Module 1 \u2013 Introduction &#038; Project Planning Provides an overview of mass timber, highlights the advantages of prefabrication, and outlines key early-stage considerations for optimizing design. Module 2 \u2013 Design Optimization Considerations Explores critical aspects of design including structural performance, fire protection, acoustics, and vibration. Module 3 \u2013 Early Construction Strategies Focuses on Building Information Modeling (BIM), Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), systems integration, and best practices for building envelope and moisture management. Module 4 \u2013 Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Examines the importance of carbon accounting, introduces available LCA tools, and discusses broader sustainability and biophilia considerations.
