Program Overview
Timber Frame construction utilizes heavy timbers with interlocking wood-to-wood, mortise and tenon joinery and fasteners rather than nails, screws, or metalwork. Increasingly, wood is viewed as a sustainable, environmental resource with a carbon footprint that’s 75% less than that of concrete or steel, in addition to the embodied carbon sequestered in the frame for the duration of building use.
Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) are better for the environment. Assembled off-site, they reduce waste. Once installed they provide a high performing weather-tight shell that reduces energy costs. They also can save 50% on framing labor by reducing framing time by 66% on average! SIP can be used on residential or commercial structures for walls, roofing, and foundations.

Learning Objectives
Understanding of specific details of designing with timber frame construction and the sustainability of the material.
Understanding how SIP panels can be used alone or in hybrid construction with timber frame and the design process for incorporating both systems.
Gain an understanding of how SIP increases energy efficiency of structures and can be used for Net Zero, Passive House and Environmental certifications while also improving the safety of construction sites by reducing necessary framing and reducing waste on job sites.
Understand how the use of hybrid timber frame and SIP improves occupant comfort and wellbeing, saving owners 50-60% on heating and cooling costs.
Understand SIP manufacturing, including use of recyclable EPS foam and fast growing OSB species, no VOC products, and zero-waste factories.
