Oak Ridge National Laboratory Phase I: Thermal Performance Testing
The International Mass Timber Alliance (IMTA) partnered with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to compare and assess standard framed wall components to mass timber CLT (cross-laminated timber) components. Thermal performance testing was performed on various thicknesses under varying climate conditions in a test chamber.
Overview of IMTA Mass Wood Utilization Assistance Program
Current construction and energy codes and standards in the USA treat mass timber walls and roofs as having thermal transmission resistance properties similar to frame and insulation constructed building components. This is scientifically incorrect. Mass timber has...
