During testing by the ATF Fire Research Laboratory, a #masstimber wall lasted 3 hours and 6 minutes before the fire self-extinguished, far exceeding the 2 hour rating building codes require. Learn more about the fire testing here: bit.ly/2zt86dz
The unofficial voting results have been announced and we are excited to report that the #masstimber code change proposals passed. We are grateful to all of those who supported these proposals, and look forward to seeing them incorporated into the IBC. bit.ly/2QFqEkN
#Masstimber buildings offer design options and precise building envelopes that significantly reduce energy consumption. Its low energy demand, versatile applications, and construction efficiency demonstrates mass timber’s sustainability.
#Masstimber buildings are roughly 25% faster to construct than concrete buildings and require 90% less construction traffic. That saves much needed time, money, and energy.
#Masstimber creates safer construction sites for workers. Mass timber job sites have less scrap laying around, and cutting or welding is not required, reducing the risk of accidents or fires.
Studies have shown that building with #masstimber produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions than building with other materials. By some estimates, using mass timber in buildings 7-15 stories could equal taking more than 2 million cars off the road for one year!
Not only would #Quayside be the largest concentration of #masstimber buildings in the world, but by using mass timber the development is projected to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 75-85% compared to standard developments!
A fleshed out draft plan has been revealed for a proposed 'digital neighborhood' in #Toronto. If these plans are realized, #Quayside would be home to the single greatest concentration of #masstimber buildings anywhere in the world. 🌎 urbantoronto.ca/news/2018/11/s…
#Masstimber buildings weigh approximately 1/5th of comparable concrete buildings. This gives mass timber buildings a high strength-to-weight ratio, enabling them to perform well during seismic activity.
