Webinar: 4 Things to Know About North American Mass Timber Standards4 Things to Know About North American Mass Timber Standards

November 4, 2025 – 11 a.m. PST / 2 p.m. EST

Learn about engineered wood products, especially mass timber, and how (and why) mass timber has been incorporated into projects across North America. This webinar 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. It will also cover the North American CLT standard (ANSI/APA PRG 320) and its implications for design professionals.

Webinar: 2021 and 2024 IECC: Impact on Structural Building Systems2021 and 2024 IECC: Impact on Structural Building Systems

The 2021 and 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) introduced new energy-efficiency requirements that affect structural building systems. From air sealing to the integration of continuous insulation and advanced framing techniques, these changes create new challenges and opportunities for designers, engineers and builders.

This session will explore the structural implications of these energy code updates, including potential effects on wall bracing, load paths, moisture management and engineered wood floor systems. Gain practical insight and tips for navigating these structural challenges while ensuring compliance with advanced energy codes.

AIA and ICC credit available.
