Software: WoodWorks Design Office 5. Free online tool: Carbon Calculator Permanent Wood Foundations 2016 Most common in Prairies and Northern/remote locations First ones built as early as 1950 and are still performing well today Consists of below grade stud walls constructed of preservative treated lumber and plywood sheathing Higher level of preservative treatment (CCA) Courtesy of Spray Lakes Sawmill Kevin Rocchi, MASc, E.I.T. 21
Permanent Wood Foundations 2016 Why Build a Permanent Wood Foundation? Lack of other materials for foundation construction Lack of roads for transportation (i.e. remote site) Cost Effective (fewer trades, up to 50% less expensive) Reduces the weight of the structure (poor soil conditions) Permanent Wood Foundations 2016 Why Build a Permanent Wood Foundation? Operational energy savings (higher heat resistance assembly) Easier to finish a basement Quick construction time in any weather (can be prefabricated) Lower environmental impact over building s life cycle (embodied + operational impacts) Kevin Rocchi, MASc, E.I.T. 22
