Résumé
This project is to enable the forest industry's participation over the next three years for code change proposals allowing for the increased use of low-carbon building materials and mass timber in wood buildings for the 2025 and 2030 editions of the National Building Code and to accelerate the adoption of performance-based building codes. The project will also support ongoing revisions and updates to wood-based standards, such as CSA O86 “Engineering Design in Wood

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à permettre la participation de l'industrie forestière, au cours des trois prochaines années, aux propositions de modification des codes permettant l'utilisation accrue de matériaux de construction à faible teneur en carbone et de bois de masse dans les bâtiments en bois pour les éditions 2025 et 2030 du Code national du bâtiment, et à accélérer l'adoption de codes de construction fondés sur la performance. Le projet soutiendra également les révisions et mises à jour en cours des normes relatives au bois, telles que la norme CSA O86 "Engineering Design in Wood" (conception technique des bâtiments en bois).
Expected Results
The expected result is research, testing, and detailed reports that facilitate revisions to the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC).
Expected Results (French)
Le résultat attendu est la recherche, les tests et les rapports détaillés qui facilitent les révisions au Code national du bâtiment du Canada (CNBC).
