The Encapsulated Mass Timber Construction public review has been extended to February 16, 2024. The provincially led national Joint Task Group — Harmonized Variations for Mass Timber is inviting comments on proposed code changes related to encapsulated mass timber construction (EMTC). The proposed code changes build on the 2020 National Model Code provisions for EMTC and would expand the use of mass timber to more building occupancies, enable taller buildings, and vary encapsulation requirements. Information to support your participation is available on the Canadian Board for Harmonized Construction Codes public review website. Here is a video summary of the proposed changes.
