The look of “Wood” provides warmth in a building design that cannot be achieved by masonry, metals, glass or other building materials. Natural wood may not be an option for Class 1-3 (40’+) Commercial project due to combustibility, but newer composite and synthetic products replicate the look of natural wood and provide the fire performance required for Class 1-3 Commercial projects. They may also provide superior color retention and life-cycle performance while requiring little to no maintenance. This learning unit will provide an in-depth overview of “wood” design technologies that meet code requirements for Class 1-3 Construction.

Architects and LEED professionals understand the numerous benefits of building with wood. But many are unaware of its application in a timber curtain wall (TCW). Today’s technology provides opportunities to incorporate the beauty and energy-efficiency of wood into glazed facades that not only bring the outdoors in but also serve as the building’s heavy lifter. This course will present the differences between a conventional curtain wall and a timber curtain wall including load-bearing and non-load-bearing capabilities as well as net-zero and passive building. We will also show examples of projects using TWC.
