The Economics of Building with Mass Timber - Part 2: Parametric Energy + Costing Design

Timber Economics Part 2

Course Description

In this course, The Economics of Building with Mass Timber- Part 2:

  • Discover how early digital design development and construction techniques can help you with performance, cost and schedule predictability while achieving high performance building targets.

  • Learn how the Mass Timber + Energy Parametric Costing Tool, Navigator, can also help you estimate constructability that is appropriate for off-site manufacturing.

  • Understand 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.
