall Timber Code and Design in California and New York
DESCRIPTION:Regional Online Seminar (CA-North\, NV\, UT\, NY)\n\n\nWith adoption of tall timber provisions in the 2021 International Building Code\, jurisdictions across the U.S. now permit mass timber buildings up to 18 stories\, though implementation varies by region. California and New York have adopted these provisions with state and local amendments that directly influence design strategy\, detailing\, and coordination. This bi-coastal presentation provides an overview of tall timber code pathways and key design considerations. It also compares provisions in the California Building Code and New York State Building Code. Key topics include construction types\, height and area limits\, fire-resistance requirements\, and timber exposure allowances. The session will examine design considerations for tall timber buildings\, including structural systems\, fire performance\, and regional factors such as seismic demands in California and weather protection in New York. Built project examples will be shared for inspiration and to highlight opportunities unique to tall timber construction. Attendees will gain practical insight into navigating tall timber code requirements and identifying issues to address early in design to support more informed project development. \nSeminar begins at 10:00am PT and 1:00pm ET. \n  \nSpeakers: Chelsea Drenick\, SE and Momo Sun\, PE\, P.Eng.\, LEED Green Associate | WoodWorks \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 1.5 AIA/CES HSW LUs\, 1.5 PDH credits or 0.15 ICC credits for the seminar \n  \nOnline Attendees: \n\nWoodWorks will send each attendee a certificate of completion within 2 weeks via email.\nPlease note that to receive a certificate\, attendees must stay for the duration of the event.\n\n  \nFor questions or additional information\, please contact: \nLeeAnn Charpentier\, CMP | leeann.charpentier@woodworks.org | (301) 633-0330 \n  \nImage: 1510 Webster / oWOW / DCI Engineers / Photo Andrew Nelson

SUMMARY:Mass Timber Strategies for High-Performance Affordable Housing 
DESCRIPTION:National Online Seminar\nThis course examines how hybrid mass timber systems can support resilient multi-family affordable housing. Attendees will review design and construction approaches used to meet high-performance building goals\, including Zero Carbon Certification (by Living Future) and Passive House certification strategies\, hybrid structural systems\, panel optimization\, acoustic assemblies\, and coordination with local trades and project teams. The course will also examine how mass timber contributes to durability\, biophilic design\, healthy indoor environments\, and reduced embodied carbon in residential construction. \nThrough real-world project examples\, participants will gain practical insight into applying mass timber systems to improve building performance and address the growing demand for sustainable workforce housing. \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 1.0 AIA/CES HSW LU\, 1.0 PDH credit or 0.10 ICC credit \n  \nBonus content – Bonus content – attendees are invited to stay after the webinar for a non-accredited bonus session featuring WoodWorks Partner Sterling Structural for a manufacturer Q&A. Learn more about their products and services and how they can be a resource on your next project.  \n  \n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\nScott & Molly Cutler\, Cutler Development \nCutler Development is a Des Moines-based commercial real estate firm led by Scott and Molly Cutler\, focusing on urban infill and mixed-use projects in walkable areas served by mass transit\, with a commitment to sustainability and affordable housing. They have completed two mass timber projects to date—Junction Lofts and Star Lofts. Both projects include units set aside for residents earning 30-80% of the Area Median Income and Star Lofts is slated to achieve Zero Carbon Certification by the International Living Future Institute (ILFI). They are currently working on two more mass timber projects: A low carbon\, 20-unit affordable\, for-sale townhome project\, and Goldfrinch Lofts\, a mass timber/light-frame hybrid project set to be the first Zero Carbon Certified (by ILFI) Low-Income Housing Tax Credit project in the country. \n\n\n\n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExamine how hybrid mass timber and conventional wood framing systems can be integrated to support structural performance\, durability\, fire protection\, and occupant well-being in multi-family housing projects.\nDiscuss the sustainability benefits of mass timber\, including embodied carbon reduction and life cycle impacts\, and why it matters.\nEvaluate how design approaches such as panel optimization\, acoustic assemblies\, and coordinated trade integration contribute to constructability\, building performance\, and occupant comfort.\nApply lessons from real-world workforce housing developments to support resilient\, code-compliant\, and sustainable multi-family building design\n\n  \nOnline Attendees: \n\nWoodWorks will send each attendee a certificate of completion within 2 weeks via email.\nPlease note that to receive a certificate\, attendees must stay for the duration of the event.\n\n  \nFor questions or additional information\, please contact: \nMary Schramka | mary.schramka@woodworks.org | 708.204.9578 \n  \nImage: Star Lofts / ID8 Architects / KPFF / Brent Isenberger Photography
