Study on the Thermal Environment of Wooden Public Buildings Using Cross Laminated Timber (Clt) in Various Climatic Regions

Abstract

Use of Cross Laminated Timber in comparison to RC in public facilities in seven climatic regions is examined.Room temperature from two CLT buildings were taken, and findings showed changes in room and globe temperatures were gentle, which assured congruency with computer simulations. Though the cooling load was similar, the heating load was significantly less for CLT buildings.By changing CLT thickness, The difference in cooling load is small. However, the heating load decreases as the thickness increases. The thickness of CLT 60 mm or more is more effective than general RC construction.
