Workshop Abstract:

Mid-rise construction continues to gain momentum as an affordable, sustainable and efficient solution for urban development. However, these projects come with unique design and performance challenges that demand innovative approaches. This workshop brings together industry experts to explore key considerations in mid-rise construction, including:

Design Challenges & Solutions – Examining structural, zoning, and material selection complexities and the strategies to overcome them.

Building Enclosure: Lessons Learned – Reviewing best practices for durability, energy efficiency, and moisture management in mid-rise enclosures.

Acoustic Considerations – Addressing sound transmission challenges and effective mitigation techniques for multi-unit buildings.

Through case studies, expert insights, and interactive discussions, this workshop will provide valuable knowledge to architects, engineers, and developers looking to optimize mid-rise building performance.
