TRADA Foreword
Leaving a sustainable legacy A word on the climate crisis.
T
he climate crisis has long been looming, yet it took a child speaking out to really hold us to account. By doing so, Greta Thunberg reminded us that we are the ones who are responsible for the current state of affairs and, by extension, the ones who remain in control of leaving a sustainable legacy behind us.
The role of timber Timber is vital in this legacy. We are seeing an uprising across the globe, which demands that our governments and leaders address the climate crisis – and timber is, in my opinion, the only building material that offers a real solution as the planet’s population continues to grow. We are increasingly drawn to polycentric cities, while our buildings grow taller. Now is the time for vertical timber cities, which will positively impact the quest to avert the fast-approaching climate crisis and build more housing in towns and cities that need it. Should tall timber cities proceed, I can see many positives for the UK construction industry – among them the demand for off-site solutions. We are already seeing great success stories from TRADA members such as Swan NU build, which is using off-site constructed modular structural timber. The evidence to support this is demonstrable: housebuilders such as Barratt Developments are acquiring companies to service their capacity – in Barratt’s case, Oregon Timber Frame; TopHat, one of the UK’s leaders of technology-driven modular housing manufacturing, is using timber in its construction; while the CLT world is consciously adapting itself to working together with light-gauge steel as a hybrid solution for flat-pack or highrise solutions. Timber is one of the world’s oldest materials; it can be easily adapted to other materials, such as steel and concrete, along with flat-pack or modular approaches, to form part of the solution – while addressing carbon neutrality at the same time.
We are also continuing our core collaborative work with both the Institution of Structural Engineers (IStructE) and the Structural Timber Association (STA), with whom we will continue to develop joint publications that combine our strengths. TRADA strives to listen to the demands of the market and provide authoritative publications in support of those who are specifying timber as the structural component of choice. The past year saw the release of brand-new publications Procuring engineered timber buildings: A client’s guide and Timber design pioneers: Collaborate to innovate, plus an in-depth revision of Off-site and industrialised timber construction: Delivering quality and efficiency.
Changes to the TRADA Board Anthony Thistleton has joined the Board as Andrew Waugh of Waugh Thistleton has stepped down. This passing of the baton between Directors gives us great continuity from a passionate company, and we are grateful for the continued support. TRADA must also give special thanks to Simon Smith, whose eight-year involvement as a Director of TRADA has now come to an end. During his time chairing the Advisory Committee, Simon oversaw the development several fantastic publications and had a pivotal role in the creation of Structural timber elements: A pre-scheme design guide. We wish him well in all his endeavours.
Challenges ahead There are admittedly still obstacles to overcome, including the fall out of issues relating to the non-use of combustible materials on external walls. However, TRADA members are adapting to these changing circumstances to ensure that timber continues to play a leading role in construction. n
Industry partnerships TRADA’s relationship with the Timber Trade Federation (TTF) has gone from strength to strength following the addition of David Hopkins to the TRADA Board of Directors. We are delighted to formally announce that the University Engagement Programme will proceed as a collaborative effort, driven by TRADA in association with the TTF. www.trada.co.uk

TRADA Review of the year
Key events in 2019
Rupert Scott delivers a round-up of TRADA’s activities from the past 12 months.
3From February to April, TRADA’s Senior Timber Frame Consultant, Robin
Lancashire, joined the National House Building Council (NHBC) on its annual touring seminar series Building for Tomorrow. He talked to attendees about timber frame and some of the common issues highlighted during site inspections by NHBC, including differential movement, trapped construction moisture and durability of timber.
3New TRADA
publication Timber design pioneers launched in March during Futurebuild. The publication, which was supported by Wood for Good, focused on the role collaboration has played and continues to play in innovation across the timber industry.
3TRADA attended Solid Wood Solutions in May, where chairman
Nick Milestone introduced the seminar programme. TRADA was especially proud to note that its members dominated the stage, and delivered a holistic and helpful view of engineered timber technologies.
4New TRADA publication
Procuring engineered timber buildings: A client’s guide was released in June. Developed in consultation with 10 highly experienced TRADA members, the publication is a collection of realistic FAQs intended for developers who are considering engineered timber solutions for the structure of their building.

3World’s tallest timber tower
Mjøstårnet in Norway is a 85.4m-high tower built using crosslaminated timber (CLT). The 18-storey mixeduse building contains apartments, a hotel, swimming pool, offices and a restaurant. Even the elevator shafts are made entirely from CLT and the columns are made from glued laminated timber (glulam). For more information, go to www.ctbuh.org. See also p98.
Flat-pack housing4 U-build is a simple modular system that allows anyone to self-build their own home. Components are slotted together like a jigsaw puzzle to assemble a building frame and can be easily dismantled, recycled or reused at the end of the building’s life. Every component is produced off site by CNC fabricators before being transported to the construction site where a small team of people can construct the building using simple hand tools.

Cork House: a showcase Winning both the Gold Award and the Private Award in the 2019 Wood Awards, Cork House demonstrates a radical approach to prefabricated construction.
A
rchitects, Matthew Barnett Howland, Dido Milne and Oliver Wilton, set out to re-think a building from first principles, considering each stage of its life, including whole-life carbon, material life-cycle and design for disassembly. They examined alternatives to the complex assemblies of composite materials that make up modern wall systems. Could a single solid material be used as an alternative? Their research led them to expanded cork, a bio-renewable material with a remarkably sustainable life cycle. In its solid form, it integrates structure, insulation, external and internal finish. The walls and the five corbelled roof pyramids of Cork House are made of monolithic cork blocks, solid from inside to outside, which interlock so they can be built without mortar, glue, insulation, plaster or render. The system is carbon negative, designed for self-build assembly, and at the end of the building’s life the cork can be re-used.
Working with nature It is an innovative building, but one that also had to respect the idyllic and historic context of its site. Its home is the riverside garden of a Grade II-listed 19th-Century mill house, purchased a decade ago by Howland and Milne, who became not only architects but also clients and builders. The house nestles amid mature trees and acts as a gateway into a walled garden. It is linear in plan, 18m long, and consists of five bays, each topped with a pyramidal roof. The cork blocks that form the pyramidal roofs are clad with cedar weatherboards and rainwater is discharged via copper-lined valleys and copper rainwater goods. The first bay, the threshold between the two gardens, creates a space for sheltered outside living; the next bay is an entrance foyer and a generous bathroom with a sleeping loft above it. Two further pyramidal roofs enclose a kitchen/living >> www.trada.co.uk

room, with a bedroom in the final module beyond. Inside the house, the exposed cork walls are warm to the touch and create a rich sensory environment involving touch, sound and even smell. As Howland explains: ‘The resultant architectural form is new and yet familiar, a progressive reimagining of ancient structures and simple construction principles that considerably exceeds contemporary building performance requirements. With a focus on what is solid, simple and sustainable, the project is also an innovative response to some of the complexities and conventions of modern building practices.’
The use of cork Expanded cork is a material with a unique and traditional ecological origin. Mediterranean cork oak forests, grown for centuries to make wine stoppers for local vineyards, are landscapes that are rich in biodiversity. The bark of the cork oak is harvested every nine years without felling, harming the trees or disturbing the forest. Expanded cork is manufactured from the waste product of the harvest. In addition, expanded cork has superb thermal performance, is excellent in compression and is entirely bio-renewable.

The Cork House project used an evolved version of a cork construction system researched and developed from 2015 to 2018 by MPH Architects, the Bartlett School of Architecture UCL, University of Bath, Amorim UK and Ty-Mawr, with subcontractors including Arup and BRE. The research explored design hypotheses and prototypes, and built constructional models to scale. A robotic milling technique was developed at the Bartlett to shape the cork blocks. Test panels were laboratory-tested to address a range of performance criteria, with the University of Bath focusing on structural testing and BRE undertaking fire performance and rain tightness testing. A small prototype building was created and monitored to help establish performance through the seasons under real weather conditions. The research was part-funded by Innovate UK and EPSRC under the 2015 Building Whole Life Performance funding competition. It established the viability of the cork construction system for a range of applications, and de-risked the system sufficiently for application on its first live project.

Construction The construction was designed as a prefabricated kit-ofparts. The blocks of expanded cork (1,268 of them) were CNC-machined offsite using a digital machine-cutting process that could produce a block every five minutes. The blocks are generally Photo: David Grandorge 1m x 500mm in size and light enough to be assembled on-site by hand. They are profiled so that they interlock in both plan and section with friction-fit joints, without the use of mortar or glue. The blocks are supported at ground-floor level on an Accoya ring beam and spruce cross-laminated timber (CLT) floor panels, which, in turn, transfer all loads to 14 removeable steel screw pile foundations. The cork wall structure is in pure compression and all lateral loads are taken through an Accoya ring beam and valley beams, both integrated into the cork block structure at eaves level. Accoya lintels combine with the eaves ring beam to form a U-beam over window and door openings.
The five quadrilateral pyramid roofs were made using the same principles of interlocking joints, but each block is corbelled in from the one below, creating a series of five truncated pyramids, each surmounted with a triple-glazed roof light fixed to an Accoya frame. Accoya is used for structural beams, windows, doors and steps, and two sets of smaller Accoya ring beams are incorporated into each roof pyramid to stiffen the centre of the roof planes, providing support during assembly without falsework, and regulating the roof geometry. The CLT floor panels are finished with un-planed crosssawn oak floorboards (screwed rather than nailed for ease of disassembly). All internal built-in joinery is made from spruce Tilly board and loose furniture is made from reclaimed spruce CLT boards. Extensive testing resulted in minor modifications. To improve airtightness, a 10mm rebate for a removable foam insert was incorporated into the joints, and the external sloping surfaces of the cork corbels that create the pyramids were lined with western red cedar weatherboards, which drain rainwater into copper-clad valleys between the pyramids and discharge into a series of copper gutters. As part of the fire engineering scheme, Class 0 fire-rated western red cedar was used to line the rear facade externally, and sprinklers were installed internally to avoid any internal coating or lining of the cork. The cork blocks and all other connections are mechanical and accessible, and the whole house is ‘designed for disassembly’ so that the cork can be re-used at the end-ofbuilding-life as either biological or technical nutrients. This innovative and radically simple form of biogenic construction is carbon negative at completion and has exceptionally strong whole-life performance, including estimated whole-life carbon emissions of 618kg CO² eq/m². n

Building with wood in a climate emergency
Gary Newman discusses how the use of timber in construction should be increased to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Timber structures Spotlight on: Sustainability
“Without increased and urgent mitigation ambition in the coming years, leading to a sharp decline in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, global warming will surpass 1.5°C in the following decades, leading to irreversible loss of the most fragile ecosystems, and crisis after crisis for the most vulnerable people and societies.”
T
he above quotation is taken from the special report Global Warming of 1.5°C, published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2018. The report makes the point that, while keeping global temperatures below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels is technically feasible, it would take unprecedented transformation of all aspects of our society. This report made headline news in October 2018, but only for one day. It was only after the report was ‘translated’ into plain English, by the then unknown teenage Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, that the world started to take note. The UK Government, devolved administrations and many local authorities have now declared a climate emergency. Now that climate change denial is finally off the table, there is the political space for all sectors of society to focus on the rapid mobilisation of solutions. This is where plantation forestry and the use of timber in construction come to the fore.
Mitigating carbon emissions with timber Given that one-third of global carbon emissions is related to deforestation (the other two-thirds due to the release of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels), it is no surprise that one of the solutions to counteract climate change is to plant trees. Trees are nature’s carbon capture and storage solution. In fact, photosynthesis is the only proven system for atmospheric carbon removal and storage. A recent report The Global Tree Restoration Potential 1 describes the potential for trees to tackle climate change. Growing trees to lock up carbon is one thing, but if we then use those trees in housing construction, the benefit is increased. Research funded by Woodknowledge Wales indicates that the carbon benefit from afforestation can be doubled over 100 years if we grow and process the timber for the construction market. Timber, when used in construction, has two main benefits. First, timber products are typically lower embodied carbon (the carbon released in extracting, transporting and manufacturing) than other products and therefore displace high-carbon materials.

Equally, construction policy does not favour the use of wood over other materials. Approximately 50% of the carbon emissions from housing over a 60year life is related to the construction products and process (embodied carbon emissions), and is thereby emitted at the time of construction. The other 50% is due to operational carbon emissions – regulated (heating and lighting) and unregulated (appliances).

materials of the past century – but their high embodied carbon means that they are unlikely to be considered so appropriate to the needs of the 21st Century. ‘We’re going to introduce legislation to ban the glass and steel skyscrapers that have contributed so much to global warming. They have no place in our city or on our earth anymore’ – Bill de Blasio, Mayor of New York City (April 2019). Second, when timber is used in construction, the biogenic carbon creates a store in the built environment. This store can be increased if wood is used not only for the structure but also for insulation, and internal and external joinery. It is the expansion of this store that can double the carbon storage benefit of afforestation.
Policy and regulation This should make growing trees and using wood in construction a go-to solution. However, as yet there are no government policies in place to make this happen. For example, in Wales there is a forest cover of 15%, which is substantially less than half the European average. In 2018, farming in Wales received a subsidy of £300m and forestry £1m. This goes some way to explaining why there has been no new tree planting in Wales over the past five years. Despite the lack of Government support for forestry, it is still worth more to the Welsh economy than agriculture.2 www.trada.co.uk
It is time for construction policy and regulation to tackle the carbon emissions caused by building materials. Targeting net-zero whole-life carbon would encourage Passivhaus levels of energy performance alongside the use of low-carbon materials such as wood. Net zero could be achieved by offsetting remaining emissions through funding tree planting to create a virtuous circle. This is easy to say (or write), but making it happen is something else. The IPCC describes the need for unprecedented transformation3 and climate emergency declarations have been made by the majority of UK Local Authorities, both the Welsh and Scottish Governments and the UK Parliament. But there are lots of barriers to change. A few of those across Wales are shown below. • Resistance to land-use change resulting in, for example, continuation of environmentally degrading and sub-economic activity such as grazing, or favouring a nostalgic backwardlooking preference for ‘native’ tree species rather than creating resilient and productive plantation forestry. Each one of us in the UK is responsible for the consumption of approximately 1m3 of timber per year and yet the UK produces timber at a rate of only 0.2m3/year per capita. The UK is already the second largest importer of timber in the world after China and global demand is set to at least treble by 2050. • Building policy and regulations continue to be materially agnostic despite steel and cement accounting for 50% of the UK’s industrial carbon emissions. When it comes to energy, policy correctly favours renewables over fossil fuels. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

• Carbon-illiterate planning authorities want to see traditional vernacular and car-dominated housing developments.
Local Authorities are also starting to step up. Powys County Council has:
• Procurement rules don’t allow for the nurturing of new lowcarbon supply chains.
• Approved a Wood Encouragement Policy, which commits to building with timber and to using the local timber supply chains.
Action in Wales
• Commissioned Woodknowledge Wales and consortium partners, including TRADA, Cardiff Met University and Coed Cymru to deliver the Home-Grown Homes Project – an EU- and Welsh Government-funded research project to explore and recommend actions to overcome barriers to the transformation of the Welsh timber construction supply chain (www.hgh.cymru).4
Although starting from a low base in Wales, change is afoot: • The Welsh Government has embraced the radical plan (Zero Carbon Homes – Actions to Integrate Welsh Forest Industries with Modern Methods of Construction) to transform the timber construction supply chain and turn Wales into a high-value forest nation. • Industrial and economic policy is increasingly targeting foundational economic growth, which means a focus on not just the shiny and new, but on the basic services, such as housing and its supply chain. It is these foundational economic activities that have the biggest impact on the quality of people’s lives, if not on overall GDP growth.
In terms of Woodknowledge Wales membership, an increasing number of its housing association members are committing to building with wood and seeking to support the development of local timber supply chains. This is helping to stimulate activity in the SME-dominated timber supply chains and, over time, this can be expected to lead to the creation of meaningful additional employment, particularly in rural areas. On the global scale, these actions are of course small. But growing trees and building with wood will certainly help the UK Government meet its legally binding carbon targets and demonstrates global leadership in the fight against climate change. n

Timber in construction: mitigating climate change
Timber as a construction material offers many opportunities for mitigating the impacts of climate change. Callum Hill and Andrew Norton explore the targets and challenges ahead for the construction sector.

“As energy sources are set to decarbonise, and with tighter building regulations in terms of building performance, the focus is being drawn towards the significant potential for implementing climate change mitigation actions by choosing construction materials with the lowest environmental impact.�
T
here is an increased use of timber in the UK construction sector and, according to the Structural Timber Association, timber frame systems accounted for more than a quarter of housing starts in 2016.1 There is an urgent need to reduce carbon emissions within construction to contribute to national greenhouse gas (GHG) abatement targets. The target of the UK Construction Sector Deal is a 50% reduction in carbon emissions by 2025, which will require reductions in both operational and embodied emissions.2 The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that, globally, the building sector is responsible for 40% of primary energy demand and 36% of energy-related CO2 emissions in industrialised countries.3 However, this only takes account of operational energy and does not include embodied energy and GHG emissions associated with the materials used in construction. As energy sources are set to decarbonise, and with tighter building regulations in terms of building performance, the focus is being drawn towards the significant potential for implementing climate change mitigation actions by choosing construction materials with the lowest environmental impact. According to the International Energy Agency, the building sector has one of the lowest GHG mitigation costs. By increasing the use of timber in construction, it is possible to mitigate climate change with no cost penalty or even with cost reductions.
Carbon sequestration Atmospheric carbon is accumulated in living biomass through the process of photosynthesis. Most of the carbon of the terrestrial biosphere is stored in forests, which contain about 86% of the above-ground biogenic carbon and 73% of the carbon stored in the soil.4 Boreal forests store about one-third of the global terrestrial biogenic carbon. Although global carbon stocks in forests are decreasing by 1.1 thousand million tonnes (Gt) per year, in most European countries the forest utilisation rate (fellings as a percentage of the annual increment) is less than 100%. This means that the carbon pool in European forests is increasing in size, with the sink being about 365 million tonnes of sequestered CO2 per year; equivalent to 7% of annual EU emissions. >> www.trada.co.uk

Increasing fellings can improve the carbon sequestration potential of these forests. Photo: Callum Hill
With the current rate of timber harvesting in Europe, managed forests will move into older age classes and the net increment of wood material will consequently decline. This provides an opportunity for increasing fellings to improve the carbon sequestration potential of these forests. The best approach will prove to be a ‘mixed’ strategy, where some areas are optimised for timber production and others for biodiversity and amenity benefits. This is an activity that generates income and employment and also mitigates climate change. The use of biomass in the built environment represents a stable and easily accountable way of storing atmospheric carbon for long periods of time, creating a new carbon pool. The substitution of other building materials, which often have a higher carbon footprint, brings additional benefits. If forests are not harvested, it is self-evident that no forest products will be produced, which consequently requires their replacement with more energy- and carbon-intensive materials. In addition, the potential for energy production from the by-products of harvesting and processing and wood waste at the end-of-life cycle is lost.
Recognising carbon storage in the built environment The role of harvested wood products in mitigating GHG emissions has been recognised by the Kyoto Protocol since www.trada.co.uk
2009, when the 15th Conference of Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen agreed that harvested wood products (HWPs) could be included as an additional carbon pool. For the first commitment period of 2008–2012, it was assumed that the amount of carbon leaving the HWPs pool every year was equal to the annual inflow (instantaneous oxidation). This means that, although a considerable quantity of atmospheric carbon may be stored in the wood products pool, this amount is assumed to be stable over time and there is therefore no net benefit in terms of mitigation potential. For the second commitment period (2013–2020) the carbon accounting included carbon stock changes in the HWP pool. Although the IPCC recognises the importance of the built environment, its mitigation strategies listed in the fourth and fifth assessment reports are almost exclusively concerned with energy consumption. The use of wood as an example of a low embodied energy material is mentioned, but there is no consideration given to the potential for timber and other plant-derived products to act as carbon stores in the built environment. The use of mitigation strategies associated with forestry is only concerned with bioenergy and does not discuss the sequestration potential of timber products. However, the Conference of the Parties to the >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook
| 39
Timber structures Spotlight on: Sustainability
Kyoto Protocol in Copenhagen in 2009 did recognise the importance of including timber products as carbon sinks and the 2011 Durban and 2012 Doha conferences stated that carbon stored in wood products should be integrated into reporting procedures.
Climate change mitigation benefits of timber The use of HWPs in long-life products allows for the carbon storage benefits of timber to be extended beyond the forest. The benefits of using HWPs are not just limited to carbon storage, but also because they can be a substitute for materials that have a higher embodied energy and/or global warming potential. Finally, the use of harvesting/processing residues and end-of-life timber as a source of energy brings additional benefits when substituting fossil energy sources. A more recent report (2018) of the potential climate change mitigation benefits of using timber in construction in the UK was published by the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) – ‘Wood in Construction in the UK: An Analysis of Carbon Abatement Potential’.5 This study (undertaken by the Bangor University BioComposites Centre, JCH Industrial Ecology and Renuables Ltd) showed that:
• Even with conservative estimates, increasing the number of houses constructed of timber to 270,000 by 2050 would deliver an annual reduction in carbon emissions by around 0.8 to 1.0 million tonnes (Mt) carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) by substituting for higher embodied energy and embodied carbon building materials. • The carbon storage in the fabric of the timber buildings amounted to an additional 1.0 to 1.3 Mt CO2e per annum. • For individual buildings, the substitution of timber for masonry resulted in the reduction in embodied CO2 emissions by about 20%, whereas using CLT instead of reinforced concrete for construction of multiple occupancy dwellings led to a massive 60% decrease in embodied CO2 emissions. Most importantly, these climate change mitigation benefits can be realised with almost zero abatement costs, because of similar costs for the different types of construction. From the point of view of reporting these benefits as attributable to the national carbon accounts, it was estimated that it was possible to source 86% to 92% of the timber construction material in the UK. However, given that at present only 20% of construction timber is currently sourced from the UK and that only 35% of >>

sawn timber and sheet material is currently derived from the UK resources,6 there is clearly a large gap between what might be theoretically possible and what can be achieved in the short, or even medium, term. More planting is urgently required.
Dr Andrew Norton Director Renuables Ltd
Future goals Achieving the proposed targets will be challenging and requires the construction sector to reduce both operational and embodied carbon emissions. These targets include: • HM Government Construction Sector Deal 50% reduction target. • CCC and the World Green Building Council proposed ‘net zero’ target by 2050. There is a massive challenge ahead for the UK construction sector, but the home-grown timber industry is more than capable of meeting that challenge. However, this will need a massive increase in new planting to meet the increased demands on timber resources, Confor have stated that 40,000 hectares of new woodland needs to be planted every year to make a substantial contribution to carbon reduction and 260,000 hectares a year to achieve a zero carbon Britain.7 Although, in principle, the majority of timber requirements of the UK construction sector could be met by home-grown timber, it must be recognised that markets already exist for much of this timber; albeit often with shorter product lifetimes and a commensurate reduction in carbon storage benefits. Any timber shortfall must consequently be met by exports, for which no credit is given in the UK carbon accounts. n

“According to the UN, building construction and maintenance uses around one-third of the world’s energy, and produces around one-quarter of the planet’s greenhouse gases. However, using timber in construction can significantly reduce this impact.”
A
rchitects and other industry professionals are responding to increasing evidence of the potentially catastrophic effects of climate change. In 2018 the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned that human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide would need to fall by around 45% from 2010 levels by 2030. Only by limiting global warming to 1.5°C instead of 2.0°C above pre-industrial levels would the worst-case scenarios of climate change be mitigated. But, says the IPCC, this will need ‘rapid and far-reaching’ transitions in land, energy, industry, buildings, transport and cities and would require ‘unprecedented changes’. In their declaration on the climate and biodiversity emergency, otherwise known as Architects Declare, UK architects say that climate breakdown and loss of biodiversity are the most serious issues facing planet Earth. They say that, for everyone working in the construction industry, meeting the needs of our society without breaching the Earth’s ecological boundaries will demand a ‘paradigm shift in our behaviour’.1
Details of the declaration Clients and architects will need to commission and design buildings, cities and infrastructures as indivisible components of a larger, constantly regenerating and self-sustaining system. The declaration states that the research and technology exist to begin that transformation, but what has been lacking is collective will. Recognising this, architects have committed to strengthen working practices to create architecture and urbanism that has a more positive impact on the world. Signatories to the declaration will seek to: • Raise awareness of the climate and biodiversity emergencies, and the urgent need for action among clients and supply chains • Advocate faster change towards regenerative design practices with a higher funding priority from the Government • Establish climate and biodiversity mitigation principles as the key measure of success • Share knowledge and research on an open-source basis • Evaluate all new projects against the aspiration to contribute positively to mitigating climate breakdown, and encourage clients to adopt this approach >> www.trada.co.uk

To facilitate progress in the UK, the UK Green Building Council has launched a programme to drive the transition to a net zero carbon built environment. The programme, ‘Advancing Net Zero’, will focus on five main areas:
Engineers have also joined in declaring a climate emergency. Photo: UKGBC
• Upgrade existing buildings for extended use as a more carbon-efficient alternative to demolition and new build whenever there is a viable choice • Include life-cycle costing, whole-life carbon modelling and post-occupancy evaluation as part of basic scope of work, to reduce both embodied and operational carbon • Adopt more regenerative design principles, with the aim of designing architecture and urbanism that goes beyond the standard of net zero carbon in use • Collaborate with engineers, contractors and clients to further reduce construction waste • Accelerate the shift to low embodied carbon materials • Minimise wasteful use of resources in architecture and urban planning, both in quantum and in detail. Similar declarations have been made by others in the construction industry, including structural engineers, civil engineers and building services specifiers. RIBA is also developing its Ethics and Sustainable Development Commission’s action plan, and has pledged to support the Government’s 2050 net zero emissions target.
Net zero by 2050 The World Green Building Council (WGBC)2 launched its Net Zero Carbon Buildings Initiative, which calls on companies, regions and states to reach net zero carbon operating emissions by 2030, and for all buildings to be net zero by 2050. By doing this it is hoped to limit global warming to below 2 oC and ideally below 1.5 oC by drastically reducing operating emissions from buildings. The WGBC says its commitment is unique in positioning building performance as a core component of strategy to ensure full alignment with the Paris agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. www.trada.co.uk
• Building consensus on a framework definition for net zero carbon buildings in the UK • Compiling a collection of case studies profiling projects that achieve net zero carbon for construction or operation, or which include approaches that align with the net zero carbon buildings framework • Developing a guide to Scope 3 reporting in commercial real estate to improve the accuracy and robustness of scope 3 emissions reporting • Launching the Net Zero Carbon Buildings Commitment • Holding a European summit on advancing net zero emissions. Where does timber construction fit into this? According to the UN, building construction and maintenance uses around onethird of the world’s energy, and produces around one-quarter of the planet’s greenhouse gases. However, using timber in construction can significantly reduce this impact: • Compared with other construction materials, such as concrete and steel, only small amounts of carbon are used to produce timber building materials. • Due to the exchange of carbon dioxide with oxygen by photosynthesis, wood captures and stores carbon for its entire life cycle – around 1 tonne of CO2 per 1m3 of wood. • The by-products of timber production – such as bark, branches and treetops – can be processed into pulp and bioenergy. Clive Fussell, Director at design and engineering practice Engenuiti, which has signed up to the structural engineers’ equivalent of Architects Declare, says that, as with all construction materials, it is important to assess timber on a whole-life basis, with particular consideration given to re-using and repurposing timber structures to avoid the release of methane resulting from timber rotting in landfill. ‘As with all good engineering, it’s about using the right material in the right place. Timber cassettes offer advantages in long-span roof structures, CLT slabs provide acoustic and fire resistance to floors using timber sizes that would otherwise be difficult to use for construction, and lightweight framing offers an efficient speedy solution for domestic property. Increasingly, we are using CLT coupled with other materials such as steel frame to provide structural solutions to buildings such as commercial offices that have not used timber for the best part of 100 years.’ Another passionate advocate of sustainable design and construction is Anthony Thistleton of architects and signatory to Architects Declare, Waugh Thistleton. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

‘It’s no exaggeration to say that using timber can save the world. The more timber is used, the greater requirement there is for forests, and large-scale reforestation can help prevent global warming. As an architect I feel very lucky that I’m in a position to do something about reducing the amount of carbon we produce.’
‘As a practice we also see value in the potential of hybrid systems, of using timber where it’s best placed to be used in conjunction with other materials where needed and necessary. We need to find unique ways to collaborate between the timber industry and other industries, like steel and concrete.’
Sustainable forestry
According to Andrew Wylie, Partner at Buro Happold, which is a signatory to the structural engineers’ declaration, using timber in new-build construction is only part of the solution – there’s a growing move to repurpose and/or refurbish buildings, such as extending storeys on top. Given its relatively light weight, timber is ideal for this.
Architects dRMM’s approach to adopt more regenerative principles – one of the key objectices of Architects Declare – is about the promotion and practical application of timber. As dRMM Director Jonas Lencer says: ‘Sustainable forestry management is going to be a really important step for how the world reduces its carbon footprint. If you look at it from a global scale, using as much timber in construction as possible is vital in mitigating the industry’s impact on climate change, because more trees will be grown and cared for, resulting in more long-term carbon sequestration. However, we also need to look at the biodiversity element, the cultural element, the issue of land use – all things that will require the promotion of using varied species.’ Together with the American Hardwood Export Council, dRMM has researched the development of tulipwood CLT, a softwood alternative with fast growth contributing to carbon sequestration. The practice is also minimising the wasteful use of resources in its designs – another objective of Architects Declare – by working with design for manufacture and assembly and modern methods of construction principles in timber. dRMM has also been working with the London Energy Transformation Initiative, writing guidance for designers to accelerate the application of low embodied carbon materials. ‘There needs to be a shift in how we do things collectively, rather than trying to push timber into the current construction model – which we believe isn’t working,’ says Lencer. ‘We need to re-think the processes the entire industry uses and facilitate a shift in values towards a circular economy.
It is not just all about carbon, says Wylie. There is the potential of an ecological crisis, too. That is where the advantages of timber shine through, with certification schemes such as those run by the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC®) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC™), together with appropriate chain of custody certification through the supply chain. Buro Happold itself is meeting the goals of the climate emergency declaration by looking at projects holistically, starting with the question ‘do we need a new building at all?’ It then looks at the fundamental design of a building in the context of a tight ‘carbon budget’ before addressing the question of materials, of which timber certainly provides gains in embodied carbon. To help it meet climate change objectives, the practice is also investing in tools to assess the different options and to account for carbon use. There are many fine words and good intentions from the architectural and engineering professions on building and using buildings with a reduced impact on climate and biodiversity. And it is clear that timber can play a role in constructing buildings with increased carbon sequestration and reduced production of greenhouse gases. It remains to be seen, however, whether these initiatives will translate into the huge, collective effort needed to make a difference on the ground to our planet’s future. n

Timber and the circular economy
Timber is the ultimate renewable material, but where does it fit into the circular economy? Charlie Law looks at how the timber industry could embrace a system that makes the most of its available resources.
T
raditionally, industry has followed the ‘take, make, dispose’ linear consumption model, where resources are taken from the earth to make whatever is needed and the products are disposed of at the end of their life.
2012, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation produced a great concept infographic, affectionately known as the butterfly diagram, which explains these biological and technical nutrient cycles.
Traditional linear consumption model. Source: SusConSol
Introduction to the circular economy The circular economy is based on the principles of: • designing out waste • keeping products and materials in use • regenerating natural systems. This means that, if designing something for the long term, ensuring that it can be reused or remanufactured at the end of its use cycle, will reduce reliance on the finite resources used to make that product in the first place. Although this is not a new concept, society has focused on efficiency over the past century and many of these core principles have been ignored. However, in the latter part of the 20th Century, society began to realise that it needed to conserve natural resources and, with Professor Walter Stahel’s ‘Product Life Factor’ paper in 1981, society started to think in loops. In the 1990s the establishment of the FSC® and PEFCTM chain of custody schemes for timber helped to ensure a sustainable supply. Professor Stahel’s work was also expanded by William McDonough and Michael Braungart who developed the concept of cradle-to-cradle design in their book Rethinking the way we make things, first published in 2002. This introduced the concept of biological and technical nutrient cycles. Then, in FSC-A000503

Technical nutrients are generally sourced from finite resources that are extracted from the earth, such as metal ores to make steel or oil to make plastics. To reduce the impact on these finite resources, these materials must be kept in circulation by ensuring they are maintained, reused, refurbished, remanufactured or, as a last resort, recycled. Biological nutrients are generally sourced from renewable resources such as plants or algae, and prior to returning these resources to the biosphere, as much should be extracted from them as possible (for example by extracting biogas) and resources should be maintained through replanting.
But where does timber fit into this circular economy? Timber is a biological nutrient and therefore follows the biological cycle, with the possibility of some ‘cascading’ recycling (down-cycling). As can be seen by the CEI Bois diagram from 2009, which shows waste timber and by-products from the processing industry being reused for panel production >>

and energy recovery, the timber industry has been promoting what could be termed a semi-circular business model years.
In addition the timber industry must ensure that it becomes more self-sufficient in its timber production, with the UK being second only to China as the largest net importer of timber and timber products, with more than 60% of our timber requirements being sourced from elsewhere.
Source security and responsible sourcing
Timber life cycle. Source: CEI Bois
However, when you look at the numbers, it is clear that more could be done with the timber that has been extracted. The Wood Recyclers Association estimates that 4.5 million tonnes of wood waste was generated in 2018. Of this 877,000 tonnes (19%) was recycled and used for panel board manufacture and 500,000 tonnes (11%) used for animal bedding, equine surfaces, and other recycling purposes. 2.1 million tonnes (47%) went to UK biomass and 313,000 tonnes (7%) was exported for biomass. We also know from the Environment Agency waste interrogator data that less than 1% of ‘waste’ timber ends up in landfill. This leaves approximately 665,000 tonnes (15%) unaccounted for, which is likely to have ended up in the ‘refuse derived fuel’ element of waste from materials recovery facilities (MRFs) that is either used in the UK or exported for use as a fuel in energy production. With ever-increasing energy and resources going into timber production generally, and in particular engineered timber products, should designers look at how these products could be developed to follow the technical cycle, at least initially, and aim to: • maintain timber products in place for longer, refurbish and reuse timber components • look at how certain components could be remanufactured.
The UK must consider the long-term security of its vital timber supplies. Although there is currently a stable supply chain from many countries around the world, particularly those in Europe, for the 60% plus of the UK’s timber requirements, this may not be the long-term picture. The need to reduce carbon emissions from the built environment means that every country will have to look at constructing lower embodied carbon buildings. Timber is a key material in helping to achieve this, which could mean restricted supplies in the future.

There must therefore be a sustainable home-grown timber supply for the future, as well as ensuring more is done with existing resources. For example, only 10% of the hardwood felled in the UK today is used for timber production,1 much of the remaining 90% is used for biomass, without any previous use. Although the utilisation rates for softwood timber are significantly higher, this demonstrates that this valuable resource is not being used as efficiently as it could be.

Doing more with what we have primarily means finding new engineering solutions. Examples of work already done in this area include the Napier University research project, which looked at how to produce cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels from lower strength grade C16 British timber. Another example is the use of small section oak and larch to form the gridshell roof structure of the Savill Building in Windsor Great Park, all of which was harvested from trees within the grounds of the Crown Estate. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

Future innovations are likely to include the use of 3D-printed components manufactured from wood-fibre biocomposites, particularly for spare parts. This not only reduces the embodied carbon, but also reduces waste production, as only the raw materials required for the part are used, and stock required to be held by merchants, reducing warehouse space and delivery miles. Such innovations must be publicised to ensure they are picked up by industry in good time before a problem with supply arises.
nothing for insects, fungi and bacteria to feed on, along with converting the components in the wood that hold onto water into those that hold less water. This process means that nondurable hardwood species, such as ash and sycamore, can be converted into a durable product reaching class 1 or 2 durability. These species should therefore easily last 30 years in external above-ground applications, and with good detailing possibly up to the 60 years indicated for external cladding materials. However, these products are not suitable for structural building elements, so other alternatives to treatment will need to be used for these applications.
Maintaining timber in place for longer Existing timber must be maintained for longer, particularly in buildings and other long-term use structures. The diagram below shows what the service life of typical building components should be aiming for.

An alternative to thermal modification is the acetylation process pioneered by Accsys Technologies in their Accoya® products, where certain softwood timbers are in effect pickled in an industrial vinegar. This has a similar effect to the thermal modification process, making the wood unpalatable to insects, fungi and bacteria. This has resulted in Accoya® products in external above-ground applications, such as windows and doors, being guaranteed for 50 years, with an expected lifespan much longer than this. This means these products are likely to last at least the 60-year period required for the external skin of a building.

Traditionally, to make timber last longer, durable species have been sourced from the UK or overseas, or non-durable species of softwood timber have been chemically treated with hazardous heavy metals such as copper and chromium. However, due to the cost of durable hardwood timbers, and restrictions on the use of the chemical treatments and issues with reuse and disposal at end of life, other innovative solutions are being considered. One such solution is the thermal modification of timber. The process involves heating the timber to temperatures in excess of 200°C with the addition of steam, which results in the sugars and resins within the wood being cooked off, leaving

the timber does not take on too much moisture before the structure is watertight, and also to allow escape of any moisture that is taken on. There also needs to be good access to areas where timber could be affected by water, such as in toilet and bathroom areas.
Designing for flexibility, deconstruction and disassembly For these structures to remain relevant, they must be flexible enough to be reconfigured to suit the current user’s needs. This could include the incorporation of float-out wall panels that can open up or close down spaces within a building. It could also mean the incorporation of access panels to provide access for services maintenance. At end of life, all components of the building need to be dismantled with the intention that they are refurbished as required and reused, or sent for remanufacture into new components. This may mean the use of, for example, quick release connections, such as Sherpa connections for structural timbers, which can be lifted off; or the use of innovative joints installed in products during manufacture, such as the Kährs Woodloc© 5S system, which allows the floor to be dismantled (although something as simple as the use of screws rather than nails for fixing cladding materials would also suffice).
For example, a removable wood flooring system could be provided on a service contract over a defined period, with the manufacturer also providing a cleaning and maintenance service throughout this period. When the service contract period is completed, the flooring could be removed, refurbished as required, and leased out on a service contract to another client. Another example could be the long-term lease of a component that needs little or no servicing, such as a partition wall system. The wall system would need to be flexible enough to be used in various locations, both on the original site of installation or other similar buildings, where the nominal floor to ceiling height was within a defined tolerance. The manufacturer could then control the installation and removal, and any subsequent refurbishment or remanufacture before being leased to another client.
Conclusion There is already much innovation in the timber product industry with many products already in place that could easily adapt to a circular economy model. Therefore there is clearly scope for timber product manufacturers to move to a circular economy business model, but this will require a change in the way products are marketed to the construction industry, as well as education and an acceptance of these business models by clients. n
About the author
Recycling timber, which in most cases actually means downcycling (breaking it down into its component elements or materials), should only be considered where maintenance, reuse or remanufacture are not viable options over the life of the building or product.
Business models To facilitate the take up of the above options, changes in business models will be required. Where components are to be recovered for reuse, refurbishment or remanufacture at the end of their service life, it would be beneficial if the ownership remained with the component supplier. This allows them to control any required maintenance on the component to ensure it remains in use for the required service life, and also the recovery of the component at the end of its service life. There are various business models that could be used for timber products, and the one used would depend on the intended service life of the component, and the level of maintenance required throughout this life. Possible business models that could be considered are short-term hire, longerterm leasing, service contracts or incentivised return in addition to, or preferably instead of, standard sales contracts. www.trada.co.uk

“When you look at the impact of new construction over the next 30 years to 2050, the role of building materials is significantly more important than building operations by up to nine times the emissions.”
A
t a time when climate change is at a critical level, the construction industry is faced with intense speculation as to its approach when reducing environmental impact in new buildings. It is essential that architects and others involved in designing the built environment tackle this challenge head on. When it comes to ensuring net zero carbon buildings, timber plays a key role.
Achieving low-carbon construction What do we mean when we say low-carbon design or ‘net zero carbon buildings’? The UK Green Building Council1 splits the definition up into two sections: • construction • operational energy. This is an important distinction, as currently UK Building Regulations only focus on operational energy through Part L requirements, which themselves are nowhere near stringent enough. Although approximately 28%2 of global carbon dioxide emissions come from building operations, a further 11% comes from building material and construction often referred to as ‘embodied carbon’ or, as a recent trend has defined it, ‘upfront emissions’. When you look at the impact of new construction over the next 30 years to 2050, the role of building materials is significantly more important than building operations by up to nine times the emissions. Timber is a low-carbon material: it is a natural product, needs minimal processing and refinement to make into a usable building material, and can lock up carbon in the building through ‘carbon sequestration’ – which is why it is sometimes thought of as carbon negative. But, even if this last aspect is not accounted for, timber still has significantly lower embodied carbon than alternative building materials, such as concrete, steel, brick or blockwork.3 >> www.trada.co.uk

Education strategy
Reduce
Architype has developed a detailing strategy using timber to ensure that building designs achieve the highest thermal performance on education projects. The system uses deep timber I-joists or Larsen trusses on the outside of the timber frame or cross-laminated timber (CLT) structure, which can then be filled with cellulose (recycled newspaper) to form an envelope with no thermal bridges and minimal temperature loss / gain through the envelope. These requirements reduce heating demand by 90%4 compared to typical new-build schools and help to meet the Passivhaus standard, which ultimately aims to minimise operational energy.
As Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe is often quoted: ‘less is more’. The simple elegance of CLT and timber facilitates both architectural design and decarbonisation targets.
Timber also has many other environmental benefits besides lowering carbon. The research into biophilia has shown that being surrounded by nature can benefit health and well-being. It can provide great aesthetics, and being surrounded by the beauty of nature and natural materials puts us at ease, lowering stress levels and other well-being indictors.5 This is essential in educational buildings, where lower stress and being at ease assists in retention of information and learning. UK construction’s best strategy to reduce the embodied carbon of education buildings is: • reduce • redesign • reuse. www.trada.co.uk
CLT and timber are great as finished products and require little covering other than fire treatment and/or protection from the elements. They were used to great effect at Harris Academy, Sutton (Figure 2), with exposed CLT ceilings (to floors and roofs) and approximately half of the structural internal walls. Minimising material use has the added benefit of reducing costs and carbon emissions from repair and maintenance, something that is a high cost factor in education buildings.
Minimise concrete CLT has a higher strength to weight ratio than solid concrete. Moreover, 1m3 of concrete weighs approximately 2.7 tonnes, while 1m3 of CLT weighs 400kg.6 Reducing the weight of the superstructure means that foundations can be significantly reduced, which saves both money and carbon. Architype’s timber educational buildings generally have no piled foundations; they can be installed on a minimal concrete raft, with insulated formwork. Similarly, the lightweight nature of timber means that it is possible to expand existing facilities without adding new foundations, such as the rooftop extension at The Gower School, a Montessori school in London. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

Redesign Flexibility is a critical part of a functioning circular economy, as this allows buildings to be reused and adapted by others over time, rather than being used for a single purpose and then discarded. Careful spatial planning combined with modern timber structural solutions that can easily span 6m to 8m allow this. Timber is advantageous as it is the best material for simple adaptation on site – cutting holes and adjusting is much simpler and easier than with steel or concrete. The Harris Academy, Sutton, has CLT floor slabs supported by a glulam external frame and a structural corridor wall. This design allows rooms to be bounded by non-structural partitions that can be removed or added to as the teaching pedagogy changes over time. Additionally, the main structure of prefabricated CLT panels screwed or bolted together allows for design disassembly or replacement rather than waste; the building could be disassembled and rebuilt elsewhere.
Choice of materials Where possible, locally sourced materials should take priority, as this substantially reduces emissions from transportation, as well as increasing sustainable employment in the local area. For the Enterprise Centre at The University of East Anglia (Figures 1 and 4) a materials map was devised at competition stage to evaluate what local products could be used (Figure 3). In the end 80% of the structural timber frame came from Thetford Forest, and the columns to the front were larch from the Brandon Estate, Suffolk. The cladding was Yeoman wheat straw thatch, grown and harvested locally, and the clerestory roofs were clad in Norfolk reed. Similarly, in the design for Burry Port School in Carmarthenshire, the timber came from locally sourced forests. The timber frame consisted of Welsh/borders larch; the Brettstapel was sourced largely from Welsh woodland, 90% Sitka spruce and 10% Douglas fir. Beech was specified for the hardwood dowels and cladding from untreated Welsh/UK-grown larch.7 >>

Reuse
About the author
Many redundant materials were reused in the construction of the Enterprise Centre at the University of East Anglia: • The timber cladding on the west facade was made from old Iroko laboratory desks that had been sitting in storage for many years, and were simply cut and planed to form a beautiful facade. • Coppiced timber screens,8 that had been used in the Sensing Spaces: Architecture Reimagined exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in 2014, were repurposed into dividing screens in the open space ground floor. • Spare furniture was used, rather than building new – this included the reception desk from the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts at University of East Anglia (as due to popularity a larger one was needed), as well as most of the seating and furniture in the upstairs pods.
Conclusion The Government has promised funding for school refurbishments and to create one million new school places by 2020. The operational and embodied carbon of buildings can be radically reduced through the use of timber, without impacting on the design quality of the building. Future building design will have a choice between designing from materials, such as timber, that allow the building to be grown consuming mainly sunlight and the carbon that we are trying to limit, or materials that require unsustainable and often irreversible damage to the Earth’s natural capital. n

“In the future, buildings need to be more resilient to an ever-changing climate. This means designing properties that can better resist flooding or high winds, creating homes that won’t overheat in warmer summers.”
T
he world is heating up. Since the turn of the 20th Century, the average temperature of the Earth’s surface has risen by 0.9°C, with most of the warming occurring in the past 35 years.1 This warming has destabilised the natural environment, causing sea ice and glaciers to melt, sea levels to rise and shifting global precipitation.
Not only is it getting warmer, extreme weather conditions such as storms and flooding are becoming increasingly regular occurrences in the UK, with hurricanes and severe drought affecting other areas of the globe. These changing weather patterns are having an effect on wildlife populations too, with the populations of many mammals, birds and insects decreasing, while others such as ticks and mosquitos are multiplying. In November 2016 the Paris Agreement2 came into force. Signed by almost 200 countries, the agreement aims to limit the global temperature rise during this century to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Under this agreement, each country must determine, plan and regularly report on the contribution that it undertakes to mitigate global warming. To help achieve this, the UK has committed to reducing its carbon emissions to net zero by 2050, but climate scientists insist that this will be far too late. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has warned that we have just over a decade to limit this global warming to a maximum of 1.5°C to avoid climate breakdown. Ways to do this include: • reducing the amount of fossil fuels burned for transport and heating • reducing the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere through our industrial and manufacturing processes • switching to renewable energy sources • insulating our homes better • reducing the amount of animal products consumed • offsetting any emissions with reforestation through sustained and well-managed tree planting.
The construction industry and climate change According to the Technology Strategy Board, the construction industry is responsible for 45% of the UK’s carbon emissions. Around 80% of those emissions are from buildings in use.3 This great responsibility also presents a huge opportunity. >> www.trada.co.uk

The industry is uniquely placed to help achieve the UK’s emissions targets by: • building and retrofitting better-insulated homes and offices • choosing sustainable, locally sourced materials • using renewable energy • implementing passive methods of heating and ventilation where possible.
Designed by Platform 5 Architects, Backwater on the Norfolk Broads is a stick-built timber frame superstructure built on top of a dry deck, with the house raised on piles to accommodate changing water levels. The highly insulated building shell was designed to deliver exceptional levels of airtightness, with a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system provided to minimise heat loss through ventilation.
To help the UK transition to a net zero built environment, the UK Green Building Council has launched its multi-year Advancing Net Zero4 programme, focusing on a range of activities and initiatives to help the industry meet this challenge. In the future, buildings will need to be more resilient to an ever-changing climate. This means designing properties that can better resist flooding or high winds, creating homes that won’t overheat in warmer summers, and implementing proper ventilation to ensure buildings are more naturally resistant to fungi and pests.
Keeping the floodwater at bay One way to ensure that our homes do not flood is to avoid building on low-lying land and flood plains. That said, with more extreme weather conditions, areas previously not considered a flood risk can become liable to flooding and, with rising sea levels and shrinking available land for use, adopting designs that work with the water may be the answer. In his book The Modern Timber House in the UK,5 Peter Wilson outlines some houses that have been designed to resist flooding. Examples include Backwater (Figure 1) and The Redshank (Figure 2).
Figure 2: The Redshank – Lisa Shell Architects. Photo: Helene Binet
The Redshank is a spaceship-like structure located in the flat coastal landscape near Clacton-on-Sea in Essex. Perched on three elliptical steel legs to raise it above the floodwater, the superstructure is made from cross-laminated timber (CLT), which forms the floor, walls and roof, with no need for any interior decoration. It is clad in non-hazardous and biodegradable cork, adding to the environmental benefits of using a low embodied carbon material such as CLT. There is also a TRADA Wood Information Sheet available on timber frame design for flood-prone sites.6
Creating a healthy indoor environment Resilience is not only about protecting homes from changes in climate; it is also about providing environments that enable occupants to be more resilient to stress. As we now spend 90% of our time indoors, the quality of our indoor environment is paramount. Building Biology is the concept of creating and maintaining a healthy indoor living environment. The Institute of Building Biology and Sustainability7 sets out 25 building principles across five areas: 1. Healthy indoor air 2. Thermal and acoustic comfort 3. Human-based design 4. Sustainable environmental performance 5. Socially connected and ecologically sound communities.

www.trada.co.uk
The benefits of using timber and natural materials to improve physical and mental well-being and reduce stress are welldocumented and can help to meet many of the Building Biology principles, from healthy indoor air quality through to minimising energy consumption and using sustainably sourced materials. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

Meeting low carbon targets for homes According to the UK Committee on Climate Change (CCC), the 29 million existing homes across the UK must be made: • low carbon • low energy • resilient to climate change. All new homes must also follow this criteria, with the addition of being water efficient.
Figure 3: Marmalade Lane – Mole Architects. Photo: David Butler
Designed by Mole Architects, Cambridge’s first co-housing development, Marmalade Lane (Figure 3), is a collection of contemporary townhouses designed to meet near-Passivhaus standards. Built from a closed timber panel construction system, the panels offer high standards of insulation and airtightness, significantly reducing the amount of energy used to heat the homes. Created and run by its residents, the co-housing community is a communal environment with shared resources.
To help meet these aspirations, the UK Government has recently committed to a new ‘future homes standard’, which states that, from 2025 at the latest, no new homes will be connected to the gas grid. Instead they should: • be heated through low-carbon sources • have ultra-high levels of energy efficiency alongside appropriate ventilation • where possible, be timber framed. Unfortunately, new buildings often underperform when it comes to energy efficiency in comparison to the expectations defined at the design stage. This is known as the ‘building performance gap’. On average, traditional new-build homes use 60% to 80% more energy for heating than their design target. One approach to help address the building performance gap is Passivhaus, which, according to the Passivhaus Trust,8 achieves a 75% reduction in space heating requirements, compared to standard practice for UK new builds. The benefits of Passivhaus performance include: • improved indoor air quality • thermal comfort • self-maintained moisture and humidity levels.

Goldsmith Street (Figure 4 ) in Norwich, winner of the 2019 Stirling Prize, is the largest social housing Passivhaus scheme in the UK. Designed by Mikhail Riches, the development provides 100 timber frame homes, a mix of houses and flats for individuals and families. As a low-carbon scheme, the award-winning design provides light-filled homes with low fuel bills for social rent. www.trada.co.uk
Passivhaus is about airtightness and breathability, so choosing the right insulation material is key. Wood fibre insulation is a good option as the natural fibres help to prevent overheating in summer. Homes built to Passivhaus standards use heat recovery ventilation systems to heat the incoming fresh air with heat from the outgoing stale air – due to their design, they are also ideally suited to hotter weather as while remaining warm in winter, they also remain cool in the summer. Homes designed to Passivhaus standards often benefit from increased space and daylight, too. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

Timber as the material of choice As well as ensuring that we significantly reduce the amount of energy used once our homes are built, another way to help combat climate change is to choose construction materials that are low carbon, a carbon store, reusable or recyclable, creating a circular economy. Recent reports show that materials such as cement in concrete contribute up to 8% of total global carbon emissions.9 Therefore, choosing materials such as timber (which sequesters carbon) as a primary construction material helps fight against carbon emissions. Materials such as concrete and steel will continue to be used, but using timber as part of a hybrid structure can help to offset the negative effects. Choosing timber as a building material may seem counter to the need to reforest the planet. However, sourcing timber from sustainably managed forests helps ensure that enough trees are grown and the biodiversity of forests is maintained. There is no one quick fix to tackling the climate crisis. It is a shared responsibility for all parts of society. With enough political and industry will, the construction sector is ideally placed to rapidly implement some radical changes that will have a significant impact. The timber industry has a key role to play. A ‘timber first’ approach to building, coupled with thoughtful design, can start to make a difference immediately. n www.trada.co.uk

Timber design pioneers: MMC needs a long-term vision In 2019, Urban Splash announced a £90m deal that would bring Japan’s biggest housebuilder – Sekisui House – to the UK, helping the developer create more modular timber homes. Chris Shaw talks through the adoption of modular and plans for the future.

“The customisable element of Town House remains an important factor – customers don’t want identikit red boxes – and, crucially, individual specifications are deliverable in a factory environment.”
U
rban Splash started developing timber homes using modular techniques in 2012, working with Liverpoolbased architects shedkm and off-site construction partners SIG (formerly Insulshell) to create a prototype modular home for the family housing market. Initially, we were looking at traditional construction, but then turned to modern methods of construction (MMC). We began thinking about pioneering something new; perhaps a modern take on a Victorian terraced house for urban and suburban sites across the country? The team began work on a panelised model (which comes in pieces and is erected on site) and then, working with SIG, switched to fully volumetric (each storey is built off site and dropped in).
Using modern methods of construction In 2016, after years of R&D and design iterations, Urban Splash brought the first 43 homes to market at New Islington in Manchester under the ‘House by Urban Splash’ brand. Core to that is ‘Town House’, which offers customers an adaptable design template by which they determine the layout of their home – and whether they want to live in a 1,000 sq ft two-storey property or a 1,500 sq ft three-storey property. The customisable element of Town House remains an important factor – customers don’t want identikit red boxes – and, crucially, individual specifications are deliverable in a factory environment. To date, we have created more than 200 of those bespoke homes for customers at: • New Islington in Manchester • Irwell Riverside in Salford • 24 Town Houses at Smith’s Dock in North Shields • Port Loop in Birmingham. There were challenges introducing them to the market: from creating an attainable yet sustainable product, to helping the first customers secure mortgages on an untried home.
The industry’s wake-up call In 2016, the construction industry was encouraged to sit up and listen when it came to modular; that year’s release of >> www.trada.co.uk

The numbers are impressive. Sekisui has delivered more than two million modular homes, with around 15,000 customisable individual homes developed every year and, by using advanced solar panel technology, Sekisui House has now built 44,000 zero carbon homes. That scalability, and the deal, means that Urban Splash can now take a long-term view.
What modular still needs However, the industry’s grasp of modular and MMC isn’t quite there yet and the private sector cannot revolutionise alone. The Government, through Homes England, has realised that it needs to be a catalyst. MMC needs public sector coercion and support, otherwise it will be vulnerable to market fluctuations and any type of downturn. It needs long-term vision. New Islington. Photo: Jack Hobhouse
Mark Farmer’s Modernise or Die1 report was a big moment for the sector, calling for radical changes in the wake of severe traditional construction skills shortages.
Scaling up Many industry experts believed that ownership of the supply chain would enable more effective operations and control quality. Urban Splash acquired SIG in 2018, with its 85-employee modular factory in Alfreton in the East Midlands, which helped to take over management of the production line. It means more is known about exactly what is needed so materials can be used in the best way, calculating and ordering to precise specifications – making for less waste and a more efficient process.
The industry is still lacking in its adoption of modular and timber homes; industry statistics show that just 10% of homes are created off site in the UK – meaning there is still a way to go, especially when you read that countries such as Sweden have advanced to 45% of homes created off site. On their arrival in the UK market, Sekisui House was surprised that the UK industry was so out-dated and that there was a housing crisis. In Japan the output of homes is enormous and the technology is advanced. The relationship with Sekisui allows more investment in R&D – ensuring that new ways are found to adapt products and keep these houses at the forefront of the industry. n
About the author
Managing production also means delivery can be aggregated, scheduling bulk deliveries of houses to site – meaning less traffic on the roads. Then there are advantages on the site itself, where the lorries turn up for one day to crane houses in, reducing congestion and disruption for people living in and around site. In 2019, we finalised a £90m deal with Sekisui House and Homes England, which will help to scale up the creation of modular homes in the UK. The deal was more than two years in the making, during which time the team visited Japan twice and visited two of Sekisui’s factories to witness an incredible setup. The company’s 750,000 sq ft R&D institute in Osaka features a two-storey earthquake simulator reaching 7.7 on the Richter scale.

Timber structures Off-site construction
Can off-site education increase productivity and address the skills shortage? Dr Mila Duncheva examines some of the productivity issues facing the construction industry and how off-site timber construction can help.
T
he construction industry is exacerbated by a skills shortage, stagnating productivity with as much of 57% of labour time unused1 – all under the pressure to create more sustainable urban environments. Add into the mix the wider issue around availability of land,2 sprinkle in some ‘snagging list’ items, shake until the project is at least 30% behind schedule. Thus, the business-as-usual cocktail starts to be synonymous with ‘a sick, or even a dying patient’, as coined by the Farmer Review.3
Why did Farmer emphasise productivity in his labour model review, and why is productivity so high on the UK Government construction agenda?
What is meant by productivity? Productivity is the ratio of a product’s input to its output. In economics books, productivity is most often associated with quality of life. The more productive a society is, the more commodities and services it can produce with lower labour input. This can be translated as not working any overtime and still making a juicy annual bonus. Unfortunately, however, the UK economy has experienced its third consecutive quarter of productivity decline, so we are working longer and achieving less.4 When it comes to construction projects, productivity is not just about labour efficiency. Construction productivity is more multifaceted, and is closely interconnected with other issues, including: • time management • quality control • the sustainability agenda. Because construction is a business, profitability and cash flow are also critical considerations when talking about productivity improvement. Among the productivity measures, therefore, total or multi-factor productivity is the most suitable to capture complex changes in productivity including technological changes.5 Productivity measurement is all about people and how we collectively drive the economy. www.trada.co.uk

The UK construction industry’s productivity performance Over the past two decades many construction report authors have criticised construction productivity and suggested improvement strategies – from Latham’s recommendation to improve financial productivity by 30%,6 through Egan’s target to reduce defects by 20% per year,7 to the Construction 2025 goal of reducing time on site, among others. Unfortunately the statistics demonstrate that these targets have not been achieved, as construction productivity performance has stagnated. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

The McKinsey Institute presented the ‘size of the prize’ for productivity improvement in construction as £1.6 trillion measured as total productivity.8 Yet how can productivity be improved? Increased use of manufacturing and digitisation through off-site construction methods have been proposed as strategies, where a part of the process is transferred to a controlled factory environment. WPI Economics calculated that if, for example, 25% of work in construction was to be undertaken off site, £5.5bn of gross value added (GVA) could be achieved in regions outside of London by 2025.9 Based on WPI’s results and other sources, Figure 2 shows the potential for multifaceted productivity improvement in construction through higher uptake of off-site construction. Intertwined with these statistics is the carbon agenda, where off-site timber construction, and mass timber in particular, offer opportunities for carbon sequestration while achieving complex architectural strategies. In homebuilding alone, 3.8 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent can be saved annually by constructing timber framed homes (19 tonnes of CO2equivalent per average home).10
Industry leaders have repeatedly reported how difficult it is to find designers capable of implementing DfMA for off-site construction at the earliest design stages, where the most value to the project can be added.17 To take the case of homebuilding in Scotland, dominated by timber frame construction, and increased numbers of projects are needed to enable companies to invest in scaling up manufacturing capacity and skills development.18 Apprenticeships will be critically important over the next few years to: • attract new trainees into the industry • up-skill existing staff • diversify the workforce. According to research by Edinburgh Napier University, the most sought-after roles for off-site construction are: • production assemblers, who need to be aware of new production technology • joiners with craftsmanship skills • architectural technologists, engineers and estimators knowledgeable in off-site construction. Disruption is necessary across the education system to inspire people to choose a career in off-site construction and mitigate these skills shortages. These are the routes through which we can enhance our human capital,19 with the skill sets necessary to progress resource-efficient off-site construction.

Underpinning this growth is necessary investment in skills different to those in traditional construction, with emphasis on Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) combined with soft skills, such as: • attention to detail • adaptability to change • working to tight deadlines.16 www.trada.co.uk
A prime example of innovation in skills for off-site construction is Edinburgh Napier University’s Built Environment Exchange (beX) programme for talent development. BeX is a platform for students with a passion for sustainable construction, with the goal of accelerating change in construction culture. BeX provides multidisciplinary students with opportunities in collaboration with other organisations such as the Construction Scotland Innovation Centre and Saltire. These include: • Master’s scholarships • international internships of 12 weeks • employability projects during their studies. Some success stories of beX were exhibited at Architecture + Design Scotland in Glasgow between 24 October 2019 and 15 January 2020, currently located at the Construction Scotland Innovation Centre. The exhibition was curated by beX scholar Carola Calcagno20 and funded by Scottish Forestry. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

In addition, through the ongoing ‘Offsite ready’ research project funded by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), interactive learning content about off-site construction will be freely available to augment existing school, college and university-level education. Seven flexible modules will be created covering the whole building life-cycle. In these, actions should culminate into a skills-driven change in productivity of the UK construction industry. Stay tuned22 to find out if these investments in skills and innovation start to push construction productivity into the ‘green’ after years of stagnation. n

Timber structures Off-site construction
Providing an in-depth look at off-site timber construction
Robert Hairstans outlines the substantially expanded second edition of Off-site and industrialised timber construction: Delivering quality and efficiency, reflecting the steady rise in interest in these methods.
O
ff-site construction is the factory production and pre-assembly of components, elements or modules before installation into their final location. Adopting an off-site approach effectively reduces the level of onsite labour intensity and delivery risk by means of premanufacture. It is based on the premise of delivering high levels of construction quality efficiently by applying lean practices and design thinking.
through a fabric-first approach – high levels of insulation and airtightness with reduced cold bridging. Timber is a truly sustainable building material and, with good silvicultural practices, trees can also improve land quality and soil fertility. Timber construction therefore conforms to the paradigm of the circular economy by means of using and embracing a design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA) approach when disassembly (DfMA+D) is also considered.
Timber and the industrialisation of timber technologies aligns well with this ethos. Timber is the ideal construction material because it:
The history of timber in construction
• is strong in both tension and compression • has a high strength-to-weight ratio • can be relatively easily worked. Timber also responds to the need for a more sustainable built environment acting as a prime carbon sink (carbon fixed from atmospheric carbon dioxide by photosynthesis), while being capable of forming high-performing building envelopes
Figure 1: Dalston Works, Hackey. Photo: Daniel Shearing / Waugh Thistleton
www.trada.co.uk
Timber as a construction material, as explained in Chapter 2 of the new edition, has evolved over the centuries and has the qualities to be a major constituent of the clean technology solutions required to sustainably deliver the built environment. Originally, however, the human race employed timber as a building material because it was available in most habitable regions of the world. The climate and conditions of the region had a bearing on the nature and species of tree growing, which subsequently influenced the end form of construction. Mechanisation, the invention of new timber products and connection methods, as well as approaches to combining timber with other materials, have seen timber being used in an unimaginable array of forms from when it was first conceived as a building material. More modern market specifics, such as procurement methods and local building regulations, have influenced the end building form and performance requirements, resulting in the need for on-going research and innovation of products and systems to ensure conformity and future-proofing. The re-engineering of timber, particularly the use of adhesive technology, in combination with quality-controlled factory environments, has redefined the boundaries for using timber in buildings. Timber engineered products can now span considerable distances, and mass timber products – such as cross-laminated timber (CLT) – are conquering new heights. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

Timber structures Off-site construction
Urbanisation and colonial expansion required efficiency and quality of product, resulting in the first major exploitation of off-site techniques, although there is also evidence of offsite concepts being used by medieval carpenters for quality assurance (QA) purposes. QA, productivity and skills were therefore some of the original drivers in the uptake of off-site methods. However, regulations, automation and digitisation, with the onset of the fourth industrial revolution – digital innovation driven by the Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Systems (IoS) – are also influencing the uptake and form of off-site and more industrialised approaches. This is being further intersected with a need to transform the culture of construction towards a more modern and inclusive sector capable of diversification, cooperation and transparency. The convergence of these drivers presents a huge opportunity for off-site and industrialised timber construction. The revised second edition explains these concepts and provides justification as to why timber is exceptionally well placed to be the material of choice for modern methods of construction (MMC) or pre-manufactured approaches. Given that both of these ideals are about better end products delivered via an efficient process, there is a need to underpin the approach with an a lternative business model geared towards whole
life value. Customer satisfaction must therefore be considered with respect to not only cost but also enhanced environmental performance, quality of product and programme certainty.
How off-site methods can be used in timber construction Client and consumer understanding of the wider benefits of off-site approaches are of paramount importance given the need to think of the wider value proposition as opposed to lowest cost, which often results in lowest quality or adversarial contractual terms of engagement leading to higher than predicted costs. Chapter 4 of the new edition explains the rationale for early engagement and partnering at the design stage. In addition, key terminologies are explained throughout the text to present a standardised language for the purposes of a consistent understanding of off-site theory. Chapter 6 demonstrates the categories and sub-categories of off-site products (panelised, modular/volumetric, hybrid and subassemblies/components) using written descriptions, photographs and schematic images. Within the off-site sub-categories, there are details on the varying levels of enhancement relative to manufacturing capability and project context (for example, >>

client requirements, logistical constraints, supply chain arrangements). The new edition also provides the history of these varying systems supplemented by numerous case study examples. There are explanations of technical performance attributes, including advantages and disadvantages. This should provide readers with an informed perspective of how these systems can be used for a given project. To provide confidence in the information, an internationally wide perspective has been taken, including contributions from other world-renowned experts in the field. The UK has also been included for enhanced contextualisation, acting as a good barometer for off-site and industrialised timber because it is a major importer, manufacturer and pioneer. It has showcased CLT through projects such as Dalston Works (Figure 1) and employs timber frame for a large proportion of its new build housing construction, particularly in Scotland where up to 85% of new houses are formed from this off-site technique. The UK construction market reflects the global trend for more environmentally efficient buildings, with an increasing emphasis on whole life cycle cost. International policies and legislation and devolved regulations, combined with enhanced client and end-user awareness, are necessitating improved fabric performance, as well as the qualified environmental credentials of the component parts. Chapter 4 presents these concepts and includes an explanation of circular economy and designing for circularity via DfMA+D. The use of timber as a sustainable form of construction is assessed and the concept of whole life cycle analysis is presented, including information on ensuring timber is sourced from sustainably managed forests.
Performance and challenges An inherent part of design is understanding how a material performs. Chapter 4 of the new edition explains the credentials of timber as a structural material, covering its structural, thermal and acoustic performance, both in isolation but also when combined with other materials as an off-site system, sub-assembly or composite component. Chapter 4 also explores the structural design considerations of timber buildings with respect to the European standard codes of practice and regulations for conformity and technical approval. The technical challenges of the industry are also considered (differential settlement, structural stability and disproportionate collapse) and, in particular, issues pertaining to fire performance are explained both theoretically and through case study analysis. This content makes a strong case for how off-site timber construction can create safe and serviceable buildings. www.trada.co.uk
The factory-based approach of off-site construction requires the implementation of industrialised approaches, both at the production and construction phases. Lean theory is critical to successful exploitation and must be applied consistently throughout the process. Chapter 5 provides the tools for applying this theory in both the factory and assembly phases. In addition, the different levels of production automation are categorised, with a view to informing the factory production set-up. Critical to this change of approach is up-skilling throughout, from factory floor to the leadership at the top given the non-traditional business model of off-site construction. Chapter 5 serves to facilitate the transfer of knowledge required for the decision-making process towards implementation – often incremental as off-site factories scale up to meet demand while evolving and standardising their approach relative to the market they serve. The publication references a multitude of sources, including regulatory documents, research outputs and case studies (Chapter 7 is dedicated to exemplary and international case study content, such as MultiPly, Figure 2) to help readers understand how these principles can be used.
Conclusion The objective of the revised publication is to demonstrate ways of delivering a more cohesive and socially, economically and environmentally sustainable industry through the application of improved business models using timber. These improved business models – which include partnering arrangements, robust product procurement strategies, material optimisation and system efficiencies – enable the industry to continually evolve and innovate through applied research and development. When these concepts are embraced, timber can readily be seen as the ideal material for a more sustainable and efficiently delivered built environment, deploying a manufacturing-based off-site approach. n

“SIPs are engineered, load-carrying, wood-based structural elements. They are lightweight for ease of on-site assembly and deliver the structural and thermal envelope of the building in one element for walls and roofs.�
S
tructurally insulated panels (SIPs) are off-site manufactured products that can be used as wall or roof elements to deliver strength, enclosure and thermal performance. While the housing market is an obvious choice for this product, the use of SIPs as an off-site building process has a strong presence in the commercial markets for schools, colleges and offices.
This article provides an overview of the prospective application of SIPs and how the product can be used by engineers and building designers for construction solutions on the broader market applications. The article highlights professional advice available to the market on the assembly of SIP framing.
Technical overview of a SIP What is a SIP? SIPs are engineered, load-carrying, wood-based structural elements. They are lightweight for ease of on-site assembly and deliver the structural and thermal envelope of the building in one element for walls and roofs. Structurally, a SIP comprises an outer layer of wood-based sheathing and is strengthened where necessary with insert timbers. The strength comes from the nature of a sandwich panel technology in combination with the structural sheathing panels. The thermal properties come from the insulation. >>

Figure 3: The use of SIPs in construction. Drawing: Structural Timber Association
SIPs are typically available in thicknesses ranging from 100mm to 285mm. They are manufactured in panel sizes up to 2.7m wide and can vary in length from 0.6m to 6m. Custom sizes are available, and some manufacturers offer curved SIPs for curved roof applications. For details of different SIPs manufacturers, refer to the STA website.
The functional applications are presented in Table 1. Applications
Function
Walls – structural
To provide vertical and horizontal strength of the building as well as thermal resistance.
Walls – curtain
As an insulated cladding panel where the external skin is designed for the appropriate weather protection. Where oriented strand board (OSB) faced products are used, secondary weather protection is required.
Walls – infill
As a prefabricated panel between post and beam or framed structures to provide thermal insulation and wind load transfer.
Roofs – structural
To provide sarking or a structural deck spanning between rafters or purlins and to serve as thermal insulation.
Roofs – infill
To act as thermal insulation on top of the main structure.
Table 1: The use of SIPs in construction
SIPs transfer loads through the facing board materials separated by the rigid insulation foam core. The shear transfer to the facing boards is uniform, and the analysis is based on the tensile or compressive stress distribution in the facing boards. There is no EN code for the specific design approach, but the European Assessment Document Guideline TR019 provides guidance for prefabricated wood-based loadbearing stressed-skin panels. Companies should provide third-party approvals for their SIPs. The Structural Timber Association (STA) website offers guidance on design for SIPs under the Technical Bulletin series. www.trada.co.uk
Figure 5: SIP walls in assembly. Photo: Innovare Ltd
Fire performance The fire performance of SIPs is achieved by the application of drylining, such as plasterboard, which protects the structural member. Some manufacturers offer SIPs with factory-fitted fireresistant boards over the top of or in place of the OSB to reduce the construction stage fire risk and provide inbuilt fire robustness. The correct specification and installation of the internal linings to both the ceiling and the wall are critical to the performance of the system in a real fire situation. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

Building envelope With airtightness, the insulation value for superior energy efficiency is required and SIPs offer a range of U-values. The fabric-first approach supports the option to specify a lower specification heating system.
Figure 6: SIPs being erected with inbuilt drylining. Photo: Innovare Ltd
As for all designs, a fire-risk assessment should be made. The fire robustness of a building is reliant on the strategy and protection being considered in the project fire risk and solution assessment. Regardless of the building material, the quality of workmanship can determine the fire resistance of a building. Junction details where walls meet ceilings and where multiple service penetrations occur require quality fire stopping regardless of the structural element’s construction type.
Figure 8: The building structure is the airtight envelope. Drawing: Structural Timber Association
Cold bridging The total heat loss expected from thermal bridging in all junctions of the building is easily measured. The cold bridging factors to include in a calculation for SIP junctions can exceed the values of accredited and enhanced construction details.
The ABC of benefits in building with SIPs The demand in offices, schools and colleges for low-energy buildings calls for the energy-saving ABC of building.
Airtightness Reduction in air permeability is achieved using the standard SIP building process allowing for airtight barriers at floor junctions. The process of forming structural joints in the panels, tapes and floor zone membranes that are included in designs enable the frame to achieve passive standard air leakage where needed. High performing values 1.5m3/m2hr at 50 pascals are commonly achieved.

www.trada.co.uk
One of the key benefits of an off-site construction process is realised by the speed and quality of delivery of premanufactured factory panels to the assembly of the building. The STA has an assembly workbook for SIPs buildings. The workbook acts as a training tool to raise the quality of erectors and provides increased confidence for customers of SIP buildings. On completion, the workbooks require the candidate to pass a test before being accepted as an STA Assure erector; and every company under the STA banner requires at least twothirds of the erector workforce to have STA Assure status. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

An example of commercial application for SIPs The use of an airtight and thermally efficient panel to provide the envelope around concrete or steel-framed structures is being increasingly employed by designers to deliver projects. One example is the £10m Centre for Advanced Building Technology at Dudley College. The project had a strategic design brief for Passivhaus levels of insulation. The need for an airtight envelope with high levels of thermal insulation values prompted the design team to seek solutions. The benefits of pre-assembled SIPs that could be wrapped around the steel and concrete frame was realised in this build. n

“As energy sources are set to decarbonise, and with tighter building regulations in terms of building performance, the focus is being drawn towards the significant potential for implementing climate change mitigation actions by choosing construction materials with the lowest environmental impact.”
S
ome indicators suggest that the beginning of the third decade of this millennium will be remembered by many practitioners in the built environment industry as the moment when mass timber broke into the mainstream of high-rise construction. Standout projects have been constructed recently, which suggests that some of the cultural and code challenges are being overcome. In addition, industry and government entities in North America have signalled their commitment to increasing the use of mass timber in construction.
Mjøstårnet A significant construction milestone was hit in March 2019, when the 18-storey Mjøstårnet building was completed in Brumunddal, Norway. The mixed-use building, at 85.4 metres, is now the world’s tallest timber building, verified by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH). The previous record had been held by Treet, also in Norway, at 49 metres. The design concept of Mjøstårnet was inspired by the Paris Agreement to combat climate change and began as an idea to reduce carbon dioxide emissions while sustainably sourcing construction materials locally. All key structural components of Mjøstårnet are composed of engineered timber, using glued laminated timber (glulam) for beams and columns and cross-laminated timber (CLT) for the core walls containing the building’s elevator and stairway shafts. The glulam columns were fabricated with pre-drilled holes and assembled on-site into vertical trusses of up to five floors in height, providing stability to horizontal and vertical forces. Floor slabs for levels 11 and below are also crafted from timber beams, topped with laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and a thin 50mm layer of concrete for acoustical and vibrational performance, while levels 12 and above have floor slabs fully composed of concrete to increase weight and achieve the desired dynamic behaviour in periods of strong winds. Mjøstårnet is appropriately located in an area of Norway known for its forestry and wood-processing industry, and sits just metres away from Mjøsa, the country’s largest lake. >> www.trada.co.uk

According to the revised criteria for timber structures: ‘ … both the main vertical/lateral structural elements and the floor spanning system must be constructed from timber. An “all-timber” structure may include the use of localized nontimber connections between timber elements. A building of timber construction with a floor system of concrete planks, or concrete slab on top of timber beams, is still considered a “timber” structure, as the concrete elements are not acting as the primary structure.’
Industry standards and government support in North America Mjøstårnet. Photo: Moelven / Nina Rundsveen
Wood was chosen as the structural material due to recent advancements in the field of mass timber – particularly following the increased availability of large glulam and CLT structural elements. Notably, wood is also the world’s only truly renewable building material, as it sequesters carbon throughout its life cycle.
At industry level in North America, the Think Wood campaign (a collaboration between the Softwood Lumber Board (SLB), WoodWorks – Wood Products Council, American Wood Council and Canadian Wood Council) has gained ground over the past year. Its activities included the publication of its CLT Handbook, establishment of a research library, and coprogramming a Timber Rising track at the CTBUH 2019 World Congress2 in Chicago. This track featured presentations by senior representatives of the US Forest Service, SLB, >>
Moelven Limitre, the project’s structural engineer, supplied glulam columns, beams and diagonals, and CLT elevator shafts, stairs and floor slabs. The company was also responsible for the direct installation of the wooden structures in the building.
Updates to CTBUH Height Criteria The designation coincided with the amendment of CTBUH Height Criteria1 – the official guidelines upon which tall buildings are measured – to include timber as a recognised structural material. The update was prompted by the recent uptick of tall timber buildings currently under construction or in planning around the world, and the interest of involved stakeholders and the general public in defining what truly constitutes a structural timber system. www.trada.co.uk

Wood Products Council, and a number of academic experts, architecture, construction and engineering professionals involved in tall timber projects. According to Think Wood,3 code authorities are responding to the growing demand in the marketplace for safety standards that can suit commercial needs. ‘In response to growing support for taller timber structures throughout the United States, the International Code Council4 approved 14 changes to the International Building Code (IBC) in early 2019, permitting mass timber construction up to 270 feet (~80 metres). Similarly, Canada is also making changes to its building code, opening up new opportunities for taller wood designs.’ Other recent and anticipated near-term code updates include: • Oregon modified its building code in 2018 to permit tall building construction up to 18 storeys. • Washington State has taken a similar step, effective in spring 2019. • As of spring 2019, British Columbia became the first Canadian province to allow timber construction up to 12 storeys. • Backed by expert opinions and testing, the ICC will introduce a new building code in 2021 that will help streamline and standardise tall wood construction.

Timber structures Fire
When extinction is a good thing: fire in mass timber buildings Even among experienced developers and engineers, the performance of mass timber buildings in fire is a sensitive and often misunderstood topic. Wojtek Serwatka summarises the current state of knowledge in the industry regarding self-extinction in mass timber structures and its relation to overall fire safety strategy.
W
hat comes to mind when you hear the term ‘extinction’? If you were a search engine, you’d probably summon up images of post-apocalyptic desert land, sun-dried bones or even poor artworks of dinosaurs. In no way does it appear as a desirable scenario. However, fire engineers not only wish for extinction, but also relentlessly search for methods to design for it.
This article draws on the ‘Fire Safety Challenges of Tall Wood Buildings’ research project conducted by National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) in collaboration with National Research Council (NRC) Canada, Research Institute of Sweden (RISE) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
analytical and numerical analysis in fire engineering is based on evaluation of compartment fire dynamics. A typical compartment fire goes through three stages: • growth • fully developed • decay. Most importantly, every real fire eventually runs out of fuel and will self-extinguish.
Compartment fire One of the principal methods used in fire strategies to ensure safety in buildings is compartmentation. It is especially important in high-rise residential buildings, where a defend-in-place policy is often implemented. In this strategy, firefighters must enter the building and fight the fire from within, while the occupants are waiting in their flats for an evacuation cue once the fire is contained. Fire-fighting operations and limitations in simultaneous evacuation of the occupants are the reasons why many regulatory frameworks do not permit inclusion of combustible materials within the building structure or external envelope above a certain height. If the effects of the fire can be confined to one compartment, and sufficient protection or redundancy is ensured to the affected structural members, the fire will not endanger occupants nor affect the integrity of the building. Based on this principle, the majority of www.trada.co.uk

However, the use of mass timber changes many assumptions traditionally used in the assessment of compartment fire dynamics. Studies 2,5,10,11 have shown that the use of exposed (or inadequately protected) mass timber panels results in a steeper growth phase, with flashover occurring earlier than the baseline, and in many cases continuing burning after all compartment fuel load has been consumed. Prolonged burning also increases the exposure time of the facade to the effects of the fire. Therefore the methods developed for conventional materials, and the assumption that they do not contribute to the fire load, no longer apply for mass timber buildings. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

in a compartment with exposed timber surfaces, either by design or failure in protection, can remain in a continuous, fully developed stage or re-intensify during a decay phase.2 Assessing the fire safety for mass timber compartments solely in terms of fire resistance periods in a direct sense (ie the compartment resists fire for X minutes) would be a sign of a faulty fire protection strategy.

Burn-out The UK Building Regulations set out a series of requirements for the fire safety of buildings. Unlike other countries, the UK requirements tend to set a performance goal, rather than defining a prescriptive route to achieving it. However, these requirements are often vague and inconclusive:
In full-scale compartment tests, it is found that, for large areas of exposed CLT surfaces, timber’s contribution to the total heat release rate can exceed that of a fuel load (10MW baseline value for tests presented in Figure 1). However, a higher heat release rate does not necessarily pose a great issue for fire engineers – the structure and separation measures can be designed to cope with a more severe fire. The real question is: ‘Will the timber structure self-extinguish or continue to burn?’3
‘The building shall be designed and constructed so that, in the event of the fire, its stability will be maintained for the reasonable period.’ (Part B Fire Safety, Schedule 1, Building Regulations 2010) The question that immediately follows is: what is ‘reasonable’? To answer this question, one must understand what the regulator is trying to enforce: a design for burn-out. The modern fire rating system stems from ‘Post-war building studies no. 20’. The document recommends one-, two- and four-hour resistance periods for various types of buildings or occupancies. The period of required fire resistance was based on an anticipated fuel load and the longest possible duration of the fire event. Using this approach results in an indefinite fire resistance of the structure, as it can withstand the most severe fire anticipated until all fire load is burned-out.1 The concept of burn-out is embedded within the current Building Regulations and Approved Document B (ADB). The required fire resistance period given in Appendix B to ADB (for example, 60 minutes or 90 minutes) are historically derived from estimates for the lengths of time it takes for all combustible content to be consumed, and the fire self-extinguishes. The idea of achieving a resistance to burn-out is very powerful, as this (among other conditions) establishes that the building is safe for various activities associated with a fire strategy: defend-in-place policy, prolonged evacuation or safe fire-fighting from the inside of the building. To use the concept of burn-out in mass timber buildings, one must prove that a compartment does not behave inherently differently to those in conventional buildings. However, a fire www.trada.co.uk

Feedback loop In isolation, timber typically undergoes self-extinction as the energy balance is tilted towards heat losses. However, the presence of an external heat flux can create a self-propelling feedback loop between engaged timber members. This can lead to continuous burning much longer than an anticipated duration of the fire indicated by Approved Document B. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

Ventilation opening and facade exposure A smaller opening size results in an under-ventilated fire with lower temperatures inside the compartment. In contrast, a larger opening leads to an increased burning rate and earlier fire decay, inflicting a shorter yet more intense fire impact on structural timber. Increasing a ventilation opening eventually leads to a fully fuel-controlled fire and further increase in size does not change the compartment temperatures.5 A larger ventilation opening also results in a more intense exposure of the external envelope to fire due to increased convective heat losses. Post-fire loadbearing capacity The mechanical properties of timber change at elevated temperatures, long before pyrolysis or combustion occurs. At 200°C, the material has already lost 85% of its ambient loadbearing capacity (Figure 6). Because timber is a poor heat conductor, with prolonged heating in fire conditions, the temperature (and thus mechanical properties) will vary across the depth. Figure 4: Feedback between exposed wall and ceiling CLT panels. Source: Entuitive, after Law (2019)1
Delamination The feedback loop and increased burning can also be created by a single panel. If delamination occurs, it becomes an external heat flux to the rest of the member. In fact, delamination was identified as one of the main causes of a secondary flashover in timber compartments during full-scale tests.3 More rigorous standards for the fire performance of adhesives used in engineered timber products are being introduced in the US.4 New adhesives and stricter regulation will likely solve the delamination problem in the future and allow designers to treat CLT as monolithic. However, these standards are not yet in place worldwide.
Figure 6: Reduction of mechanical properties of timber with temperature. Source: BSI (2009)6
Post-fire loadbearing capacity of timber members must be accounted for in the design process. Timber members may still experience reduction in properties for some time after the fire has gone out, as heat penetrates to the previously unaffected core of the members.
Figure 5: Delamination can be a cause of a secondary flashover. Source: Entuitive
Certain orientations of exposed CLT panels are more susceptible to not reaching self-extinction: large exposed surfaces in small compartments or exposed corners (wall to wall or wall to ceiling). Furthermore, the compartment fire dynamics are heavily influenced by the size and position of the ventilation opening (and therefore the availability of oxygen necessary for combustion).

Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook
When the duration and intensity of the fire (including the contribution from mass timber) is known, the temperature profile across the load-bearing member can be evaluated with a finite difference method.
Design solutions A common design solution implemented in mass timber buildings is encapsulating the timber entirely in plasterboard, thus protecting the timber surface from reaching 200°C (the onset of thermal decomposition7). The time to reach that threshold shall be longer than the duration of the fire.
Timber structures Fire
Installation of plasterboard protection can be very effective in avoiding a significant change in the compartment fire dynamics, allowing the standard design procedures for concrete or steel buildings to be followed. However, as with any protection method, it can fail if the specification, material or installation method is faulty. Stakeholders often seek to expose part of the timber structure, as it is visually pleasing and results in a warm, welcoming space. Issues arising with exposed structural timber in buildings do not mean the designer cannot seek to expose some timber. The question here remains ‘what is the safe threshold?’ – in other words, how much exposed timber is ‘too much’?
Thicken laminates In large compartments with a relatively small area of timber exposed, the risk of a feedback loop created by an interaction between smouldering panels is decreased. However, a secondary flashover can still occur due to an external heat flux on the structural panel originating from delaminated layers of CLT.3
evaluated. On a global, compartment scale the heat balance can be expressed with the following equation:1
Where: q̇ ”FB – feedback per unit area q̇ c – energy released due to combustion q̇ w – energy lost through walls q̇ rad – energy lost through the opening by radiation q̇ conv – energy lost through the opening by convection Aw – area of the walls
Figure 8: Compartment fire dynamics – macro-scale energy balance. Source: Entuitive, after Law (2019)1
Figure 7: Thicker outer laminates can add a layer of protection and redundancy in the overall fire safety strategy. Source: Entuitive
The designer can establish a condition in which the entire fire load in the compartment has combusted and the char line has not yet reached the first glueline by increasing the thickness of the outer laminae. Even though a design rule to calculate the required thickness of outermost laminate could be developed, a step-by-step method is unlikely to appear in design guides in the next couple of years. Every design would have to be solved from first principles based on the test results or numerical studies. As the standard fire curve does not take into account a decay phase, parametric or natural fire curves should be used.3
The relationship above allows the average heat flux feedback on the walls to be established, if the properties of the compartment fire are known. Of course, the question arises: ‘What is the limiting value for q̇ ”FB for self-extinction to occur?’ This can be evaluated with an equation for mass burning rate ṁ”f :8
Where: q̇ ”EXT – external heat flux
For smaller compartments, thickening laminates alone will not guarantee safety. In isolation (which can be considered the case for some large compartments), the charring rate is relatively predictable, but self-extinction in small compartments is not.
Solve heat balance equation Based on the geometry of the compartment and orientation of exposed members, a condition for self-extinction can be www.trada.co.uk

Timber structures Fire
A threshold value of the burning rate ṁ”f for timber to reach self-extinction is between 2.5 g/m2s to 5 g/m2s.7 After all combustible content of the compartment is consumed, the only source of external heat flux on timber is the feedback between the panels (q̇ ”EXT= q̇ ”FB ). This concept allows for establishing the connection between micro- and macroscale heat balance equations and evaluating if selfextinction is reached.
The equations shown above are difficult to solve in real engineering situations. However, understanding these relationships is crucial to understanding how a timber compartment can be designed to exhibit self-extinction, resulting in a safe design. The main principle is that the heat losses from the compartment must be high enough to limit the incident heat flux on the timber surface, leading to selfextinction. Heat losses can be altered either by the size and orientation of openings, or the build-up of the compartment walls. The designers have a lot of control over these parameters.1 Therefore the compartment can be purposefully designed to include exposed timber surfaces but lead to self-extinction in all design scenarios.
Test every configuration Another method of justifying the safety of a building with exposed timber surfaces is to test every compartment configuration present in the building. While at a first glance it may sound like a preposterous waste of a project budget, in some cases it may be a practical solution. The nature of and the incentives behind erecting CLT buildings, especially in the residential sector, dictate repetitive and modular units. It is possible that only a few configurations would need to be tested to establish the fire safety of an entire high-rise building.

Use known arrangements It is useful to consider CLT compartments that have already been tested when designing a mass timber building. A variety of full-scale tests have already been conducted around the world.5,10,11 The designer could specify the compartments to be of similar size and panel arrangement to ones tested, thereby ensuring the availability of testing data from day one. In many cases, the researchers’ intent was to examine the behaviour of compartments that could be found in modern tall buildings,5 so such arrangements could potentially be readily used in design.
Timber structures Fire
Such practice was incorporated in recent revisions of the International Building Code (USA) and the National Building Code of Canada, allowing for a limited amount of timber to be exposed internally in buildings up to 12 storeys in arrangements that have been tested in the past. There is a potential for the UK to follow with a similar revision, albeit placing more emphasis on a performance goal of such designs.

Mass timber structures, particularly mid- and high-rise buildings, are beyond the scope of typical building situations that Approved Document B is intended for. Considering the ambiguity in UK Building Regulations regarding the fire safety of mass timber buildings, it is the designers and engineers that must be ‘reasonable’ and provide safe and sustainable structures now and for future generations.*

Evaluation of self-extinction in compartments with exposed timber surfaces must form a part of a total fire safety strategy.12 Therefore, the co-operation between stakeholders and fire engineers is most effective when the latter are involved from the very early stages of the design. As fire engineers, we can help the clients to evaluate the proposed design to ensure that it performs adequately and is safe to be occupied. This can be only done by applying fundamental knowledge and solving the problem with an academic approach, rather than relying on regulation-based solutions and step-by-step design guides. n * At the time of writing, timber cannot be used in the external walls of residential buildings in England and Wales that have a floor over 18m, and consultation about reducing this to 11m, among other things, is currently ongoing (Scotland also has restrictions). However, this is not a blanket prohibition of all-timber buildings or timber-hybrid buildings above these heights subject to the construction of the external walls.

Enabling tomorrow’s timber designers today: timber education is essential to excite, empower and inform engineering students James Norman and Andrew Thomson are passionate advocates of sustainable building. They have written a new, accessible textbook on structural timber design, full of essential information, worked examples and clear illustrations, and offer these reflections.
W
e believe timber use in construction is essential for the sustainability of our planet. Designing timber structures: an introduction aims to make timber, as a structural building material, more accessible. The wider implication is this: if we can make the timber design process easier for students and their lecturers to engage with, this will encourage the wider exploration of timber in structural engineering by our future designers and engineering professionals.
Who is the book aimed at? Our new textbook is aimed at those with some basic structural or engineering knowledge, but who have never used timber to design a building. They might be university engineering undergraduates or postgraduates, or individuals undertaking courses with the IStructE. The idea is to introduce these students to design more generally and timber design specifically. We hope this book will open up a new world of knowledge, encouraging our future professionals to design buildings with timber, but also to see timber as a viable, exciting and natural material choice.
Concepts such as bending and deflection are both explained and illustrated.
Colour illustrations reflect the hands-on approach
www.trada.co.uk
Designing timber structures: an introduction will help readers access a wide variety of technical information, from Eurocodes to the latest TRADA Wood Information Sheets. It aims to be a companion to help students navigate designing with timber, to understand the technical calculations required and where additional information to support their design work can be located. By the time they have finished this book, students should understand the difference between kmod and kdef, but more than that they will understand why these different factors are important. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

Timber structures Engineering
What does the book cover? The book starts with a thorough introduction to timber as a material, outlining the different material properties and the quirks of designing with a natural building material. Four technical chapters then build knowledge progressively. They cover simple timber construction, showing students how to design: • sawn timber joists • stud wall design and construction, including consideration of stability • glulam frames, including consideration of connections • CLT structures, including consideration of vibration. The book concludes with some wider considerations such as fire, acoustics, detailing, reuse and robustness. Each of the different technical chapters includes a variety of colour illustrations from technical sketches and graphs to plan drawings and site photographs. This highly-visual approach enables students to read the technical detail, then see it in application to cement their understanding. Each technical chapter ends with a step-by-step worked example to enable students to see how you might actually go about designing and detailing with the different products.
All four design chapters conclude with a comprehensive worked example.
Why a book on timber? The world is changing, and fast. The UK needs to be carbon neutral by 2050. The world needs to greatly increase circular economies. We believe that there are two important parts to the solution: • substantially more re-use of existing buildings • building with timber. By building with timber we are building with one of the only renewable structural materials. (Straw and hemp are valuable ecologically friendly materials but we leave them aside here as generally they are used as insulation, not for structure.) We can increase the number of well-managed forests in the world by increasing demand for certified structural timber. Both are hugely beneficial when the world desperately needs more trees.
Worked examples show students each step in a design calculation.

Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook
Equally important is the attitude of young people towards the environment. Students want to learn about renewable building materials; they want to design buildings with low- or zerocarbon footprints – from both a construction and an operational viewpoint. This book will introduce students to the basic concepts of timber design in an approachable and informative style, giving them confidence to explore this material further. >>

The drawings demonstrate ideas such as how the annual increment of growth of trees is calculated.
What can industry do?
Final thoughts
It feels like the timber construction industry is in a really exciting place, but when writing this book, a number of questions and challenges came to our minds. These are not intended as criticisms of the timber industry, but more observations of how students feel if they try and design using timber.
Timber is not routinely covered in all engineering courses. Lecturers can reinvigorate their enthusiasm by using this book and further exploring recent developments in timber design. Timber in construction is gaining in prominence, nowhere more clearly than in this year’s RIBA Stirling prize, where the use of timber in so many of the shortlisted entries was dynamic, structural and sculptural. Steel and concrete are valuable, but timber is the future; let’s get students excited! n
1. More standard sizing would be helpful. When different suppliers have their own sizing system, it makes it really hard to know where to start. By standardizing sizes, timber would become more accessible. This is apparent across a range of products, whether CLT, glulam or sawn timber. 2. A greater sharing of information. There is, of course, competitive advantage to holding intellectual property. But if we want timber construction to grow, we need to remove barriers to growth and availability. Accessibility of information, especially for the latest engineered timber products, is a key consideration. 3. Involve the engineers of the future in your business. Sponsor student events to encourage designing and building in timber. Offer free information to students or take your knowledge into universities and colleges to help educate students in all the amazing ways timber can be used in structural design. The earlier we can connect students to the timber industry, the more likely they are to use the material in their designs once they qualify. www.trada.co.uk

n 2013 The Green Oak Carpentry Company was commissioned by the National Trust to reconstruct the Chinese Bridge at Croome Park House in Worcestershire, following William Halfpenny’s original drawings dated 1754. The structure is part of a Grade I listed landscape designed by Capability Brown.
The bridge as it stands today has a striking resemblance to the original and Capability Brown’s landscape is restored to its former splendour.
Completed in 2015, the project was ably managed by The Morton Partnership, who undertook the engineering.

Timber selection One of the main decisions to be made early on is timber selection. Temperate hardwoods such as European oak (Quercus robur/Quercus Petrea) and chestnut (Castanea sativa) may be expected to last up to 50 years under Use Class 3 exposure, with the proviso that the timber is correctly specified and the structure is suitably maintained. All sapwood must be excluded as it is not durable and lasts only a few years in external conditions, being far more susceptible to fungi than the heartwood. The pylons of the bridge are permanently immersed in fresh water and, as such, are Use Class 4 exposure. For this reason we suggested the use of a very durable tropical timber for all components in contact with the ground or permanently immersed. We chose to use greenheart (Chlorocardium rodiei), although ekki (Lophira alata), balau (Shorea spp), or iroko (Milicia excelsa) might also have been good choices. Sourcing these timbers sustainably may prove difficult as true FSC®certified supply is not always easy to come by, but supplies are available if you look carefully. Don’t forget to consider softwoods for external joinery. Species such as yellow pine (Pinus Strobus), Siberian larch (Larix sibirica) or Scots pine (European redwood) (Pinus sylvestris) are worth considering and, when correctly specified, detailed and maintained, are capable of providing long service.
the other popular hardwoods and softwoods of greater natural durability are only very rarely treated with wood preservatives because of their low permeability, but chiefly because they have a good natural durability in any case. Also, most large sections of structural timber are used fresh sawn or ‘green’ and hence the moisture content will be above the fibre saturation point of approximately 30%, and as a consequence absorption would be too low. That said, brush treatment some years after installation may be worth considering for accessible timbers and might form part of an effective maintenance programme. You might consider inserting boron rods (disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, a wood preservative) into pockets drilled into the timber. Plastic caps are available from suppliers to seal the pocket. As the moisture content of the timber rises above 20%, the boron diffuses into the timber. The locations of these pockets need to be clearly marked and accessible as they will need to be replaced every three or four years. We carried out this intervention to good effect on the Polesden Lacey Bridge, also built for the National Trust.
Coatings To improve longevity, we painted all mortise and tenon components of the Croome Bridge structure with an oil bound distemper prior to assembly. The client was intending to paint the entire structure with the same paint but this has yet to be executed. There is little doubt that this is a really worthwhile intervention and will greatly help improve the longevity of the structure. The weather will inevitably penetrate the joints; however, sealing the end grain, combined with the fungicidal and insecticidal properties of a lime-based finish, will slow the commencement of decay. >>

Traditional linseed oil-based paints rely on the quality of the oil to perform well and do not form coatings that crack and split. However, modern acrylic and alkyd/acrylic-based paints for wood are capable of providing longer service, while wood stains also provide a choice for the specifier.
The template drawings for Basingstoke Canal lock gates show that, once measured up on site, the dimensions are entered onto the drawings ready for manufacture.
• Consult a good paint specialist for information on the appropriate coatings for any given situation. • Modern paint and stain formulations resist flaking and peeling, and fail only gradually through surface erosion/ weathering. • Consult a good wood finishes specialist for information on the appropriate coatings for any given situation. As far as maintenance is concerned, finishes are available that require only a light brushing and recoating, rather than cleaning back to bare wood with strippers or blow-torch.

Detailing It cannot be over-emphasised that careful specification and detailing is the key to success in the use of timber in external structures. Much of it is common sense. Where cladding or structure is exposed, always detail to allow the water to run off easily and avoid water traps or, where it is unavoidable, promote drainage and ventilation in other ways. For example, in a mortise, vent with 9mm weep holes drilled through the base at 40mm centres.

The end-grain of timber is much more porous than the cross-grain. Therefore, wherever possible, seal the end grain and keep it up off the ground, away from the wet and above the splash zone.

Where putting in fixings, for decking for example, consider how it might be made easier to remove later on for replacement or maintenance. Do not over-tighten screws and use adequate pilot and clearance holes. Consider applying a little bit of graphite grease on the fixings before fixing. A little bit of care at the time of building can save a lot of heartache later.
Maintenance No description of how to maximise longevity would be complete without emphasising the importance of maintenance. Clearing away debris from around the structure, keeping the deck clean and application of occasional coatings or preservative treatment will all make a difference. n Scarf joint in the main carriage beams. The joint shown here is on its side hence in the finished structure the blades are oriented plumb, allowing water to drain through the joint. Anti-capillary grooves can be added by drilling down through at the mating faces of the scarf joint to assist in drainage. Photo: Andrew Holloway, The Green Oak Carpentry Company.
Apply slopes, drips and weatherings to upward-facing surfaces to allow water to run off as quickly as possible. A good example is thatch: where thatch is used on roofs generally you will find the pitch of the roof is kept above 45 degrees, often more, each degree of pitch over 45 degrees is deemed to add a year to the life of the covering. Design for ease of maintenance. It is clear that someone will need to access the structure to maintain it, whether it is lifting decking boards or recoating with paint. Provide access points and lodgements for ladders or scaffold.

Inspecting timber bridges
Specialised inspections for timber bridges are essential to prolong the service life of a bridge, and most importantly provide a safe structure for the intended use. Inspections provide an enhanced level of detail and expertise, complementing regular maintenance examinations of structures carried out by the asset managers. Nick Clifford explains.

“Timber as a material has a range of advantages for structural use. It is relatively lightweight, easy to work with, flexible in size and performance and, if sourced in the correct way, sustainable.”
T
imber bridges are designed and constructed in a variety of forms for road networks, railway infrastructure, viaducts, aqueducts and pedestrian walkways. This can be a timber structure built entirely from timber or where timber is the chosen material for certain components.
Building timber bridges Timber as a material has a range of advantages for structural use. It is relatively lightweight, easy to work with, flexible in size and performance and, if sourced in the correct way, sustainable. In addition, if designed and maintained correctly, the service life of timber components can match or exceed that of alternative materials. A range of softwoods and more durable, stronger hardwoods are used throughout the construction of bridges. The variety of timber species, type of wood preservation and natural variability of timber can present asset managers with difficult decisions. It is this variability that can make it difficult to predict the performance of timber components. Historically, solid timber has been the choice for the construction of timber bridges. However, in recent decades alternative ways of using timber have become increasingly available. Glued laminated timber (glulam) is an excellent way of producing large sections with longer spans of consistent quality. A range of ‘durable’ timber species can be used in conjunction with an appropriate type of structural adhesive that is suitable for exterior use. Square sections are commonly produced, however, glulam manufacture is flexible enough to produce a range of shapes and sizes and – particularly desirable for bridges – in curved lengths. Modified woods are now becoming a more popular choice of species for glulam components, with their improved durability when compared to many natural timber species, provided that research and testing has proven that they have the desired structural performance.
Bridge inspection: scope of the timber survey There are two factors to consider in bridge inspection. These are condition and strength, and are inextricably linked. >> www.trada.co.uk

Timber and timber-based products become vulnerable to fungal decay if the moisture content exceeds the decay threshold, which is nominally 20%. The service environment of timber bridges results in periodical exposure to wetting for prolonged periods. Timber surveys are carried out using non-destructive techniques, which include decay detection drilling with microprobes. Although core samples can be a useful tool for assessing concrete, core sampling is a far less useful tool in assessing timber structures. A timber core sample cannot provide information in the overall condition or strength of a piece. Furthermore, core sampling can actually reduce the expected service life if it breaches the treatment ‘envelope’ of preservative treated timber. As decay develops, it usually progresses at an increasing rate with the result that the subsequent loss in strength will not be linear and cannot be predicted accurately. However, it is possible to evaluate if the extent of decay has reduced the cross-section of the member to the extent that strength has been affected. If strength has not been affected then implementing a remedial preservative treatment regime can halt further deterioration and extend service life. A condition survey can be carried out on any timber that is accessible at the time of inspection. This may concentrate
on the high-risk areas if there are access limitations, which might include timbers that are in ground or water contact, and those that have a limited provision for drainage and ventilation. In practice, the highest risk areas are usually bearing ends since these are more likely to have exposed end-grain. Focusing on those areas would be the recommendation for an initial assessment. For the same reasons, connections would be the next priority. Bolt holes, cut-outs and notches all include exposed end-grain, and, similar to bearing ends, these will usually be less free-draining than mid-span sections. Over the service life of a bridge, this would be expected to increase the risk of fungal decay, which has the effect of reducing the expected service life of the timber elements. Although they are generally lower risk areas because they are often well ventilated, mid-span sections should not be ignored, particularly where, for example, bridge deck fixings penetrate the upper surfaces, or where upper surfaces have developed drying fissures that can become water traps. The presence or absence of water staining at mid-span should not be taken as clear evidence of a decay problem. Heavily water-stained timbers are frequently in a perfectly serviceable condition if the appearance is ignored. Water staining at or near end-grain can be a little more reliable in terms of assessing the likelihood of decay being present, but even that can be misleading. >>

For laminated timber structures, simply assessing for fungal decay is insufficient as glueline performance must also be considered. Failure at gluelines, due either to fungal decay of adjacent wood cells, or deterioration of the adhesive bond, can be of greater overall importance than localised loss of viable cross-section. In the vast majority of cases the strength of the timbers would presumably have been considered by a structural engineer prior to construction. If that information is difficult to obtain, or grade markings have become unreadable on site, or if faced with the task of justifying a structure where the viable crosssection had been reduced by fungal decay, in-situ grading can provide the answer. For that reason, timber surveys are often complemented with visual strength grading and species analysis. The strength characteristics of the structural timbers are determined by undertaking indicative in situ visual strength grading of the members. This in situ grading is carried out using the requirements of the relevant British and European Standards as guidance. These standards are: • BS 4978: 2007+A2 2017 Visual strength grading of softwood – Specification. • BS 5756: 2007+A2 2017 Visual strength grading of temperate hardwood – Specification. • BS EN 16737: 2016 Structural timber – Visual strength grading of tropical hardwood. www.trada.co.uk
BM TRADA provides specialised timber surveys for all timber bridges, which offer an enhanced level of detail and expertise to complement regular maintenance examinations of structures carried out by structural engineers. The service provides a level of detail that enables asset managers to co-ordinate decisions and actions across timber-containing assets to deliver enhanced service life, more efficient use of resources and more effective risk management. The condition-based approach to supporting asset management has two purposes. The first is to detect timber defects such as decay and/or mechanical failure that could endanger safety and reliability of the bridge. The second is to carry out periodic inspections, usually at five-year intervals, which, using evidence-based knowledge on how timber deteriorates, can deliver accurate condition-based monitoring. This provides insight into the asset’s behaviour over time to enable condition forecasting and planning of maintenance or renewal. n

Materials Grading
“For historical and practical reasons, strength grading is done according to one of two approaches: visual strength grading and machine strength grading. The underlying principle is, however, the same for both, and in Europe this is covered by EN 14081-1 and supporting standards.”
T
he UK’s forests provide about one third of the UK sawn wood market and about one third of this homegrown timber is sawn for construction. The majority of this is Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), but this is not the only home-grown species available. With calls to diversify the forests, Sitka it is set to become a less ubiquitous, although still very important, tree and timber species in years to come. Recent years have seen a broadening of strength grading methods. For historical and practical reasons, strength grading is done according to one of two approaches: visual strength grading and machine strength grading. The underlying principle is, however, the same for both, and in Europe this is covered by BS EN 14081-1 and supporting standards. • Visual strength grading works by assessing features such as the size and position of knots, the ring width, and the slope of grain. • Machine strength grading methods have expanded from the original mechanical stiffness measurements (bending graders) to incorporate a range of sensing technologies including x-ray scanning, acoustic velocity, slope of grain and digital image recognition. The strength classes achieved by grading depend not just on the quality of the timber, but also on the grading approach. Knowing what is possible for home-grown timber is useful, since habitual specification of the most common BS EN 338 strength classes (C24 and C16) may limit what can be done with home-grown timber – for reasons that do not have much to do with the ability of the timber to actually do the job.
Visual strength grading Visual grading is carried out according to grading rules that are usually (but do not have to be) national standards (such as BS 4978 for softwoods and BS 5756 for temperate hardwoods). Assignment to a strength class is specific to a combination of grading standard and timber source. >> www.trada.co.uk

Grading possibilities for UK home-grown species Spruce British spruce, a mixture of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) and Norway spruce (Picea abies) grown in the UK and Ireland, has the widest range of grading options.
Measuring timber. Photo: Allan Shedlock, Edinburgh Napier University
The assignments for UK-grown timber were established many years ago, but not all of them are listed in the European Standard BS EN 1912. It covers British spruce (a mixture of Sitka and Norway spruce), British pine (Scots and Austrian/Corsican pine), larch (European, Japanese and hybrid) and Douglas fir. The assignments for oak, sweet chestnut and large crosssection Douglas fir are instead in the British Standards Institute (BSI) published document PD 6693. Assignments repeated on other documents, including this one, should be checked against the latest standards since things can, and do, change. Because the current visual grading rules have certain predetermined thresholds of the visual criteria, the range of available strength classes is very limited. Visual criteria such as knots and slope of grain are typically not as powerful indicators of strength as people tend to assume, so the grading assignment is conservative on the safe side. However, since the visual grading approach is simple to apply it is still very useful, especially for smaller mills and less common species.
Machine strength grading Unlike visual strength grading, machine strength grading is done by machines that have the ability to vary the grading thresholds to potentially grade to any strength class. This allows the commonly specified strength classes C24 and C16 to be targeted for any species, but the grading yield is not necessarily most efficient for those particular grades and the grade’s design properties may be quite a lot lower than the actual properties of the timber. As with visual grading, machine grading settings are specific to species (or species combination) and growth area. Listed below are summaries of current grading possibilities, but these do not necessarily correspond to what is available on the market. Indeed the large sawmills in the UK are mostly set up to grade a single grade with reject, and do so according to the maximum yield and majority market grade. www.trada.co.uk
• Visual grading to BS 4978 or IS 127 assigns to C14 and C18. • Machine grading is usually done to the single grade C16, which needs hardly any machine reject since even before grading the timber overall has the required properties. With the right grading machine, yields of about 25% C24 with 75% C16 and minimal machine reject are achievable, and while likely not economical on an industrial scale for primary processing, this may be viable for one-off projects. Machine settings do go up to C27 and TR26 although the yield for those is only small. • Settings are available for the grading machines by: o Tecmach (Cook Bolinders) o Measuring and Process Control (Computermatic/ Micromatic) o Microtec (Goldeneye 702, Goldeneye 706, Viscan, Viscan plus, Viscan compact, Viscan portable with and without balance) o Brookhuis (MTG920, MTG960, MTGbatch922/926/962/966), Luxscan Weinig (EScan FM/F/FWM/FW) and Dynalyse (Precigrader). The Cook Bolinders and Computermatic/Micromatic are bending machines (stiffness) and the Goldeneyes are x-ray machines (knots and density). All the other machines are of the acoustic longitudinal resonance type, with or without mass or density measurement (stiffness). The Goldeneye 706 combines x-ray with acoustic measurement.
Larch Larch in the UK is a mixture of European larch (Larix decidua), Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi) and hybrid larch (or Dunkeld larch) (Larix x marschlinsii, syn. eurolepis). • Visual grading of UK-grown larch to BS 4978 assigns to C16 and C24. • Larch can achieve C20 or C22 as a single machine grade with minimal machine reject. With the right grading machine, yields of about 30% C27 with 70% C16 and minimal machine reject are achievable. Grades of up to C35 can be achieved in small amounts. • Settings are approved for the same machines as listed above for spruce. • Work is currently underway at National University of Ireland (NUI), Galway, to extend larch settings to Ireland and the expectation is that the timber is very similar to that in the UK. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

Douglas fir Most recently, work by NUI Galway and Edinburgh Napier University has established new grading machine settings for Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) grown in UK and Ireland.
anticipating this in its development of special strength classes that make better use of the real properties of homegrown timber. These tailored strength classes now exist for spruce, larch and Douglas fir.
• Visual grading of UK-grown Douglas fir to BS 4978 assigns to C14 and C18, or C24 for large cross-section (PD 6693). • The machine yield of C18 as a single grade is about 95%. With the right grading machine, yields of about 65% C24 with about 25% C16 and about 10% machine reject are possible. Grades of up to C40 can be achieved in small amounts. • Settings are approved for all the Microtec and Brookhuis machines listed above, and are currently in development by Dynalyse for the Precigrader.
On the other hand, many uses of timber do not have high requirements for the timber properties and for this there is a good case for a much simpler approach to grading. There is no need to reject timber that is perfectly adequate for the job, simply to achieve a familiar strength class that is higher than is actually needed. Visual grading does not need to be so strict as we are used to, and a simple set of visual strength grading rules that can be conservatively applied to a wide range of species may be the way forward for minor species that are not commercial enough to warrant the usual, expensive, testing work to establish grading assignments and settings.
Pine British pine is a mixture of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Austrian/Corsican pine (the listing is P. nigra) grown in the UK. • British pine can be visually graded by BS 4978 to C14 and C22. • Currently the only machine grading settings are for the Cook Bolinders and Computermatic/Micromatic bending machines and they cover only C16 and C24. Other species UK-grown oak visually graded by BS 5756 is assigned to D24, D30 and D40 for large cross-section. Sweet chestnut is assigned to D24. There are currently no machine grading settings for UK-grown hardwoods.
Approaches to timber strength grading One problem with the current system of strength grading is that it is well suited to large sawmills grading a handful of the main species, but not well suited to smaller sawmills, especially when they grade a larger range of species, perhaps for specific building projects rather than the open market. It also, currently, cannot be used to grade recycled timber – or indeed even new timber that has already been graded (without reduction in cross-section as per BS EN 14081-1). This is true of both visual grading and machine grading, and is because grading works on populations of timber, rather than individual pieces. This is also why the grading is linked to species and source. Portable acoustic grading machines are small, simple to use, and relatively inexpensive. This makes them good candidates for smaller producers, especially when grading timber for specific buildings, rather than putting graded timber on the open market. Work at Edinburgh Napier University has been www.trada.co.uk
Wood may be renewable, but it is not unlimited. We should therefore be careful that the way we think about grading does not: • unnecessary limit what timber can be used for • cause rejection of timber that would still be perfectly adequate • artificially limit the range of species we use. While commodity strength classes are good for easy trade, it also makes sense to make better use of the real properties of the timber where possible – especially where the convenience of general trade is not needed. On the other hand there is also a case for a simple, conservative approach to allow timber to be used that would not otherwise be cost effective to grade. Strength grading is not about the grade itself – strength classes are simply shortcut ways of describing design properties. n

Adhesive-free buildings: an update on recent research Conan O’Ceallaigh and Dan Bradley report on the initial commercialisation of highly densified timber technology.
T
owards Adhesive Free Timber Buildings (AFTB) is a £4m+ research project, led by Dr Zhongwei Guan at the University of Liverpool. Starting in 2016, six European partners have been pushing the boundaries of what it is possible to achieve using sustainably sourced softwoods. This article presents two of the project’s key achievements. First, we discuss highly compressed timber as a sustainable material offering the performance and, to an extent, the aesthetic qualities of rare tropical hardwoods. Second, we explain a realistic application of the material, its use as a likefor-like replacement for steel in flitch plates and other timbertimber connection designs. This work on connections has been led by Professor Annette Harte at NUI Galway. These connections expand what is possible in all-timber construction, allowing glulam beams to be connected across far greater spans than would be achievable using traditional carpentry, but without the inclusion of steel elements. The research team are currently exploring the use of these techniques in the upcoming construction of a 30m x 13.5m meditation centre, where the client has specified an all-timber, metal-free structure.
Background Since the project was introduced in Timber 2019 Industry Yearbook, pp127–129, progress has been made with respect to the varied aims of the project. Densified timber combines the material properties of tropical hardwoods, using only sustainably grown softwoods or hardwoods (such as spruce or beech). It has, however, struggled to move out of niche applications such as weaving shuttles for the textile industry, or as a laminated product, in applications where mechanical performance must be combined with outstanding thermal or electrical resistance. The material is being used in many more innovative applications, including as a replacement for internationally protected timber www.trada.co.uk
species in the manufacture of fine musical instruments. The AFTB project has investigated its application to mass timber construction. In terms of engineered wood products, we have focused on dowelled beams and panels, Brettstapel floors and walls, and densified timber connection systems. Table 1 shows indicative values for the material performance increases that have been observed. These tests were conducted with widely available species, including Sitka spruce, Scots pine, western hemlock and beech. Of key interest to manufacturers of existing dowelled timber products may be the seven-fold increase in the force required to extract a dowel imbedded in softwood laminates, compared to a traditional dried hardwood dowel. It should also be noted that, although the test was concluded after three cycles, the force required had not stabilised and was continuing to increase. By using the properties of the compressed wood, it is also simple to design bolt-like fittings where post-assembly expansion forms a solid, continuous dowel that flares at both ends, further locking laminates in place. >> Longitudinal

voids, compressed timber has superior fire resistance compared to standard softwoods. For example, densified spruce exposed to a standard fire (850°C) loses about 20% of its mass due to charring after 15 minutes; an equivalent sample of uncompressed spruce will lose up to 65%. Compared to metal fixings for timber, dowelled connections offer a superior fire performance. Before charring, densified timber loses almost no strength as the temperature increases. Structural steel, however, loses 50% of its strength at room temperature when it reaches 500°C. Steel fixings also rapidly conduct heat into internal areas of bulk timber, charring them from the inside. This effect is not observed when using hardwood or compressed wood fixings.
Representative load displacement curves showing performance in destructive four-point bending tests
The permanent tight fit observed when using compressed wood fittings is a consequence of the material’s natural tendency to spring back to its pre-compression geometry. The rate of this effect is controlled by the in-service moisture content and temperature. Should dimensional stability be required, however, this can be achieved through treatments to prevent moisture ingress and possibly by thermal treatment of the compressed product.
Fire In the UK, fire-risk perception is a significant impediment to the adoption of mass timber, especially in structures over 18m where it is now restricted. Due to the lack of internal
Potential for industrial adoption in mass timber As a like-for-like competitor for glulam and CLT, using softwoods compressed wood technology is not ready for market. The beam or panel stiffness is determined by the properties of the softwood laminates, with the dowels embedding in the softer material under load. For beams using hardwood dowels, however, compressed wood fixings were able to yield a modest improvement of +8% in stiffness and +12% in load-at-failure. In the opinion of the authors, the solution lies not with the dowels but with profiling the surfaces of the laminates, such that they interlock and therefore resist slippage. Using this technique, the stiffness of glulam beams may well be approached, at the expense of extra machining time and some material wastage. Testing of this was, however, outside the scope of the project. >>

dowels can, for certain designs, be used interchangeably with their metal equivalents. When destructively tested, the failure mode of the connection is failure of the glulam beam around the joint, not the connecting elements. Unusually for a timber-only system, a useful tensile ductile capacity can also be developed by taking advantage of embedment of the densified timber in the softer laminates. Each application, will, of course, have its own design requirements.
Current industrial uptake of connections
Summary
Several European companies have prototyped products based on the technology developed by this project. Buckland Timber Ltd, a full-service glulam manufacturer based in Devon, is currently working with project partners to incorporate densified timber connections in a commission due for construction in 2020. The customer requires that no metal is used in the structure of the building. This rules out use of standard steel fixings and screws to link the planned glulam elements.
With its combination of physical properties, shape memory and sustainability credentials, the AFTB project hopes to move the use of highly densified timber beyond niche applications and into mass timber for the construction industry. For true mass adoption, however, further research will be required into the production process, including at the forestry and sawmill level. n

Materials Timber and well-being
Wood health Ed Suttie discusses how wood is good for your health and how we might specify for the delivery of healthy buildings.
T
hree years ago, this yearbook1 featured an article titled ‘Is wood good for your health?’, which considered how the choice of materials we surround ourselves with could affect our well-being. It was an exciting time as building occupant well-being was rising up the agenda and the first building in Europe to achieve WELL Gold Certification through the WELL Building Standard™ was the Cundall office at One Carter Lane, London, in November 2016. At the time, the logic for using wood as a construction material was simple and built upon the increasingly recognised health and well-being benefits of the forest resource as an asset. It considered that through ‘biophilia’ – our connection to nature – we respond, heal, learn and relax better in environments that mimic nature. Wood as a natural material is a strong proxy for nature, bringing us warmth, diversity of pattern, thermal comfort, and acoustic and aesthetic qualities. This article discusses what has happened since then and glances to the future, focusing on three topics: • the evidence for health qualities of wood • building momentum • the opportunity for increasing specification of wood using health qualities.
Evidence for health qualities of wood It is incredible to think that a material as ancient and widely used in our built environment as wood could have qualities that we are only just beginning to quantify. At last year’s TTJ Wood and Wellness2 conference in London, TRADA’s briefing document ‘The role of wood in healthy buildings’3 was launched, documenting the scientific evidence for the positive impacts of wood on people in buildings. Empirical scientific evidence is key to our understanding, but we also have to judge that evidence: it is not all the same and often cannot be directly compared. For example, we have to consider the experimental set up, the inherent bias, the data sample size, the demographic of the people participating in the study, culture preferences etc. Scientific evidence is key, but we must also value the distillation of years of anecdotal evidence and instinct. This shapes designers, craftsmen and others drawn to work with wood, creating a deep experiential quality to their buildings, products and interiors. The global evidence suggests that, from studies of the perceptions of wooden surfaces compared with other materials, a ‘wood preference’ exists. People who are asked to compare materials by looking, touching and smelling material samples prefer wood to steel, plastic, metal, stone, ceramic, brick and aluminium. This is connected to the naturalness of the wood material and extends further as solid wood is preferred to wood-based materials and, perhaps no surprise, that real wood is preferred to false wood. When asked about rooms with different amounts of wood present, mock-ups or visualisations of wood present in a room (from no wood to everything wood) there seems to be a limit, with some wood present (for example the floor and furniture) being consistently the preferred option. People have positive attitudes towards wood in interiors. Wood is commonly perceived as natural, warm and healthy, and is often preferred over other materials.

in healthcare environments, natural materials and views are associated with better patient outcomes with respect to recovery times, lower pain perception and positive dispositions. For education, Kelz et al5 studied the use of wood in Austrian classrooms and found that, over the course of a school year, pupils’ heart rates significantly decreased in a solid wood classroom but increased in the control nonwood classroom.
many cases the function of the building – mental health centre, children’s hospital, care and assisted living complex, healthcare centre – might have been driving its consideration.
There is good evidence that wood has a positive impact on human psychology and physiology. There are only relatively few studies, but they are long term, thorough and create a movement towards using wood for health benefits. These promising results should be replicated in the UK and/or Europe, with more subjects and different age groups to build upon these exciting findings. This would be hugely beneficial in accelerating uptake of specifying wood for health.
Building momentum
Building interiors are experiential – instinct and first experiences are important. Is wood being specified for health and wellness qualities now? Globally there are some examples of wood specified for its health and well-being qualities. It is repeatedly specified as a versatile, natural, low-carbon, beautiful material, but health and well-being is a quality specifically embedded in some projects in Australia (Wood Housing Health, Humanity),6 Canada (Wood in Healthcare)7 and the US (Thinkwood case studies).8 In www.trada.co.uk
Many people prefer wood as a material and there is increasing confidence that the positive impacts wood can have on occupants of buildings can be measured, but these health benefits are not currently specified.
We must continue to build this momentum, expand and share experiences and new studies. The TRADA case studies9 showcase fantastic buildings celebrating the diversity of wood and its ability to deliver and be part of our built environment. It would be valuable to revisit and extend this building evaluation to the health and well-being of the building occupants, and understanding and then communicating those tangible benefits to a wider audience.
The opportunity for increasing specification of wood using health qualities Certification schemes for whole buildings are a good route to examine, although even with health-dedicated schemes reference to wood will not be directly found in many places. We have seen that a core tenet of biophilic design is contact >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

with nature and analogues for nature – natural things. Wood is a proxy for nature, each element being unique and natural. The TRADA Wood Information Sheet WIS 0-14 Specifying timber for healthy buildings10 reviews, in Tables 6 and 7, how the qualities of wood impact within certification schemes, such as indoor air quality, visual comfort, biophilia, thermal comfort, acoustic comfort etc. We are now considering the next step to map the credits available to wood in certification and assessment schemes, in place of an alternative material, for specific applications such as flooring, furniture, doors and interior cladding panels. WIS 0-14 Specifying timber for healthy buildings explores the possibilities for the specification of wood for healthy buildings, to encourage delivery of interiors that positively impact on our well-being. It recognises the importance of the type of project, with particular opportunity around refurbishment and fit-out (RFO) projects. This is vital as much of our existing building stock will remain with us for many decades and be refurbished and repurposed. It is second nature now for us to minimise emissions in the selection process for preservatives, fire retardants and glues in products, but we also need to push this to operational issues such as the aftercare and cleaning products that we recommend.
Making a compelling case To further enable specifying timber for healthy buildings it is essential to understand more about the qualities that wood delivers, gather more evidence as case studies and have a consistent compelling case for us to communicate. We need some or all of the following to accelerate this uptake:
The health qualities in future will be more readily articulated so that wood solutions can be proposed by designers to meet clients’ needs such as low carbon, strength, durability but also the significant values of health and well-being. n

Flooring Reused timber
Reclaimed wood flooring
Nick Clifford examines whether the reuse of timber for flooring is a good form of recycling.
T
he environmental benefits of reusing and recycling construction materials may seem obvious, as well as potential financial advantages. Timber often lends itself to re-use as it can be re-sized or re-surfaced with relative ease. Wooden beams have long been reused in buildings; used railway sleepers are available for retaining walls or garden features; and reclaimed oak has been used for external timber cladding, with great results. Similarly, TRADA has seen an increase in the re-use of wood block flooring in recent years, but with varying degrees of success. While lifting, refurbishing and re-laying wood block flooring may seem an attractive option, consideration must be given not just to whether the wood blocks are in a suitable condition for re-use prior to refurbishment, but also to the expected service life of the floor afterwards. An understanding of the process helps bring the potential pitfalls into focus.
What is wood block flooring? Wood block flooring comes in a variety of edge profiles and sizes ranging from square-edged blocks to slats, depending on the age of the floor covering. Older wood block floor coverings were predominantly installed as square-edged blocks laid adjacent to each other into a bed of bitumen adhesive and caulked with an extensible mastic. These types of floor covering were predominantly laid ‘end-on’ with their end grains forming the aesthetic face. These blocks were exceptionally hard wearing and were commonly used to good effect where sound dampening in confined spaces was a consideration.
Large rafting gap with visible sub-floor
What are the considerations of reuse? Where square-edged, end-grain blocks are laid as a means of preserving the character of heritage projects, or even on new installations, consideration should be given to the movement characteristics of the flooring elements, which, may develop irregular or rhomboid shapes depending on where within the log the wood block has been cut. To mitigate this risk careful selection of the blocks may be required before subjecting them to a strict and thorough acclimatisation protocol to the anticipated atmospheric conditions they are likely to experience in service. Floor coverings that are installed with edge-bonded wood blocks may be particularly susceptible to the phenomenon of ‘rafting’ in the event of their not being adequately acclimatised. In the event of in-service shrinkage occurring, the weakest joints are more likely to break causing the more strongly bonded blocks to move together in unison (literally as a raft), which can result in the development of oversize gaps in the floor. The risks of rafting can be much reduced by proper acclimatisation of blocks before they are laid.
The role of a tongued and grooved profile
Broken block edges can be avoided through careful block selection
162 |
Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook
Modern wood blocks, as defined in BS EN 13228,1 are typically machined to a thickness of 13mm, up to 400mm long and 80mm wide with interlocking features, often with a tonged and grooved (T&G) profile or similar.
Flooring Reused timber
on the undersides of wood blocks after lifting, and these must be removed prior to re-laying. Failure to do so makes it much harder to achieve a flat floor surface, and a greater degree of sanding may be needed to remove any unevenness. Whatever the case, sanding will usually be required.
Repeated sanding can lead to thin wear layers
When it comes to re-use of T&G profiled blocks, tongues frequently break off when well-bonded blocks are prised up, and contractors have also been known to intentionally remove tongues once blocks have been lifted. A T&G joint is primarily a movement joint designed to accommodate seasonal movement. In wood block flooring the engagement of the tongue with the groove of the adjacent block also provides a visual benefit as this obscures the sub-floor surface when shrinkage occurs during warmer, drier periods, otherwise the sub-floor surface would be visible through shrinkage gaps between square-edged blocks. Re-using blocks with removed tongues presents a difficulty in that tongues provide a degree of support to the upper lip of the grooved edges of adjacent boards. Removal of that support significantly increases the risk of breakages in service, as block edges break off under much-reduced loads, for example from an unfortunately positioned chair-leg or stiletto-type heel. The risk of block edges breaking off where tongues are absent may be especially high for floors that have been subjected to sanding as part of prior re-coating works. Each sanding event removes material from the upper surface of the blocks, including the upper lip above the groove. The extent to which that material has been removed, or more importantly the thickness of the remaining material, plays a crucial role in block-edge breakages. The thickness of the upper lip of grooved edges in wood block flooring is commonly around 6mm. That is a relatively thin section of wood to resist the load from a chair leg in use if the tongue of the adjacent block is missing, so the lip does not have additional support.
Effects of sanding Re-using, refurbishing or repairing wood block flooring will almost always include sanding to ‘freshen-up’ the wood surface, to remove unevenness, and/or as part of the renewal of worn-out surface coatings. Adhesive residues often remain www.trada.co.uk
Each sanding event removes material from the upper surface, thereby reducing the potential for future sanding. Although moderately sanding a flat floor may remove only a millimetre or so of wood from the surface, a floor can only be subjected to a finite number of sanding events over the life of the wood blocks, before too much material has been removed. Square-edged and endgrain blocks are usually sufficiently thick to allow sanding on many occasions without issue. In T&G blocks the 6mm thick upper lip of the grooved edges soon becomes thin after perhaps only two or three sanding events, making breakages at block edges more likely without support from the tongue of the adjacent block.
Conclusion When considering whether or not a wood block flooring is suitable for re-use, it is important to consider whether the blocks will have sufficient material to avoid breakages after relaying and sanding. Even if they do, can they be sanded again at a later date, as part of routine maintenance for wood block floors? If not, with the best of intentions, you may be spending time and money re-using a wood block floor that is prone to failures, and/or will have a limited service life going forward. n

Pitched timber roofs: a geometry lesson
Mark Milner focuses on the maths involved in setting out a traditional pitched timber roof, determining lengths and bevels, and the various cuts required.
R
ise, run, pitch… upon hearing such terminology, anyone would be forgiven for thinking that this is an article on stairs. In fact, this terminology is not monopolised by stairs; it is shared by another subject employing many of the same elements – among them, lengths, bevels and geometry. Of course, the function of a roof is entirely different to that of a staircase; the latter providing safe access from one floor level to the next, while the former provides a weather-proof covering over a building.
Three methods and key components Determining the lengths and bevels of roofing members is one of the fundamental skills required by roofing carpenters. There are several methods, the main three being: • Roofing Ready Reckoner • geometry • steel roofing square. Before looking at the first two in more depth, it will be useful to outline the main components of a hipped roof and basic setting out terms, as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 respectively and described below. Ridge board Common rafter
Jack rafters: fixed in diminishing pairs between the hip rafter and the wall plate. Ridge board: a horizontal board at the apex of the roof structure, against which the tops of the rafters are fixed. Wall plates: Horizontal members bedded on mortar at the tops of the walls that provide a fixing point for, and that carry and share the load imposed by, the rafters.

Figure 2: Basic setting out terms. Illustration: Mark Milner
Backing line: used when marking out a pattern rafter and positioned at two-thirds depth from the rafter’s upper surface. Pitch: the slope of a roof measured in degrees. Rise: the vertical distance from the top of the wall plates to the point where the rafters’ backing lines intersect at the ridge board. Run: the horizontal distance from the outside of the wall plate to the centre of the roof; equivalent to half the span. Span: the horizontal distance from the outside of one wall plate to the outside of the opposite wall plate, measured in the direction of the ceiling joists; equivalent to twice the run.

Wall plate Jack rafter
Figure 1: Main components of a hipped roof. Illustration: Mark Milner
Common rafters: inclined members fixed at their upper ends to the ridge board and, at their lower ends, to the wall plate. Crown rafter: the central rafter of a hipped end. Hip rafters: members forming an external corner where two of a roof’s sloping surfaces meet and against which the upper ends of the jack rafters are fixed. www.trada.co.uk
The Roofing Ready Reckoner (RRR) is a book of tables (several versions are available, many as smartphone apps). From the tables, the lengths and bevels of the various inclined roof members can be looked up and, when used with a steel roofing square, marked out. Reading the tables, which are arranged in ascending order according to a roof’s pitch, is straightforward once the basic principles of roofing are understood. Referring to Figure 3 and using, as an example, a roof with a pitch of 35° and a run of 4m, the roof’s pitch tells us which page to turn to. The left-hand column, headed ‘RUN OF R’ (R: rafter), list runs from 1 to 10 >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

Figure 4 illustrates this information pictorially with the BRL rounded to 4883mm. If the example roof had a hipped end, we would also refer to the third column, headed ‘LENGTH OF H & V’ (H: hip rafter, V: valley rafter), to find the hip rafter length of 6.3118 (m).
Figure 5: Hipped roof with a pitch of 35° and a span of 3m. Illustration: Mark Milner
When complete, we are going to cut out and fold the roof to form a three-dimensional model and compare its scale measurements with actual measurements given in the RRR. In doing so, the RRR tables – hitherto page after page of meaningless numbers in the mind of an inexperienced but budding roofer – are brought to life.
Stage 1 With the A3 paper in portrait orientation and working from a vertical line drawn down the centre of the sheet, two further vertical lines are drawn 1.5m (at 1:25 scale using a scale rule) each side of the centre line (Figure 6).

Scale measurements
So how do we find the basic rafter and hip rafter lengths if the run isn’t listed in the tables?
At 1:25 scale, the model roof is undeniably small, making accurately measuring its ‘real life’ dimensions virtually impossible. Nevertheless, measure it we will, and provided we’ve worked carefully, an agreement between the model and the RRR will be demonstrated with each affording credibility to the other. Accurate dimensions are shown in Figure 16.
This may be achieved by dividing the run in millimetres by 1,000 (so as to express the run in terms of a metre) and to then multiply this figure by the rafter lengths given in the tables (circled red in Figure 17 ): Figure 14: The developed roof is cut out...
Alternatively, a run of 1.5m could be doubled and the given rafter lengths halved (circled blue in Figure 17):
Figure 15: ...and folded to form a threedimensional model
Run of rafter measurements listed in the RRR are whole numbers from 1 to 10; the run of this model is 1.5m, which falls between the ‘1’ and ‘2’, as arrowed Figure 16: The model’s ‘real-life’ dimensions. in Figure 17. So the Photos/illustration: Mark Milner required run’s absence from the table, as mentioned earlier, makes the understanding process all the more difficult in the mind of a learner.

Brilliantly simple and entirely reliable, the RRR can be an invaluable tool in roof building. Selling it to those entering the trade of carpentry and joinery can be difficult. Geometry, when applied to roofs, is a practical activity that can be carried out at a desk or workbench. The scales involved, though, make entire accuracy – unlike the RRR – almost unachievable. Put the two together and they make a formidable partnership. n

A natural evolution: the wooden window
Recent years have seen significant developments in the design of wood windows and the manufacturing processes and materials used to produce them. Kevin Underwood explores the solutions that modern wood windows provide and identifies key factors to take into consideration when specifying wood as a window material.

“Not only do wood windows have a long service life, often longer than other common window materials, but they also provide lower whole-life costs.�
W
indows are a fundamental component of the fabric of any building. Not only do they allow us to view the environment around the building but, in so doing, they allow sunlight to enter the building, providing warmth and light. Windows insulate the building’s fabric, both thermally and acoustically, and while they provide controlled ventilation, which is essential for maintaining indoor air quality, they resist the uncontrolled ingress of air and water.
Windows also form part of the physical security of buildings and contribute to the safety of people who visit, live or work in the building, providing a potential escape route in the event of a fire and protection from falling and impact injury if the window contains low-level glazing. This is a big role to fulfil, and modern wood windows successfully provide solutions across a broad spectrum of project types.
Performance through engineering Over the past two decades there have been significant technological advances in the wood windows industry, from design to the manufacturing processes and materials used in their production. The development of engineered and modified timber components, and improvements in the formulation of coatings and the factory application of these, mean that wood windows provide levels of strength, durability and stability that meet the tough challenges presented by any commercial or domestic project brief. Independent research by Heriot Watt University1 demonstrates that not only do wood windows have a long service life, often longer than other common window materials, but they also provide lower whole-life costs. In its study Whole Life Analysis of Timber, Modified Timber and Aluminium-clad Timber Windows, Heriot Watt University looked at the service life planning (SLP) and whole life cost (WLC) of wood windows compared with other types of materials. The specification used for wood windows was the standard set by the Wood Window Alliance (WWA) and it was found that these modern, factoryfinished and glazed wood windows had an expected service life of between 56 to 65 years in average UK conditions. >> www.trada.co.uk

is required to be applied to the window within the first decade of it being installed if maintenance is carried out before any visible signs of coating degradation are evident. In the same study, Heriot Watt University took levels of planned maintenance programmes into consideration in the calculation of WLC of window frame materials. With a service life of up to 65 years in average UK climate conditions, wood windows made to the WWA specification were also found to have the lowest WLC.
How manufacturing standards influence service life The measures listed below are part of the Wood Window Alliance (WWA) specification for wood window frames and all work together to contribute to the expected service life of 56 to 65 years.

This, for example, is almost double that of PVC-U window frames, which were found to have an expected service life of 35 years2 in the same average climatic regimes. Manufacturing criteria have played a strong role in extending the service life of wood window frames, encompassing the following key elements: • choice of sustainable, defect free, engineered or modified timber • window design elements, such as rounded edges, watershedding angles on horizontal surfaces, such as sills and beads, and joint and end-grain sealing • flexible, microporous protective coatings applied under factory-controlled conditions • factory controlled drained and vented glazing systems suited to double or triple glazing units. The above factors have also contributed to modern wood window frames requiring less regular maintenance. The coating systems used today – particularly when applied by a factorycontrolled process, enabling consistency in coverage, greater coating thicknesses and with managed drying conditions – are superior to finishes manually applied on site with a brush. WWA members typically provide a 10-year guarantee for opaque coatings (paints) and a seven-year guarantee for medium- or high-build translucent coatings (stains) for average UK climate conditions, meaning that a simple refresher coat is often all that www.trada.co.uk
• Improvements to the timber in the windows by using: o specially selected slow-growth timber grown in cold climates o a higher proportion of heartwood o engineered components incorporating defect-free, laminated and finger-jointed timber, increasing stability and reducing knots and resin exudation. • Improved component design, using a slight slope – especially to the horizontal sections of the windows – to encourage water run-off to prevent standing rainwater, and water ingress into vulnerable areas. • Rounded edges (arrises), rather than sharp edges, to prevent the coatings thinning at these points, thus maintaining durability. • End-grain sealants prior to assembly, to prevent water ingress into vulnerable areas around and into joints. • Timber treatment systems, to extend durability when required. • Opaque and translucent coatings applied in a controlled environment in the factory, providing more consistent protection than brush-applied finishes. • Improved drained and vented glazing systems, increasing glazing unit service life. >>

Carbon dioxide emissions (CO2e) per window frame material over a 60-year life
Wooden windows, Norfolk. Photo: WWA
The sustainable choice To achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, wood as a construction material is increasingly being specified for lowcarbon emission homes. Over the years, the WWA has commissioned several studies on the environmental credentials of window frames made to its specification, to inform specifiers of the overall carbon footprint of members’ products. As part of membership criteria, all WWA manufacturing members must hold either FSC® or PEFC™ chain of custody certification. Timber sourced from sustainable forests not only means that more trees get planted than are felled, but it’s a proven way to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Wood products are carbon stores and growing forests are carbon sinks. In a study undertaken by Davis Langdon to compare the embodied carbon emissions of WWA windows with equivalent PVC-U units,3 it was found that each wood window made to the WWA specification saved 89kg CO2 e when used instead of a comparable PVC-U window – this is a saving of around 0.75 tonnes CO2e per average house (the equivalent of driving around 6,500km in a small family car). The Heriot Watt University independent study found that a typical wood window made to WWA standards has a negative global warming potential over its estimated 56- to 65-year life service. Planned maintenance prolongs the life of the window and its carbon store effect, reducing the impacts caused by new replacements. Wood is the only window frame material that can be repaired in such a way. FSC-A000503

Upgrading timber joinery doors for fire resistance Guidance on assessing the suitability of existing joinery timber doors for upgrading, which have been considered worth retaining for architectural or heritage reasons, to give a 20- or 30-minutes’ fire resistance comparable with that of purpose-made fire doors.
T
he term ‘doors’ is used throughout this document to describe the complete unit, ie the door leaf, door frame, glazing and other ancillary components such as intumescent and smoke seals. The term ‘doorsets’ has deliberately not been used to avoid confusion with the definition used in harmonised European standards to describe a product that would need to be CE marked to be placed on the market within the EU. The information contained in this WIS has been written specifically for timber doors that have been constructed using traditional joinery methods and is intended to give guidance on assessing the suitability of upgrading the performance of existing timber joinery doors that have been considered worth retaining for architectural or heritage reasons. Upgrading to 60 minutes’ performance will rarely be possible. Upgrading the fire resistance of existing timber joinery doors is a common requirement in heritage buildings. Conservators look for solutions with minimal impact on the appearance and function of existing doors. The requirements for fire doors are quite complex. TRADA’s WIS 1-13: Performance of fire-resisting timber-based doorsets1 explains the principles.
Strategy to upgrade for fire resistance A fire door is designed to function both as a door and as a barrier to a fully developed fire in a building. (The term should really be ‘fire-resisting doors’ since leaf and frame act together in a fire-resistance context.) Although any closed door will have some delaying effect on the development and spread of a fire, a fire door must be proven to be capable of resisting the effects of a standard fire test for stipulated periods, typically 30 minutes’ fire resistance in most publicly accessible heritage buildings but it could be 20 minutes in residential properties. However, there will sometimes be circumstances when particularly interesting or valuable doors may be retained even when the upgrading is only likely to achieve a shorter time. (In these circumstances, agreements may be made between conservation and fire officers to add additional compensatory fire-resisting measures.) When refurbishing or upgrading the passive fire protection within existing buildings, it is usually preferable to install new third-party certified doors that incorporate the latest technology. However, there are some circumstances where it is necessary or desirable to retain the existing doors but improve or enhance their performance capabilities to meet the required statutory level according to building regulations (for example, fire resistance, smoke control, accessibility, acoustics, impact safety). Examples are: • a change of use of the building necessitating compliance with building or fire regulations • listed building consent • general improvement of fire safety • retroactive legislation • insurance requirements.

The existing door installation and the condition of the leaves and the frame will vary from building to building and door to door. Therefore, it is vital to look at each case individually when assessing the potential for upgrading. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

Protection Fire doors
Normally, representative samples of an intended design of fire door are required to be tested to: • BS 476-22 Methods for determination of the fire resistance of non-loadbearing elements of construction,2 or • BS EN 1634-1 Fire resistance tests for doors, shutters and openable windows.3 Depending on the heritage status of the doors, and number of doors, it is not always possible to destructively test the door design being considered for upgrading, as the fabric that the conservator is trying to retain will be destroyed in the fire test. It is therefore necessary to make an assessment of performance of the existing door and its suitability for upgrading, by considering the construction of the door, against the available test evidence for the selected method of upgrading. An assessment will therefore provide an opinion of the upgraded door’s likely fire-resistance performance, but will be based on relevant and sufficient test evidence, where the upgrading measures have previously been tested on fundamentally similar timber door designs. Assessments must be prepared and issued by competent fireresistance product assessors, such as are likely to be found at fire test laboratories accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). In most cases, regulatory authorities are willing to accept an assessment of performance, but it is recommended that engagement and acceptance of this approach is sought as early in the project as possible to avoid any problems during the project or at handover.
Suitability of existing doors for upgrading After deciding that upgrading is desirable, the next step is to determine whether it is possible. It will be important at the outset to agree with the building control and fire authorities the level of performance to be achieved and the acceptability of an upgrading solution backed by an independent assessment. If upgrading is acceptable, the next step is to assess whether each door and frame under consideration is suitable. This will depend on the leaf size, design and materials used, and, importantly, on its current condition. The leaf itself will need to be in good condition with no gaps or loose joints. Where leaf edges have been knocked and damaged, they may need to be trimmed back and re-lipped to give good, clean edges. This operation can also correct doors that have become out of square and/or are a poor fit in their frames. www.trada.co.uk
Having established that the door leaf is in good or repairable condition, it should be examined to see whether it has the potential to be upgraded. While the framework of a substantial, panelled hardwood door may require little attention, a door leaf with relatively thin softwood framing and lightweight timber panels is unlikely to be suitable for upgrading. There are a variety of other timber joinery door designs that are typically found within heritage buildings. Although some have a similar appearance, there can be subtleties in leaf construction that may need specific consideration when selecting an appropriate upgrading method (assuming one is available). For this reason it is recommended that specialist advice is sought. Table 1 gives general guidance on the prospects of upgrading the common types of door leaves found in heritage buildings, to 20 or 30 minutes’ fire resistance (in a suitable frame).
Door type

Ledged and braced
Unlikely to be suitable for retaining for upgrading for fire resistance as there will be insufficient thickness at the leaf edges to accommodate an intumescent seal
Framed, ledged and braced
Ability to upgrade depends on joints between boards, fixings and the thickness of the leaf framing (typically a minimum of 44mm required for 30-minute fire-resisting applications)
Framed, solid with solid panels
Ability to upgrade depends on leaf thickness (typically a minimum of 44mm required for 30-minute fire-resistance applications) and the panel construction
Framed, solid with glazed panels
Ability to upgrade depends on leaf thickness (typically a minimum of 44mm required for 30-minute fire-resistance applications) and the type/installation of the glazing
Table 1: Suitability of timber joinery doors for upgrading
As well as the economics of upgrading, the feasibility will depend on the extent to which alterations in appearance can be accepted and whether maintaining the original appearance on both sides is desired.
Solid, unglazed doors It will not be possible to consider upgrading a door unless the type of construction and material used is known. Where the framing (ie, stiles, rails, framing, ledges and bracing, as appropriate) is manufactured from solid timber, it will be necessary to identify whether the species is softwood or hardwood to make an estimate of the potential burn-through resistance of the construction and its propensity to distort. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook
| 181
Protection Fire doors
A useful rule of thumb is that softwood chars at the rate of approximately 0.75mm per minute and hardwood at 0.5mm per minute (although the hardwood beech chars at the same rate as softwood).
Once examination and burn through estimates have shown that upgrading may be possible, the recommendation must be to consult an expert to determine the most effective and appropriate upgrading techniques for the doors in question.
It is also important to understand the construction of the framing (for example, jointing methods) to be able to consider the structural performance of the door leaf under fire test conditions and its ability to retain the infill panels and/or glass as appropriate.
Partly or fully glazed doors The most common approach to upgrading glazed apertures is to replace existing plain glass with a fire-resisting glass. Historically, Georgian wired glass was commonly used, but unwired borosilicate glass is also available, as are unwired laminated glasses that incorporate intumescent layers and are capable of providing an insulation rating as well as integrity.
Additionally, the infill panels also need to be considered as often this will be the weakest part of the door leaf construction in terms of potential burn through. Some timber panels in heritage doors can be as thin as 6mm, which will burn through in less than 10 minutes in fire test conditions (possibly quicker depending on the condition and timber type of the panel – shrinkage and splitting of the panel will affect the burn-through rate, for example).
Incorporating non-insulating glass creates two main hazards for the fire resistance of a door. Firstly, the glass will heat up quickly and conduct heat into the back face of the glazing bead on the unexposed side of the door. Secondly, non-insulating glass permits the transmission of radiant heat through the glass on to the surface of the unexposed face bead. In both cases this can be sufficient to cause premature ignition. It is therefore necessary to install the glass using a proprietary intumescent glazing system with suitable chamfered hardwood beads and pin/screw fixings. The glazing bead, glazing system and fixing detail is critically important and must have test evidence for use with the glass type and must be installed in accordance with the glass or glazing system manufacturer’s guidance. Any small change in tested detail can lead to premature failures during fire test conditions. There may be occasions when a designer must consider retaining the existing glazing detail, for example in a leaded-light or stained glass panel door. In such cases there may be potential for applying ‘secondary fire glazing’. Secondary fire glazing needs to be carefully detailed and installed to make sure that it provides the necessary protection. The glazing needs to stay in position long enough to provide the required fire-resistance performance and the direction of the fire risk may also need to be considered (typically secondary glazed units will be tested to provide protection from fire from one face only, usually the side of the door that the unit has been fixed).

Fit of leaf in frame and size of leaf/frame gaps Limit the gap between the leaf and the frame to 3mm ±1mm. Where unacceptably large gaps occur or the leaf edges are damaged, the leaf edges may need to be using accepted and proven techniques, and the leaf edge gaps adjusted. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

Sealing the leaf/frame gap An intumescent seal should be fitted across the head, down both jambs and at the meeting edges of double-leaf doors, to enable a door to achieve its maximum potential performance. This will apply to both 20- and 30-minute designs. The seals may be fitted either centrally in the leaf edge, or centrally in the frame reveal opposite the leaf edge. Where the leaf is being removed for upgrading work it may be easier to fit the intumescent seal into the leaf edges. (It is worth noting that intumescent seals are available in a wide variety of finishes, including wood grain effects, which can help retain the original aesthetic appearance of the doors.) An intumescent seal will activate when heat is applied to fill the gap between the leaf edge and the frame. Intumescent seals alone are not designed to offer any resistance to cold smoke but, when activated, are effective barriers to hot smoke, flames and hot gases. It is now widely appreciated that a major cause of deaths in fire is ashyxiation, caused by inhalation of smoke, and greater emphasis is being placed on controlling cold smoke leakage. To control the spread of cold or ambient temperature smoke, a seal capable of controlling smoke leakage needs to be fitted to the perimeter of the door leaf. Smoke control seals can either be separate to the intumescent seal or combined with the perimeter intumescent seal. www.trada.co.uk
For both intumescent and smoke seals it is important that the amount of interruption to the seals by hardware or other edge-mounted items is kept to a minimum, as supported by the seal manufacturer’s test evidence. Where intumescent seals are interrupted by hardware it may be necessary to provide additional intumescent protection to the item of hardware by fitting gaskets around the item. For smoke seals, it may be necessary to have a separate stop-mounted seal that can maintain continuity with the edge of the door without being interrupted by perimeter hardware. Although it is not normally necessary to fit intumescent seals at the threshold of a fire door, a designated smoke-control door may require a flexible smoke seal that maintains contact with the floor or an automatic drop down smoke seal that is either face fixed or rebated into the bottom of the leaf. Recent guidance within BS 8214 Timber-based fire door assemblies. Code of practice4 recommends that smoke-control doors are sealed at the threshold as described or, where this is not practicable, that the threshold gap is to be controlled to 3mm. This does, however, conflict with the current guidance given within Approved Document B (Fire Safety),5 which states that the leaf of a designated smoke-control door is to have a leakage rate not exceeding 3m3/m/hour at the head and jambs only. Therefore, it is advised that the smoke sealing requirements are confirmed for a particular building prior to commencing with upgrading works. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

Protection Fire doors
Door frames may be hardwood or softwood for up to 30 minutes’ fire resistance, but they must: • be in good condition (or repaired using an appropriate approved repair technique) • have a minimum thickness of at least 30mm • be suitably fixed back to the supporting construction.
Frame to wall junction An important aspect that is frequently overlooked is the sealing of the frame to the surrounding structure. However, architraves and adjacent panels should be removed to check that no voids occur between the frame and the surrounding structure. If voids are present and remain unfilled, it is possible that a fire will consume the architrave or panel quickly and rapidly pass around the back of the frame to the ‘protected’ side of the door. The method of packing will depend on the size of the voids. BS 8214 contains guidance. If the situation on site does not match one of the methods given in BS 8214, specialist advice should be sought.

It is not necessary, in fire terms, to provide a threshold under a fire door, but it is advisable to avoid floor coverings running unbroken under the door. This is to prevent the spread of fire to the adjoining compartment by way of the floor covering; a metal carpet edging strip can provide a simple firebreak.
Frame construction Frame construction, specification and condition must be ascertained as it is an important aspect of the potential fire resistance performance of the door. Door frames for heritage doors can vary widely in terms of materials, dimensions and condition. Additionally, heritage door frames will often include ornate panelling that may conceal critical aspects of the door frame design or installation in terms of the door frame’s suitability for use as part of a fire-resisting door. This may require an invasive inspection in order to be confident that the frame is suitable for retaining for a fire-resisting application. www.trada.co.uk
Suitability of existing hardware It should not be assumed that existing hardware is suitable for use on a fire-resisting door or that it is sufficiently well fitted. For 20 or 30 minutes’ fire-resistance performance hinges must be a good-quality brass, steel or stainless steel, which would be expected to have a melting point in excess of 800°C. If the hinges to be used are particularly deep or broad they may constitute a risk to the integrity of the door either by preventing the intumescent seals from providing sufficient cover at the edges or by transferring heat close to the protected face of the leaf. In such cases additional intumescent protection will be required or it may be that the hardware is not suitable for a fire-resisting application and needs to be replaced. Note that replacement restraining hardware will need to be CE marked to comply with the requirements of the Construction Products Regulation (CPR). Latches should be as slim as possible to leave the maximum amount of the body of the door intact. Where the intention is to re-use an existing latch, and it has been confirmed as suitable for retaining for fire-resisting applications, it should be removed to check that no overmortising is present. A door may have been fitted with a variety of latches during its lifetime and old mortises cut for previous latches will not necessarily have been filled. Any overmortising should be made good by infilling with a suitable timber block. Additionally, it may be necessary to consider intumescent gasket protection to the lock forend, keep and body, particularly if the lock is large and/or interrupts the intumescent seals fitted in the frame reveal or leaf edge. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

Protection Fire doors
All fire doors, except those used as either duct or cupboard doors, should incorporate a self-closing mechanism. The door closer should be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and must have been tested on a door of similar construction.
Methods of upgrading There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ method of upgrading existing doors and the solution chosen will depend on the door construction, condition, situation and customer requirements. It is important to highlight that all methods of upgrading will need to have been tested on fire-resisting door designs that are appropriate and relevant to the door being upgraded. Proof of the tested performance for a particular method of upgrade does not guarantee it will be suitable for all door constructions. If there is any doubt about the applicability of an upgrading method, specialist advice should be sought. The following techniques have been used successfully in the past.
Facing the door leaf with a non-combustible board This is one of the easiest methods of upgrading, although it does create a visually unattractive result. It is, however, favoured by some heritage authorities as it is a reversible process; removing the facing returns the leaf to its original condition. If used, apply facings symmetrically to each face. The increased thickness and weight may affect the door frame and required hardware specification. Sandwiching panels For panelled doors, the weakest area is generally the panel itself. In many cases the timber will be less than 10mm thick at the thinnest point. One method of upgrading is to remove the panels, split them through their thickness and insert a sandwich material, either an appropriate intumescent sheet or a non-combustible board. This is more labour intensive than other approaches but does maintain the original finish, which can be important for heritage projects. However, depending on the sandwich method, the panel may be considerably thicker than the original panel which can alter the appearance of the door due to the depth of mouldings. Such methods also interfere with the original fabric of the door.
Intumescent paper Intumescent paper and card can be used to selectively protect vulnerable areas such as the fielded area of panelled www.trada.co.uk
doors. The application thickness is controlled by the thickness of the paper. The timber finish can be restored with a veneer.
Intumescent paints and varnishes Intumescent paints and varnishes are available for use on timber-based, fire-resisting door where a maximum performance of 30 minutes’ integrity is required. These products require specific application techniques and rely on the underlying condition of the door construction. As with all upgrading methods, take care to ensure that full-scale test data for the product is both available and appropriate for the application in question. It is likely that other upgrading measures will be required in conjunction with these paints and varnishes.
Identifying upgraded fire doors There are currently no requirements for upgraded fire doors to be marked in any particular way. However, when considerable care and effort has been spent on undertaking sympathetic upgrading it would prove helpful, at a future date, to identify the fact that upgrading work had been carried out to a particular standard. Therefore, a discreet method of permanent identification that will enable approving authorities to identify that the door has been upgraded, long after the actual work has been carried out, is recommended. n

Protection Modified wood
Understanding modified wood Gordon Ewbank reports on modified wood technologies.
W
ood modification involves the action of a chemical, biological or physical agent upon the material, resulting in a desired property enhancement effective for the service life of the modified wood. If the modification is intended for or confers improved resistance to biological attack, then the mode of action should, as far as can be determined, be non-biocidal. If in doubt, please check with manufacturer.
Characteristics of modified wood products For many end uses of wood, particularly where there is a risk of wood becoming wet, durability (resistance to biological attack) is seen as the key characteristic for determining its suitability for use. Most wood modification processes improve wood durability. However, improving durability is commonly not the sole effect of wood modification. Although a range of wood properties may be affected by the modification process, the suitability of modified wood for a given end use is based on three main criteria: • durability to wood-destroying organisms (fungi and insects) • strength • dimensional stability in changing humidity.
Durability Service environments have been categorised into a series of use classes in BS EN 335. Five classes define different service

situations on the basis of the likely biological hazard from the moisture conditions that may prevail.
Strength A measure of the ability of wood to resist outside forces, such as compression, tension and shear. Different aspects of strength may be more relevant than others for particular end uses. (Please check with manufacturers for product specific claims regarding effects on strength.)

Coatings for modified wood
Further information
Coatings may be applied to modified wood using both factory and manual techniques. The long-term performance of a coating and its maintenance requirements are both important factors. It is generally accepted that the more dimensionally stable a material is, the more likely that the frequency and cost of maintenance is reduced. Where modified wood is factory coated, it often comes with an extended warranty. The enhanced stability of modified wood is proving increasingly popular for joinery and external trim.
The WPA has two quality approved schemes for modified wood products. One provides an independent, expert assessment of the field data package underpinning claims for enhanced performance in use class 4 (ground contact); the second involves the independent auditing of factory production controls used in modified wood manufacture.

“Anything other than generic, composite products are manufactured to individual recipes and come in different shapes and sizes, all of which can have an impact on overall performance.”
T
imber decking is well established in terms of its performance and the attributes of different timber species are well known, but composite decking is relatively new to the market and its properties are not as fully understood. What is composite decking? The term ‘composite’ conveys ‘something that is made up of separate parts’. It is used generically in the decking industry to describe three different product types – some contain wood fibre, some do not: 1. Wood-polymer composite (WPC) – sometimes referred to as wood-plastic composite – and its principal component parts are wood fibre and polymer(s). Wood fibre can be any species of wood, ground into a ‘flour-like’ substance. 2. Natural Fibre Polymer (NFC) and its principal component parts are natural fibre and polymer(s), but not wood-based natural fibre. Natural fibre might be bamboo (a grass), rice husks, pulp fibres or peanut hulls, for example. 3. A mixture of ingredients, none of which can be described as natural fibre. The obvious example here is a commercial product that has a polyurethane top and a chemically bonded crushed stone, fibreglass and polyurethane core. The polymer (plastic) component can take on several forms but is typically high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polypropylene (PE). The polymer component might be virgin or recycled or a mixture of the two. Where recycled components are used, it is important that manufacturers build in a quality process to check for contaminants. Anything other than generic, composite products are manufactured to individual recipes and come in different shapes and sizes, all of which can have an impact on overall performance. In addition to the core ingredients, the use of multiple additives in the production process helps to ensure that the product is effective in use. These additives help tailor the product and can set the brand apart in terms of quality. >>

WPC WPC products are the most widely adopted by UK suppliers. Broadly speaking there are two profiles – hollow or solid, hollow being the least expensive. They may be capped with a thin layer of plastic. While there are two UK-based manufacturers, much of the UK’s composite requirement is imported from the US, Japan, France or Germany.
How is WPC decking is made? The basic manufacturing process is to blend then melt together finely ground dry wood fibres with ground polymer and powdered additives. The mixture is then extruded through an aperture plate to create the size and shape of the component required, then cooled. The finished product is then processed further to give the surface a more wood-like appearance, by either planing, embossing or capping. The principle is to fully encapsulate the wood fibre with the melted polymer to produce a homogenous mixture. It sounds simple but it is not. Wood fibre and plastic are natural enemies because wood contains moisture – water and plastic don’t mix. Excess moisture removal is therefore important and if compromised will lead to poor blending with an increased risk of product failure in service. www.trada.co.uk
Raw material quality control, colour stability, fibre dispersion, and controlled and even cooling are among the many factors to consider when producing a product of suitable density and quality. There are many instances during the manufacturing process where things can go wrong and many opportunities to take shortcuts.
How can you be sure that the product you choose will perform? Based on its involvement in several inferior performance claims, the Timber Decking and Cladding Association (TDCA) has concluded that it is probably best not to rely on the supplier’s product performance claims alone. If the product is quality-oriented, independent test data to support its physical and durability attributes should be available to underpin any performance claims made. If the supplier claims that the product will last a predicted length of time, ask to see evidence of how that claim is substantiated. If a performance guarantee is given, be sure to examine its terms and conditions, and be aware of who underwrites it – that will be who you or your client will need to deal with in the event of a claim. Testing methods for composite decking – WPC and NFC – are detailed in European Standard BS EN 15534-4. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook

DeckMark® accreditation scheme The TDCA has developed a new product approval scheme (PAS) for deck boards made from wood fibre polymer composites. The decision to launch the scheme was taken following a surge in the number of product complaints about underperforming composite products. Developed as a differentiator of product quality, the scheme identifies those products that can meet particular high standards. Based on BS EN 15534-4, the TDCA scheme document details the requirements, including seven mandatory tests that must have been undertaken by an independent, accredited test body to demonstrate compliance. The scheme also requires that clear, unambiguous information is given in terms of any guarantees, recycled content and if any infrastructure is in place to facilitate recycling. Ingredients of composite decking. Photo: TDCA
This standard gives pass/fail criteria for a whole range of properties including flexural, impact resistance, artificial weathering, UV stability/colour fade, durability, stability with changes in temperature, slip resistance and fire performance. You could ask to see such test data from independent test houses for the attributes required. Alternatively, you could check if the product is DeckMark® accredited under the TDCA’s product approval scheme.
How is WCA disposed of after service? The TDCA recommends consulting the product manufacturer for end of life disposal or recycling advice as it will be product specific. Some may accept the used product to go back into the production process. For others, it will be landfill. n www.trada.co.uk
Every data package submitted to the scheme is scrutinised by an expert panel before the product can be granted approval. Ultimately, the approved products will strive to achieve and maintain the accredited DeckMark® status. The aim of the scheme is to provide the market with a means of identifying good-quality products whose claims can be substantiated with independently verified and relevant test data. Accredited WPC companies will be able to carry the esteemed TDCA DeckMark® logo, providing the specifier and consumer with confidence in their choices.

Landscape and exteriors Cladding
Exterior timber cladding – a coating conundrum Contemporary advances in coatings technology have led to an increased variety of available board profiles and decorative options for exterior timber cladding. Peter Kaczmar examines the pros and cons of specifying uncoated or finished timber as a cladding material.
A
rchitects and specifiers now have an extended palette of design possibilities enabling them to be ever more imaginative in the way timber, as a cladding material, is used. However, this rise in popularity of timber cladding as a means of protecting the outer facade of dwellings in the UK has been a protracted process. This was due mainly to the performance limitations of the paint finishes originally available for its decoration. These coating systems were mainly alkyd-based, were relatively impermeable and brittle, and tended to trap moisture behind them. This would eventually manifest itself in premature peeling and cracking of the paint (Figure 1), which created a labour-intensive maintenance issue often requiring large areas of flaking paintwork to be removed back to bare wood before being repainted. This led to an early disenchantment with timber as a cladding material, and undermined its popularity for decades. Significant improvements in the performance of paint systems eventually reversed this trend. The development of acrylic, vapour permeable coating systems, which enable entrapped moisture to vent out of the wood, meant that coating failures could be significantly reduced (Figure 2).

www.trada.co.uk
There is now a large array of timber cladding design options available. Paradoxically, these extended design possibilities, together with more informed architectural detailing practices, have led to greater experimentation with unfinished cladding systems (Figure 3). This has resulted in a move favouring the specification of Figure 2: Shingle House, Dungeness. uncoated cladding, Photo: Charles Hosea Photography driven mainly by the prospect of obviating the necessity for periodic redecoration, with significant savings in long-term maintenance costs. Additionally, the high cost associated with the erection of scaffolding has been a factor in delays to, or the omission of, timely maintenance cycles of finished cladding – maintenance that is vital in extending the lifetime of surface coatings. >>

Problems with uncoated cladding However, the use of uncoated cladding is not without its own issues, not least because of the unpredictable or inconsistent manner in which unprotected wood surfaces may behave and respond to the influence of solar radiation (Figure 4). Architects often specify uncoated cladding as a means of reducing maintenance costs, lured by the prospect of achieving a uniform, aesthetically attractive, silver-grey ‘patina’ to the wood as the cladding gradually weathers naturally with age.
For example, canopies or features that cast shadows onto the cladding will, over time, bring about the development of differential weathering patterns on the facade or, alternatively, bring about unsightly ‘tide marks’ created by the movement of water-soluble extractives naturally present within the wood (Figures 6, 7 and 8). In this context, ample consideration should be given, not only to the placement of uncoated cladding on the building but also to the propensity of certain ‘extractiverich’ species (such as oak, Western red cedar, iroko and sweet chestnut), to cause irregular and unsightly tide marks on building facades, particularly beneath canopies and overhangs. >>
Figure 4: Uncoated oak cladding installed beneath overhead walkway showing differential bleaching, weathering and discolouration reflecting differential levels of direct solar radiation received
However, this expectation may not always be achieved. Over time, uncoated cladding can often develop uneven and unsightly black surface disfigurement, caused by the growth of melanised (black) yeasts that use the breakdown products of lignin (the polymer that binds the wood cells together) as a nutrient source (Figure 5).
Figure 6: Uncoated western red cedar cladding showing gradation in weathering patterns beneath recessed facade
Figure 5: Uncoated western red cedar cladding showing typical disfigurement caused by the growth of melanised surface yeasts
Other surface phenomena can arise on unfinished cladding as a direct consequence of the design of the building. In this regard, architects should be mindful that design features that can alter the weathering patterns of building facades can also play a pivotal role in the manner in which uncoated cladding systems behave. www.trada.co.uk

• Open-jointed systems, being more tolerant of greater inservice movement, are usually coated with low-build stains. Such coatings may require maintenance as much as every two years or even annually in situations of severe exposure, although their maintenance requirement may only involve a simple wash with detergent followed by reapplication of a single maintenance coat if carried out regularly. • Close-jointed systems are often coated with high-build opaque paints or stains in order to moderate in-service movement. In such cases, the interval to first maintenance may be five years or more. However, in the event of failure, these systems are far more labour intensive, requiring the removal of all failed and friable coating material down to the level of bare wood. Careful consideration must also be given to the choice of colour when using opaque or semi-translucent finishes on cladding since, on south- and west-facing facades, excessive solar gain can be responsible for raising the surface temperature by as much as 60°C. This can lead to fissuring (Figure 9) or distortion of cladding boards, popping of nail fixings or shelling effects (Figure 1) where bands of latewood on tangentially cut boards can detach away from the surface.
Figure 8: Uncoated western red cedar cladding showing migration of extractives caused by differential exposure to water runoff during cycles of rain.
Considerations of maintenance The advantage of applying a surface coating to cladding is that the majority of the above-described disfigurement issues and differential weathering patterns can be prevented, albeit at the expense of a periodic maintenance requirement. An important distinction must be made between maintenance requirements for finished and uncoated timber cladding. For finished cladding: the application of a coating imposes an assured maintenance requirement (and cost). For uncoated cladding: maintenance is not assured and may only be required occasionally or sporadically, depending on the nature of the disfigurement, and then only by way of power washing the surface, involving relatively little expenditure or effort. The maintenance requirement associated with different coatings on cladding systems can vary dramatically, depending on whether they form a close-jointed, continuous facade, or an open-jointed rainscreen. www.trada.co.uk
Figure 9: Siberian larch cladding (south-west aspect) showing end splitting of board caused by solar gain due to cladding being coated black
Modified wood In recent years, the commercialisation of modified wood substrates, which can also be used as exterior cladding systems, has significantly extended the periods to first maintenance of the coatings applied over them. The significantly improved dimensional stability of modified substrates can also reduce in-service distortion of boards and extend maintenance intervals of surface coatings. In some cases these improvements can extend coating maintenance intervals by as much as 15 years (Figure 10). However, as environmental pressures on all aspects of the construction industry take hold, it must be recognised that >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook
| 215
Landscape and exteriors Cladding
Figure 10: Accoya® cladding at Spire Nottingham Hospital
applying a coating to the cladding, as well as using a modified wood substrate, increases the embodied energy of the system. This increase may, or may not, be offset in the longer term by way of an extended life cycle, depending on the adequacy and diligence of the maintenance programmes effected (again underscoring the vital role continued maintenance plays in extending the functional lifespan of coated cladding systems).
It is true to say that both coated and uncoated cladding options are capable of delivering striking and stunning end results but, as with all undertakings in the construction sector, long-lived success only comes with adequate and sympathetic understanding of the materials used. n
About the author
Conversely, while considerations of added energy embodiment will be less of an issue with uncoated (and nonmodified) wood substrates, their functional lifespan will likely be shorter on account of the greater dimensional stresses the uncoated boards are required to tolerate in service.
Coated or uncoated? There is no easy formula that provides guidance on when coated or uncoated timber cladding should be specified in any given situation since, as always, such decisions are driven as much by personal preference and cost than by technical rationale. There are advantages and disadvantages in using both approaches, but there is commonality between the two strategies insofar as both demand that the client is made aware of their respective limitations and that expectations are managed accordingly. www.trada.co.uk

External timber cladding – updated guidance Dr Ivor Davies gives the background to the forthcoming External timber cladding 4th edition – the definitive industry guide.
M
uch has happened since the publication of the 3rd edition of External timber cladding in 2013. The market for external timber cladding has continued to expand, driven by the material’s unique combination of practicality, visual appeal and performance benefits. At the same time, however, questions have been raised about how appropriate timber is as a cladding material on some types of building.
Why is updated guidance needed? When external timber cladding is used on small buildings and sheltered sites, it is straightforward to design and install. But the growing use of external timber cladding on larger and more complex building projects has increased the associated
risks. This means that external timber cladding now needs to meet similar performance standards to those cladding materials with a longer history in demanding applications. Accurate and up-to-date design guidance is needed. These issues were brought to the fore by the Grenfell Tower disaster in June 2017. Although no timber was involved in the fire, questions have since been raised about the safety of all types of combustible cladding material. The four sets of UK Building Regulations are also being updated. Some timber industry bodies have responded to these challenges by updating their guidance on the fire safety of timber-clad facades. While these initiatives are an essential first response, they are not a substitute for the more wideranging treatment of the subject that only a new and fully revised edition of External timber cladding can provide. A further impetus for updating the guidance is the BSI publication of revised BS 8605 – the British Standard for external timber cladding. The revised Standard is in two parts: • BS 8605-1 gives methods of specifying the characteristics of external timber cladding; it does not include other components in the cladding assembly, such as support battens.

www.trada.co.uk
• BS 8605-2 (not yet published) gives best practice recommendations for designing and installing all parts of the external timber cladding assembly, and it provides specification guidance on those components in the assembly that BS 8605-1 does not cover. >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook
| 219
Landscape and exteriors Cladding
External timber cladding 4th edition The 4th edition of External timber cladding will mainly focus on the key recommendations in BS 8605-2. It explains the background to and practical application of those recommendations, while giving additional guidance – on timber-clad roofs, for example – that is not available in the BS 8605 series. For ease of use, the guidance will be structured in a similar way to BS 8605-2. The new edition of External timber cladding will include: • an outline of the benefits of timber compared to other cladding materials • discussion of each stage in the design and construction process • expanded guidance on fire safety and structural performance • new construction details for the main connections and junctions on a timber-clad wall • information on the latest material options such as modified woods and surface coatings.
The guidance on fire safety and structural performance is particularly important.
Fire safety In recent years considerable effort has been devoted to developing fire-safe solutions for timber-clad facades. This work has been carried out in several countries, most notably in Finland, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Building regulations in these countries have been updated to take account of the research findings and this has created new opportunities for timber. In Finland, for example, market research has found that people feel safer in a timber-framed and timber-clad building, built to the new generation of fire regulations, than in an all-concrete building constructed in accordance with previous legislation. The UK is in the process of adopting the latest fire safety measures for facades, although their implementation varies between the four sets of UK Building Regulations. This is unavoidable because these regulations need to take account of local conditions such as building practices and climate. Statutory documents supporting these regulations restrict the use of combustible cladding materials (such as timber) in some circumstances. In most cases, however, timber-clad facades on low- and medium-rise buildings are capable of meeting provisions in the statutory documents providing that the cladding design and construction follows best practice as described in BS 8605-2. Therefore, although external timber cladding might be restricted in some applications, such as on tall buildings, this is not necessarily a problem. Most countries with widespread use of timber construction already restrict timber cladding on tall buildings and some high-risk uses. The revised guidance will highlight where the current legislative changes could be an opportunity for external timber cladding to expand its market share in specific applications.
Structural performance The 4th edition also offers guidance on the structural performance of external timber cladding. UK Building Regulations require consideration of the structural performance of external cladding. This is because external cladding can present a life safety hazard if it becomes detached from the building due to wind damage, or if there is inadequate provision for movement or self-weight. The risk of wind damage is greatest on high-rise buildings and those in exposed locations. Movement and self-weight risks can occur on any size of building.

has updated the guidance on cladding connections so that it is evidence based. This means that some longestablished practices are no longer recommended. The structural design of an external timber cladding assembly needs to be in accordance with the relevant structural Eurocodes. The guidance in BS 8605-2 is consistent with these documents although – being simplified – it is necessarily conservative. External timber cladding will give clearer and more concise structural information than can be provided in the Standard. n

assemblies are non-loadbearing, they need to be capable of carrying their self-weight and any imposed loads and transmitting them to the building’s structure. This capacity needs to be maintained for the design life of the building, assuming anticipated maintenance. Traditionally, structural engineers have not been involved in the design of external timber cladding assemblies, except on some tall buildings or when checking the work of others during post-completion assessments. This can lead to problems if the cladding assembly is not designed to ensure that it will be robust in its service conditions. There are four issues to consider: • loads acting from the cladding onto the structure • self weight • attachment of the cladding assembly • movement and tolerances. Loads acting on the structure are the responsibility of the building’s project engineer, whereas the other three issues are normally the concern of the cladding designer. Consequently, BS 8605-2 gives simplified engineering design guidance that can be used by non-engineers in most circumstances and highlights those conditions where a full structural analysis is advisable. Guidance for external timber cladding connections has developed over time and is often based on ‘rule of thumb’ instead of engineering calculation. Consequently, BS 8605-2 www.trada.co.uk

Education Architecture
Teaching construction to first-year architecture and architectural technology students
Architecture has evolved considerably over the past few decades. Maria Vogiatzaki explores the route to contemporary teaching and practice, and explains how Anglia Ruskin University embeds this in its teaching programme with a combined cohort of students.
U
p to the early 1970s, the prevalence of the positivist, scientific, truth-based paradigm of architectural design as a process to be dictated by rationality, shaped the teaching of construction as the teaching of the basics related to building materials and techniques. Schools of architecture taught these basics in isolation from the design studio, covering the properties of the most popular materials such as stone, concrete, timber, glass and steel, and the standard construction details for their various roles in a building. In parallel, to be consistent with the conception of the rationalistic nature of architecture, teaching included familiarising students with the basics of structural design calculations.1 The industrial context and mass-production lines that yielded identical elements promoted the idea of standardisation.
Modern developments In the postmodern 1970s and 1980s, architectural design was guided by the humanities. The focus was on the meaning of a design gesture, bridging polarities – such as the old and the new, the modern and the traditional, the local and the global. This, alongside the invention of new building materials, introduced new construction techniques, which would accommodate these materials and combine them with the traditional ones.2 Stretching materials to their limits was seen as the definition of innovative architecture. Deviation from the rules and the basics were initially the pursuits of avant-garde schools of architecture, but later on many other educational institutions followed suit increasing complexity in teaching construction by means of resolving the complex construction of a complex building. www.trada.co.uk
Schools of thought from the Beaux Arts, the Arts and Crafts and the Bauhaus addressed the bonds between thinking and making, between an idea and its materialisation. From the 1990s onwards, there have been cases where the sequence from idea to building was inverted, with materials and techniques dictating the form a building would attain. Information technology, AI and robotics, and algorithmic thinking have all become equal players alongside the architect in contemporary architectural practice. One-off, bespoke manufacturing techniques often become the hallmark of design and building innovation in response to the prevailing idea of uniqueness and originality.3 With the development of digital design and fabrication tools, from software to hardware, the building industry offers unique, yet repeatable, mass customised artefacts. The current climate emergency has led to vocal appeals for the design and construction industry to address its responsibilities for the impact of building on the environment.4 The era of Big Data and the Internet of Things, combined with the evolution of smartness in building contributes to a more environmentally conscious built environment.
A new approach In this context, Anglia Ruskin University has redesigned its first-year course of architecture and architectural technology to articulate all the above-mentioned issues and offer its students an updated approach. Our conviction is twofold: both architects and architectural technologists are taught together to exchange expertise, and construction is appreciated in the context of the design studio.
1. For whom do we design? The first question ‘for whom?’ do we design, the ‘Anthropos in its scientific and humanitarian conception’, is partly answered through an appreciation of its social and physical entity >> Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook
| 223
Education Architecture
manifested through its anatomy that allow it to practice its everyday activities. By appreciating the sizing of the parts of the human body and the limitation it has due to its anatomy and structure, we can therefore appreciate its capacities and limitations and can therefore design for it accordingly. First-year students measure a real model and then make a one-to-one scale model. This helps them to appreciate the sizing and limitations of what a body can or cannot do.
2. Where do we design? The focus of the London study visit is on public building extensions, sensitivity to the sense of place, juxtaposing or blending the old and the new, or the natural and the artificial are the focus of the London study visit. Students record and communicate their impressions by annotating drawings and images on the materiality of the old and the new, and the palette of materials and spectrum of techniques employed on each occasion. They thus become familiar with the diachronic modification of the relationship between form and materiality. What do we design and how? Work focuses on the basic geometric elements; namely the point, the line, the surface and the volume; a consciously reductionist simplification that constrains design to its geometric and volumetric qualities. Various everyday objects are selected, a rule (algorithm) is invented to allow difference and repetition, multiplication, mutation and choreographing through abstraction, for an artefact to come about – all communicated through both drawings and physical models. Iterative processes unfold, physical models are made, materials are harnessed, and techniques are deployed, persevering in achieving the transition from an idea, a concept and a rule to a built form through materiality.
The pavilion project The first-year effort culminates in the building of a 1:1 pavilion out of timber – a true hands-on experience. From the previous phase, students compete and select among themselves the strongest artefacts that emerge able to offer shelter. They elaborate on the artefact from 1:50 to 1:1 construction details, turning it into a small-size pavilion for the school yard, appreciating the various scales appropriate to investigate the different degree of detail and their usefulness to various audiences, from clients, to design partners, to fellow engineers, to builders. The teaching group of architects is enriched by structural engineers, architectural technologists and industrial partners.

The design phase is followed by the feasibility study, the production of working drawings, the design of the construction sequence and, finally, the manual machine labour starts.

A pavilion is an ideal vehicle because: • it is appropriate to accommodate a smooth transition from the initial exercises that preceded • it is a small-scale built form, accomplishable in both design and construction, easily and quickly • despite the fact that it is a building, it does not require weatherproofing, allowing the students to concentrate on thinking, designing the form, resolving the structural elements, the key joints and the overall ground-to-sky progression • it is light and does not impact the site • it is demountable and can be taken down and transported easily, a requirement that adds an extra challenge. Timber is the chosen material because: • from an educational point of view, timber is a familiar material students already use to produce models (balsa wood, plywood and skewer sticks)
Education Architecture
• from a practical point of view, timber is malleable and light compared to other materials, comes ready to use in various shapes and sizes, and requires easily available tools • from a structural point of view, timber can work both in tension as well as in compression • from an ecological point of view, timber is one of the least hazardous materials to the environment and is sustainable • from a health and safety point of view, timber is neither toxic nor dangerous for the students to use. After running this pedagogical experiment for one year, the role of an industrial partner is crucial for its success. Thankfully, the liaison between TRADA and the teaching team was impeccable. Samples of various timbers and timber products were brought to the studio, a lecture on timber was delivered and printed material was disseminated. TRADA participated in all meetings on the contest to choose the most realisable pavilion, to work on the feasibility and discuss the construction sequence. TRADA, working with the East Anglia Timber Trade Association, brought the material sponsors – UPM, Meyer and Hoppings – on board, also introducing us to and facilitating the CNC material cutting phase at Grymsdyke Farm. It took a week to prepare, laminate and glue the elements and install fixings into the ground. The on-site assembly took an additional week.

Both staff and students have gained immensely from this experience. This initiation repositions architecture away from its clear-cut distinctions of being either about the arts or about science, as its hybrid nature oscillates between the two. Our teaching approach is trying to embrace the contemporary role of architecture and architectural technology to be creative, innovative, relevant and aware of the social and political context in which it is bred. n

T I M B E R C O N S U LTA N C Y FROM BM TR ADA
We carry out timber investigations, laboratory work and site inspections for a wide range of clients, including architects, engineers, building contractors, timber suppliers, heritage specialists, local authorities and organisations which maintain infrastructure, such as rail, highways, energy and communications. BM TRADA’s team of timber technical experts offer a range of diverse activities, including those relating to: HERITAGE BUILDINGS
EXPERT WITNESS
BM TRADA’s timber condition surveys provide a non-destructive method of evaluating structural and decorative timber components in listed buildings. We use specialist survey equipment to assess the condition of the hidden sections of timbers embedded in walls. Our condition surveys also include moisture content surveys in order to assess the risk to timber presented by water penetration into buildings and are complemented with in-situ visual strength grading of timber, so we can advise customers on the strength of historic timbers in heritage buildings.
BM TRADA provides expert witnesses for legal disputes involving timber and wood products. Typical disputes question compliance with specifications, Standards or Building Regulations, performance in service, or trades descriptions. Our opinions are impartial and objective. We can assist in settlement without proceeding to court. We recommend that expert witness advice should be sought at the earliest opportunity. BRIDGES AND STRUCTURES
BM TRADA undertakes surveys of structural timber in a wide range of external applications - such as bridges, piers and decks - where timber is exposed to a range of high risk environments. Our experts are trained to identify the agents of decay, evaluate the condition and strength of timber and to determine its future performance.
Our team of experts understand the balance between intervention and preservation of historic fabric and our non-destructive inspection techniques can minimise the disturbance of it. We provide the evidence and justification for targeted opening works in order to understand how the building was constructed, which materials were used and what condition they are in - key considerations for structural assessment.
230 |
Timber 2020 Industry Yearbook
Our condition-based approach to timber inspection is an essential first step which determines defects such as decay and/or mechanical failure that could endanger safety and reliability of structures. Our expertise enables asset managers to co-ordinate both decisions and actions in relation to ongoing maintenance. This in turn can deliver an improved asset service life and a more efficient use of resources, along with more effective risk management which can extend the remaining service life of timber structures.
TIMBER FENCING AND BARRIER A SSESSMENTS
