Mass Timber Warehouses: Performance, Sustainability & Aesthetic Appeal

Mass timber structural systems offer many benefits, and applications are starting to expand to the industrial building sector. How can wood contribute to the cost effectiveness of these types of buildings? What are the performance attributes of mass timber that can be beneficial when compared to conventional structural systems for warehouses and other industrial facilities? How can wood contribute to growing tenant and investor demand for sustainability and wellness? Attend this webinar to hear from leading developers and builders  who have constructed the first mass timber warehouses in the U.S. Through case study examples, we’ll answer these questions and discuss the potential for further growth of mass timber in the industrial sector.

By the end of the course, you will be able to do the following:

• Through case study examples, discuss design and code-compliance considerations required to utilize mass timber structural systems for a variety of industrial building typologies.
• Explore how utilizing wood structural systems can contribute to advancing sustainability by constructing industrial facilities with a lighter carbon footprint.
• Learn about the biophilic attributes of wood and how they can have a positive impact on occupant/employee wellness.
• Understand how the benefits of mass timber have contributed value to the first wood warehouses in the U.S., and discuss how these same benefits might apply to other industrial building types.
