WORKSHOP: 4 Things to Know About North American Mass Timber Standards

Learn about engineered wood products, especially mass timber, and how (and why) mass timber has been incorporated into projects across North America. This session will explore glue-laminated (glulam) timber and cross-laminated timber (CLT), covering manufacturing processes, design specifications, performance and environmental benefits through real-world case studies. This presentation will also cover the North American CLT standard (ANSI/APA PRG 320) and its implications for design professionals. CLT that meets PRG 320 standards is code-recognized, assuring its quality and mitigating risk for owners, designers and builders.
