This CPD covers the use of cross laminated timber products in lightweight building code-compliant Wall and Floor/Ceiling systems for multi-residential buildings and other building segments. CLT is an engineered wood product that consists of multiple layers of timber planks stacked in alternating directions and bonded together with structural adhesives. Prefabricated, lightweight and harvested from sustainably managed forests, CLT walls enable fast construction with strength, stability and durability.

Discover how architects can combat the increase in Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects through utilising colour selection strategies that can potentially enhance sustainability and occupant comfort. This session explores material selection, NCC-aligned best practices and global trends. Learn how optimising solar reflectance and emissivity in colour selection can potentially reduce UHI and improve thermal performance in climate-responsive architecture.
