TRADA presents green timber construction seminar

TRADA Technology, Carpenter Oak and Woodland and Lomond Timber Frame are staging another Green Oak seminars to explain how to design cost effective buildings using green post and beam framing.

The event takes place in Scotland on Wednesday 8 September 2010 at the Carnegie Conference Centre, Dunfermline, Fife.

This one-day seminar is aimed at anyone interested in developing an understanding of green timber frame as a construction method.

The day will focus on bringing together post and beam structural framing and panelised envelopes into a cohesive all timber, wind- and weathertight solution.

The event will include a tour of the Aspire Centre at Carnegie College, Dunfermline.

This hybrid structure using glulam, green timber, engineered timber boards and steel connections provides a great opportunity to see how a timber structure performs over time.

The seminar concludes with a report on Dynamic Breathing Insulation Systems and how this innovative approach to low carbon buildings has been incorporated into timber frame buildings.

The cost is GBP99.00 + VAT for TRADA members and GBP115.00 + VAT for non-members.

As an extra benefit, every delegate will receive a free TRADA publication, either Green oak in construction or Timber frame construction, 4th edition.
