Event Details

What are the costs to build a 7-12 storey multi-family building with mass timber in BC? How will these buildings meet BC Energy Step Code requirements?

Join us online for the answers to these questions with three industry specialists. Speakers will share highlights from their recent B.C. study on the economics of building with mass timber.

Part two of this webinar series focuses on energy modeling and cost analysis. It explains the methodology for mass timber estimating as well as a practical demonstration of the new online Mass timber + Energy Parametric Costing Tool from the Province of BC.

Early mass timber digital design development helps solve performance, cost, and schedule predictability. This provides comprehensive data for decision-making that is critical for estimating performance-based design and constructability as a system that is appropriate for off-site manufacturing.

Attend this webinar to learn design and construction techniques that can help you achieve high performance building targets while lowering overall costs. Attendees will also discover detailed energy and thermal component modelling to ensure BC Energy Step Code compliance.

This second session will be of special interest to architects, designers, manufacturers, cost estimators, construction managers and energy advisors.

This event is being held in collaboration with NRCan, CMHC, Forestry Innovation Investment and the Province of BC’s Office of Mass Timber Implementation.
