Course Description: AEC DAILY: Building Envelope Guidelines for Mass Timber
ON-GOING - 1.25 hrs
As interest in cross-laminated timber (CLT) buildings grows, the market for building enclosure products as a whole has yet to fully provide the water-resistant barriers, vapor retarders, and air barriers to optimally support the unique characteristics of wood. Furthermore, there are few building enclosure design guides specific to detailing wood-framed walls and roofs. This comprehensive course fills the gaps, providing detailed information on mass timber, building enclosure issues, the vapor-permeable technology available to address wood’s unique moisture characteristics, and a how-to guide on detailing the walls and roof of the enclosure.

Learning Objectives
Recognize CLT’s unique sensitivity to moisture and how specially designed building enclosures are required to support building sustainability, longevity, and high performance.
Describe options for attaching cladding components to the CLT building enclosure.
Recall best practices for designing and installing water-resistant barriers, vapor retarders, and air barriers in CLT wall and roof cladding systems.
Discuss best practices for detailing CLT roof assemblies of varying slopes.
