Among SLB-funded programs, WoodWorks has the unique role of working directly with building design and construction professionals to change the way they build, increasing the use of wood in commercial and multi-family buildings. In this webinar, WoodWorks President and CEO, Jennifer Cover, will explain why their fundamental approach of education and direct technical support enables them to predict and respond to evolving market needs, and how their nimble approach is key to expanding the use of wood in U.S. buildings. She’ll demonstrate why WoodWorks’ emphasis on encouraging developers and designers to build larger projects than they’ve previously done, use innovative wood materials, and expansion to new building types, is helping facilitate a favorable shift toward wood within firms."

The Softwood Lumber Board (SLB) investment direction relies on having up-to-date market metrics. This allows the SLB and its partners to react to, and often lead, market developments that affect softwood lumber demand. In this webinar, FPInnovations Lead Researcher, Dr. David Fell, will provide an update on key market metrics, drivers, and demand in the residential, non-residential, industrial, and repair and remodelling markets. The presentation will then dive deeper into an analysis of market scenarios that can potentially boost or hinder demand in the future. This will include topics such as new tall wood codes, mass timber, ultra-low energy buildings, and a non-residential market segmentation.
