1. Discover how combining Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) can enhance structural performance and efficiency.
2. Learn about key design considerations, connection strategies, and construction best practices for CLT/CFS hybrid buildings.
3. Understand how CLT/CFS systems can increase sustainability, affordability, and scalability, particularly in the residential & hospitality market over six stories.
As the demand for sustainable, high-performance buildings continues to grow, CLT/CFS hybrid systems offer a practical solution for expanding mass timber applications. By leveraging the strength, durability and efficiency of Cold-Formed Steel alongside the environmental and aesthetic benefits of Cross-Laminated Timber, these systems provide a compelling alternative for mid-rise and high-rise residential construction. This session will explore the structural benefits, design integration strategies, and real-world applications of CLT/CFS systems, with a focus on their role in pushing mass timber adoption beyond traditional low-rise buildings. Attendees will gain insights into engineering best practices, connection detailing, and case studies showcasing the viability of this hybrid approach in residential and hospitality projects over six stories.
