Rosaline Hill Principal Architect, Senior Planner, Development Consultant RJH Architecture & BuildingIN Most people prefer to live in low-rise areas, on tree-lined streets, close to transit, in communities that are well serviced and walkable. Few municipal housing strategies target this vision or focus on existing low-rise neighbourhoods. But this housing niche holds the potential to transform our cities and pull us out of housing crisis. Low-rise multi-unit repeatable infill housing in existing urban neighbourhoods is the key to housing supply and municipal fiscal sustainability. At the same time, it is the most affordable way to dramatically reduce household emissions. Housing, fiscal and environmental sustainability, with new homes in the kinds of neighbourhoods people love – it is a win for all. So why aren’t developers building this? They are not allowed, or can’t make a profit doing it. But municipalities can change that! The BuildingIN team has leveraged housing industry knowledge to understand the financial and regulatory barriers to this housing solution. Using GIS, we map our advanced housing market response forecasting to show cumulative outcomes for housing, fiscal and emissions reductions across low-rise urban areas. With this powerful simulation tool, we have reverse engineered a solution for municipalities. As a winner of the CMHC Housing Supply Challenge, BuildingIN is able to provide municipalities with a full suite of services; to quickly implement regulatory changes and establish necessary investment strategies, so that developers will build the housing we need and want, over and over and over again. We enable municipalities to plan with certainty and make evidence based decisions, instead of the age-old ‘make some adjustments’ then ‘wait and see’ approach. Our team has been researching, testing, and simulating solutions for neighborhoods for the past 6 years. This has led us to the creation of BuildingIN – a transformational solution to our country’s housing supply challenge.

Présentation du cours À la fin de l'année 2014, après des années de recherche et de développement dans le domaine des produits et systèmes en bois de pointe, des modifications apportées à l'édition 2012 du Code du bâtiment de l'Ontario (OBC) sont entrées en vigueur, autorisant la construction en bois de bâtiments de moyenne hauteur, tant résidentiels que de bureaux, pouvant atteindre six étages. Cela a marqué un tournant important, élargissant l'utilisation de la construction à ossature de bois léger au-delà de la limite de hauteur précédente de 4 étages et ouvrant de nouvelles perspectives pour des solutions de construction rentables et polyvalentes. Afin d’améliorer l’accessibilité financière et d’harmoniser le code avec le Code national du bâtiment, l’OBC 2012 a fait l’objet de modifications supplémentaires à la mi-2023 pour autoriser l’utilisation de revêtements et de sorties partiellement combustibles dans les constructions en bois de moyenne hauteur. Ces modifications, accompagnées de quelques changements rédactionnels mineurs, ont également été reprises dans l’édition 2024 de l’OBC, entrée en vigueur le 1er janvier 2025. Cette présentation donnera un aperçu des changements techniques et réglementaires apportés au COB en ce qui concerne la conception et la construction de bâtiments en bois de moyenne hauteur et explorera le rôle de ce type de bâtiment dans la réalisation de nos objectifs en matière de logement grâce à une construction abordable, de haute qualité et durable. Objectifs d'apprentissage Comprendre l'intention, la portée et l'application des changements techniques et réglementaires ainsi que les principales dispositions de l'OBC 2024 relatives à la construction en bois de moyenne hauteur en Ontario. Explorer les avantages des bâtiments en bois de 5 et 6 étages pour les efforts de création de logements en Ontario à travers le potentiel du marché, les points forts des projets et le rôle des méthodes de construction modernes. Savoir comment accéder à des ressources gratuites en matière de conception et de bonnes pratiques pour la construction en bois de moyenne hauteur, et comment bénéficier du soutien gratuit de WoodWorks pour vos projets.

Ce numéro de Wood Design & Building porte, à bien des égards, sur les relations. Les relations entre les matériaux et le lieu, entre l'éducation et la pratique, et entre la foresterie et l'environnement bâti. Et peut-être encore plus important, les relations qui se tissent entre les personnes, à chaque étape du parcours, de la forêt à la construction terminée, qui partagent leurs connaissances, leur expérience et leur passion pour les bâtiments en bois. Cet échange de connaissances renforce la confiance, les compétences et la collaboration au sein de la communauté de la conception et de la construction. Dans notre entretien avec le Dr Blériot Feujofack, directeur de l'éducation au Conseil canadien du bois, nous explorons comment les nouvelles opportunités d'apprentissage et les connaissances accessibles du secteur aident à préparer la prochaine génération de concepteurs et de constructeurs. Dans l'article de Lloyd Alter, "A Treehugger Goes Logging", on nous rappelle que construire avec du bois, c'est aussi comprendre d'où vient le matériau et apprécier la profondeur des connaissances nécessaires pour gérer les forêts de manière durable. En partageant les perspectives de la foresterie, de la fabrication et de la construction, l'article met en lumière les personnes et les pratiques qui façonnent le matériau bien avant qu'il n'atteigne l'environnement bâti. Cet esprit de collaboration et d'apprentissage partagé se reflète également dans nos projets phares. À Saskatoon, l'école misiwe-kisik | One Sky démontre comment l'engagement d'une équipe de projet à faire quelque chose de spécial pour la communauté a contribué à favoriser la collaboration et l'innovation nécessaires pour utiliser du bois lamellé-collé cloué centenaire, récupéré d'anciens silos à grains désaffectés. Le nom cri du projet, reflétant la connexion, l'appartenance et la relation entre les communautés, semble tout aussi pertinent pour un secteur de plus en plus façonné par la collaboration et l'ambition partagée. Ce qui rend ce moment remarquable, ce n'est pas seulement ce que nous construisons, mais la manière dont nous apprenons à le construire ensemble.

Notez la date ! WoodWorks Alberta et le Conseil canadien du bois présenteront la conférence Wood Solutions à Calgary en novembre — et vous ne voudrez pas la manquer. Les billets seront disponibles cet automne ! Restez à l'écoute pour les mises à jour sur les inscriptions hâtives et les détails de l'événement.

Présentation générale de la formation Cette présentation met en avant la gamme d’outils de conception incendie en ligne et gratuits proposés par le Conseil canadien du bois : CodeCHEK, l’outil FRR & STC et le calculateur pour les structures en bois massif apparent. CodeCHEK permet aux équipes de projet d’évaluer les possibilités de construction en bois conformes aux codes en analysant les caractéristiques clés du bâtiment, telles que la hauteur, la superficie, la présence de gicleurs et plus encore, en mettant en évidence les pistes de solutions alternatives et en précisant où les éléments en bois peuvent être autorisés dans des bâtiments qui, autrement, devraient être construits en matériaux incombustibles. L’outil FRR & STC (indice de résistance au feu et classe de transmission du son) aide les concepteurs à déterminer les indices génériques de résistance au feu des assemblages de murs, de planchers et de toitures à ossature bois légère à l’aide de la méthode additive des composants décrite à l’annexe D du CNB, qui est mentionnée comme solution acceptable à la section 3.1 du CNB et peut être utilisée pour les bâtiments des parties 3 et 9. De plus, l'outil fournit la valeur de la classe de transmission du son (STC) associée à chaque assemblage de mur ou de plancher pour lequel des informations STC sont disponibles. Le calculateur de bois massif apparent aide les utilisateurs à évaluer si les conceptions d'exposition/d'encapsulation des compartiments en bois massif sont conformes aux dispositions du Code national du bâtiment du Canada 2025 en évaluant les données des compartiments par rapport aux critères applicables et en générant des avertissements lorsque les configurations ne sont pas conformes au code, ce qui en fait un outil pratique de présélection et d'apprentissage qui complète (mais ne remplace pas) l'analyse détaillée du code et le jugement professionnel. Objectifs d'apprentissage Évaluer les possibilités de conformité au code pour les constructions en bois à l'aide de l'outil CodeCHEK en analysant les paramètres clés du bâtiment (par exemple, la hauteur, la superficie et la présence de sprinklers) et en identifiant les pistes possibles pour des solutions alternatives. Appliquer l'outil FRR & STC pour concevoir des assemblages conformes en déterminant les indices de résistance au feu et les performances de transmission acoustique des systèmes légers de murs, planchers et toitures à ossature bois à l'aide de la méthode additive des composants. Évaluer les stratégies d’exposition et d’encapsulation du bois massif à l’aide du calculateur de bois massif exposé afin de vérifier la conformité aux dispositions du Code national du bâtiment du Canada 2025 et de faciliter la prise de décision dès les premières étapes de la conception.
