In this special guest episode I speak with Brooke Whitsell, Shiling Pei and Jonathan Heppner about the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure, NHERI, project. NHERI is a US nation-wide, shared-use network of facilities tailored for the natural hazards engineering research community. Investigators employ our sites to test innovative ideas for mitigating damage from earthquakes, windstorms, tsunamis and related water hazards. NHERI Tallwood project is an NSF-funded research effort to develop and validate a resilient-based seismic design methodology for tall wood buildings. The project started in September 2016 and will last till 2020. The project team will validate the design methodology through shake table testing of a 10-story full-scaled wood building specimen at NHERI@UCSD. It will be the world's largest wood building tested at full-scale.

An NSF-funded planning project was completed in 2016 and provided the conceptual and technical preparation of this project. More information about the planning project and its (downloadable) deliverables can be found here: NEES Tall Wood Planning Project.

In this special guest episode, I speak with New York City Developer Jeff Spiritos, of Spiritos Properties. Spiritos Properties  is committed to building tall wood buildings, mass timber buildings and promoting the adoption of mass timber buildings in the design, construction and real estate industry. Our goal is to share what we have learned since our team was selected as one of the two winners of the US Tall Wood Building Competition in 2015. The project, 475 West 18th Street, in New York City, gave us the opportunity to meet with the leading industry participants from Europe and North America, to learn mass timber building systems and technology, research and engineering. We keep current on innovation through these relationships and deep involvement throughout much of the World.

Jeff and I speak about the global push into the adoption of mass timber, how passivhaus in concert with mass timber can support lower operational carbon, and the compelling argument that a developer makes about the costs associated with adopting a timber or timber-hybrid approach to construction. We have a few laughs, and indeed talk about the amazing work the https://www.ctbuh.org/ is doing to support mass timber development. Enjoy this amazing episode, I am very humbled to have Jeff on the podcast.
