A Review of Existing Commercial Mass Timber Buildings in the United States
EPiC Series in Built Environment, 2023The proliferation of mass timber structures across the United States has begun. So much so, a comprehensive evaluation of key building attributes and identification of trends in built structures can be measured. This study utilizes a comprehensive market analysis of existing commercial mass timber structures to quantify important attributes to gain au ...

QUANTIFYING AND REDUCING EMBODIED CARBON IN THE ACOUSTIC DESIGN OF MASS TIMBER BUILDINGS
Inter-Noise 2022, 2022An adoption of mass timber construction is the construction industry's best shot at reducing its significantly large contribution to global CO2 emissions. Acoustic design in mass timber buildings typically relies on mass and facing materials in order to meet design criteria, and can account for a high proportion of the embodied carbon (CO2e) per m² on

The sound insulation performance of mass timber building elements
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018Mass timber constructions have been gaining popularity in Canada since provincial building codes were changed to allow for taller buildings of mass timber elements. Common mass timber elements include cross-laminated timber, nail-laminated timber, dowel-laminated timber, and glued laminated timber.
