Managing Moisture at Mass Timber Student Housing Project

The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) in British Columbia is expanding its Abbotsford Campus with several buildings including student housing. Clark Builders, a division of Turner Construction, is leading the construction of the 400-bed six-story residence set to open in 2025. The 149,400-square-foot hybrid structure is comprised of reinforced concrete, mass timber, and light wood framing. The UFV Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) team was keen to incorporate a multi-faceted humidity control system into the temporary heating plan to ensure optimal conditions were maintained for the light wood framing and cross-laminated timber (CLT) floor system throughout the winter months.

Managing humidity in a NCAA ice rink

Despite being thrilling venues for sports and recreation, indoor ice rinks are often faced with humidity challenges that cause condensation and fog. Humidity issues stem from various factors including arena spectators, rink users, inadequate ventilation, and temperature differentials. When moisture condenses on cold surfaces, such as ice, it can create disruptive fog and sweating or water droplets that cover seats, glass partitions, and the ice surface itself. If not addressed and managed properly issues like these can compromise playing conditions and venue revenues.
