of this presentation.
FPInnovations recently completed a “Guide for Designing Energy‐Efficiency Building Enclosures for
Wood‐Frame Multi‐Unit Residential Buildings in Marine to Cold Climate Zones in North America”. This
guide serves two major objectives: to assist architects, engineers, designers and builders in improving
the thermal performance of building enclosures of wood multi-unit residential buildings and to advance
design practices, construction practices, and material use based on best knowledge, in order to ensure
the durable performance of wood-frame building enclosures that are insulated to higher levels than
traditional wood-frame construction. The Canadian Wood Council has developed an Online interactive
above-grade wall assembly catalogue for architects, designers, engineers, consultants and contractors
to use to quickly determine suitable wall assemblies for each climate zone in Canada with confidence.
While the focus is complying with 2010 National Building Code (NBC) December 2012 amendments for
houses and 2011 National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB) for larger buildings, the wall assemblies
will be a handy reference to comply to any building code that enables the designer to choose an
effective R value. Durability, ease of construction, and affordability of the wall construction are all
considered, providing an overall assessment of the wall assembly.
Course Description
Learning Objectives
1. Information to assist architects, engineers, designers and builders in improving the
thermal performance of building enclosures of wood multi-unit residential buildings.
2. Information to advance design practices, construction practices, and material use
based on best knowledge, in order to ensure the durable performance of wood-frame
building enclosures that are insulated to higher levels than traditional wood-frame
construction.
3. Information on an Online interactive above-grade wall assembly catalogue for
architects, designers, engineers, consultants and contractors to use to quickly determine
suitable wall assemblies for each climate zone in Canada.
4. Information on tools available to calculate Durability, ease of construction, and
affordability of the wall construction.
