Integrating Mechanical Services in a Mass Timber Building: A Case Study at Tall Timber Student Housing

A Living Labs Lecture: November 16

BCIT’s Tall Timber Student housing will feature a system of specially designed mass timber assemblies throughout the building. Using these prefabricated panels allows for a much quicker installation of the building’s structure. But how do you coordinate using prefabricated mass timber with all the other mechanical and electrical services that need to be installed in a major building?

In this lecture two of key members of the team working on the mechanical systems at Tall Timber Student Housing will discuss how these issues are addressed in a practical setting. Introba are the Mechanical Consultants for the Student Housing project and Enersolv will be installing the mechanical systems in the building.

The topics include how to distribute the pipes and ducts through the building, installation of rooftop equipment and how to work with the physical properties of mass timber.

Speakers:

• Chris Doel MEng, CEng, MCIBSE, LEED Green Associate, Senior Vice President, Canada, Introba
• Callum Reid, Project Manager, Enersolv Design + Build Ltd
