SUMMARY:A New Path for Mass Timber Construction: Code Provisions & Design Steps
DESCRIPTION:Regional Online Seminar (PA & NJ)\n\n\nWe are at an exciting confluence in timber construction. The need for sustainable\, urban construction has never been higher. Concurrently\, mass timber products such as cross-laminated timber have opened the door to many new opportunities for construction\, one of which is tall wood. In January 2019\, the International Code Council (ICC) approved a set of proposals to allow tall wood buildings of up to 18 stories as part of the 2021 International Building Code (IBC). This presentation will introduce the new tall wood code provisions in depth. Starting with a review of the technical research and testing that supported their adoption\, it will then take a detailed look at the new code provisions and methods of addressing the new requirements. Topics will include fire-resistance ratings and allowances for exposed timber\, penetrations\, sprinklers\, connections\, exterior walls and much more. Designers can expect to take away the knowledge they need to start exploring tall wood designs on their projects. \n  \nHost: Shannon Williams\, PE | WoodWorks \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 2.0 AIA/CES HSW LUs\, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.2 ICC credits \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: Edelman Fossil Park & Museum of Rowan University / Courtesy of Edelman Fossil Park & Musesum of Rowan University / Western Archrib / Ennead ARchitects

SUMMARY:A Path Forward for Tall Wood Construction: Code Provisions & Design Steps
DESCRIPTION:Regional Online Seminar (TX )\n\n\nWe are at an exciting confluence in timber construction. The need for sustainable\, urban construction has never been higher. Concurrently\, mass timber products such as cross-laminated timber have opened the door to many new opportunities for construction\, one of which is tall wood. In January 2019\, the International Code Council (ICC) approved a set of proposals to allow tall wood buildings of up to 18 stories as part of the 2021 International Building Code (IBC). This presentation will introduce the new tall wood code provisions in depth. Starting with a review of the technical research and testing that supported their adoption\, it will then take a detailed look at the new code provisions and methods of addressing the new requirements. Topics will include fire-resistance ratings and allowances for exposed timber\, penetrations\, sprinklers\, connections\, exterior walls and much more. Designers can expect to take away the knowledge they need to start exploring tall wood designs on their projects.  \nAustin has adopted the 2024 International Building Code (IBC)\, which includes provisions allowing for more exposed wood in Type IV-B buildings. Specifically\, the 2024 IBC permits 100% exposed timber ceilings in Type IV-B construction\, a significant increase from the 20% allowance in the 2021 IBC. This change\, based on fire testing results\, provides more design flexibility while still requiring careful planning to meet fire resistance standards. Austin’s adoption of the 2024 codes\, including the IBC\, took effect on July 10\, 2025. \n  \nSpeaker: Mark Bartlett\, PE | WoodWorks \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 2.0 AIA/CES HSW LUs\, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.2 ICC credits \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: \nJaime Krohn\, CMP | jaime@woodworks.org | (312) 841-8272 \n  \nImage credit: City of Cedar Park \n**This is not a City of Cedar Park or Library sponsored event.

SUMMARY:Realizing Mass Timber’s Benefits: Key Design Decisions and Carbon Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Regional Online Seminar (DC\, DE\, MD\, VA\, WV)\n\n\nAs interest in and use of mass timber in the U.S. has grown\, so too has interest in pushing these timber structures to greater heights. Using international examples of successful tall wood buildings as precedent\, some designers have proposed tall wood projects in the states using a project-specific performance-based design approach. In order to provide a uniform set of code provisions for these tall wood buildings\, the International Code Council established an ad hoc committee on tall wood buildings that proposed a set of code changes allowing up to 18 stories of mass timber construction. Those code changes were announced as approved in January 2019 and will become part of the 2021 International Building Code.

SUMMARY:Mass Timber: Early Design Decisions & Tall Wood Code Provisions
DESCRIPTION:Regional Online (KS\, AR\, MO\, OK)\n\n\nEarly Design Decisions: Priming Mass Timber Projects for Success \nMass timber is a unique\, non-commodity building material and\, to lay the groundwork for success\, certain critical decisions must be made as early as possible. These decisions can have a big impact on cost and can either increase or limit opportunities later in design. There are many cases of project teams that want to realize the full benefits of mass timber\, but\, because they base their designs on traditional building practices instead of optimizing them for mass timber\, end up with avoidable price premiums. This presentation will walk through early project decisions and design steps\, focusing on how to optimize projects for mass timber and how one early decision can influence others. Topics will include construction types\, fire ratings\, column grids and beam/panel spans\, acoustics\, and MEP integration. Completed mass timber projects will be used to illustrate the variety of viable options when navigating these key decisions. \nExploring Tall Wood: New Code Provisions for Tall Timber Structures \nAs interest in and use of mass timber in the U.S. has grown\, so too has interest in pushing these timber structures to greater heights.

SUMMARY:Mid-Rise Wood Design
DESCRIPTION:Regional Online Seminar (PA & NJ )\n\n\nAs cities seek increased density as a way to address urban population growth\, many building designers and developers are looking to mid-rise wood construction as a cost-effective\, code-compliant and sustainable solution. This presentation will cover some of the design considerations associated with mid-rise wood-frame buildings\, including how to maximize height and area through the use of sprinklers\, open frontage\, sloping sites\, podiums and mezzanines. Construction types will be reviewed\, with an emphasis on opportunities for wood use in types III and V. \nOpportunities for using mass timber construction for new building projects have never been greater now that the International Building Code (IBC) allows up to 18 stories of these materials. However\, with expanded code options\, selecting the right construction type is crucial to making a project pencil. This course focuses on mid-rise mass timber construction\, highlighting examples in the five- to eight-story range—including office\, mixed-use\, and multi-family projects. Discussion will help to inform decisions on how to incorporate mass timber based on a project’s intended height\, area\, and occupancies. The presentation will also cover decisions that need to be made early in the design process\, including grid layout\, approach to achieving fire ratings\, and lateral system selection. \n  \nHost: Shannon Williams\, PE | WoodWorks \n  \nCredits: Attendees can earn 2.0 AIA/CES HSW LUs\, 2.0 PDH credits or 0.2 ICC credits \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: Thomas Logan / Pivot North Architects / Axiom / Chad Case Visuals
