Seeing the wood and the trees: the role of timber in future Wales – Calvin Jones
The ARC Advance Timber Hub are pleased to advise we have a HDR Opportunity available at the University of Tasmania.
Hub Node: Building Performance for Occupants
Hub Project: The bio-hygrothermal performance of mid-rise non-residential timber framed façade systems
Program: PhD
Location: University of Tasmania
Research area: This project aims to explore hygrothermal interactions for advanced wood-product-based mid-rise façade systems. This project will generate new knowledge regarding wood-product based façade system design that adequately manages inward and outward flows of energy and moisture. Knowledge will be generated via computer-based bio-hygrothermal simulation and observations from prototype constructions. Expected outcomes will include new methods to use plantation grown wood products within the façade system of mid-rise buildings in Australia. This will enhance Australia’s architectural, engineering, and construction capabilities to design low embodied energy mid-rise buildings and will significantly benefit the greater use of low-carbon intensive plantation wood products.
Apply prior to 1 August 2025
