- Explore how mass timber compares to steel/concrete with an emphasis on sound transmission and practical strategies for creating quieter more comfortable spaces.
Webinar: Sound and Vibration in Mass Timber Buildings: A Practical Guide
- Discover the unique acoustic characteristics of mass timber construction in this insightful webinar. We’ll explore how mass timber compares to traditional materials like steel and concrete, with a focus on direct and indirect sound transmission, as well as its sound-absorptive properties. From floors to walls, gain a deeper understanding of how to manage sound in mass timber environments to create quieter, more comfortable spaces. You’ll also hear about the latest acoustic research and real-world strategies to help you design for sound control—while keeping more of the beautiful timber structure exposed. Ideal for professionals working on schools, offices, and event spaces, this session will equip you with practical approaches to address acoustical challenges and meet code requirements from the start. Learning Outcomes: Gain familiarity with basic acoustic terminology and principles. Understand how sound and vibration can transmit directly and indirectly through a mass timber structure. Discover approaches to address sound and vibration transmission through continuous mass timber (CLT) panels. Gain an appreciation of various design considerations affecting noise control in mass timber buildings. Sound and Vibration in Mass Timber Buildings: A Practical Guide Date: December 11th, 2024 Time: 12 p.m. (ET) Duration: 75 minutes

- Vancouver Convention Centre West Building, Canada Place, Vancouver, BC, Canada
- This session will help you to formulate effective floor and wall assemblies when designing wood structures, both light wood frame and mass timber.
Webinar: Architectural Assemblies Simplified
- Join us for a detailed discussion covering Architectural Assemblies in Wood buildings. This session will help you to formulate effective floor and wall assemblies when designing wood structures, both light wood frame and mass timber. Discussion will cover typical fire ratings and strategies, acoustic performance of different assemblies and effective strategies for weather-tight exterior envelopes. Background on typical structural assemblies for different grid sizes will help you understand how to effectively develop complete assemblies when designing timber buildings.
