This WoodWorks online seminar provides structural and architectural guidance for optimizing mass timber buildings while controlling project costs. Presenter Kate Carrigg explores early project decisions, showing how choices around construction types, fire resistance ratings, column grids, spans, acoustics, and mechanical system integration dictate downstream feasibility. The session also addresses whole building carbon accounting, examining life cycle assessment techniques, biogenic carbon calculations, removals, emissions, and end of life assumptions aligned with ISO standards. Completed projects serve as practical case studies to illustrate cost effective, high performance timber design choices.
