Dallas is experiencing the hottest housing market in its history – or at least since the oil boom of the early 20th Century. In this symposium, Architectural Record will examine a range of new multi-unit housing options, recently completed or under construction, with a panel of Dallas architects who specialize in designing this building type. From 3- to 5-unit town homes (often replacing single-family homes in increasingly dense neighborhoods) to new and rehabilitated affordable housing to new apartment towers and downtown warehouse conversions, our speakers will address the multitude and variety of housing being built for most income levels.

CEU Session Presented by ZIP System Sheathing
| Session Topic: HEW 502 Air, Water and Moisture Management in Light Commercial Building Envelopes Identifies vapor differences in both physical properties and behavior; identifies the four D’s of water management; explores the physics of air and moisture movement through the building enclosure; recognizes pitfalls with how today’s buildings are being designed and built; identifies alternative moisture and air barrier design solutions; and identifies potential liabilities and solutions of typical commercial walls. | Presenting Partner:  |
CEU Session Presented by WoodWorks
Session Topic:
Mid-Rise and Beyond: The Growing Landscape for Mid-Rise and Taller Wood Buildings
The use of wood-frame construction for mid-rise projects is innovative in its ability to achieve multiple, simultaneous objectives. Wood is a code-compliant solution to the issue of how to cost-effectively increase density while creating vibrant urban environments. A renewable resource, it can also help meet the sustainability requirements of even the most stringent green building rating systems, while offering the additional benefit of carbon sequestration.
The innovative use of wood is in fact changing the skyline. Increasingly, five- and six-story wood buildings are rising up among traditional concrete and steel shells as designers and developers embrace timber’s vast potential for lower costs, faster installation, and a significantly lighter carbon footprint. Through the use of case studies, this session will showcase recently completed projects that illustrate this trend. Topics will include current code allowances for mid-rise wood buildings, design strategies and environmental performance. Discussion will also touch on the international trend toward even taller wood buildings, made possible by emerging research and the development of advanced wood products and technologies
