WoodWorks will hold a Mass Timber Strategies for High-Performance Affordable Housing webinar on July 15th from 1 to 2 pm EDT.
This webinar, present by Scott & Molly Cutler from Cutler Development examines how hybrid mass timber systems can support resilient multi-family affordable housing.
Participants will review design and construction approaches used to meet high-performance building goals, including Zero Carbon Certification (by Living Future) and Passive House certification strategies, hybrid structural systems, panel optimization, acoustic assemblies, and coordination with local trades and project teams.
The webinar will also examine how mass timber contributes to durability, biophilic design, healthy indoor environments, and reduced embodied carbon in residential construction.
Through real-world project examples, participants will gain practical insight into applying mass timber systems to improve building performance and address the growing demand for sustainable workforce housing.
Learning Objectives:
- Examine how hybrid mass timber and conventional wood framing systems can be integrated to support structural performance, durability, fire protection, and occupant well-being in multi-family housing projects.
- Discuss the sustainability benefits of mass timber, including embodied carbon reduction and life cycle impacts, and why it matters.
- Evaluate how design approaches such as panel optimization, acoustic assemblies, and coordinated trade integration contribute to constructability, building performance, and occupant comfort.
- Apply lessons from real-world workforce housing developments to support resilient, code-compliant, and sustainable multi-family building design
