Jackson County Aquatics

Cullowhee, NC

Aquatics centers, recreational centers, and the like, are choosing mass timber construction.  Two considerations that are increasingly impacting that decision are energy efficiency and regulatory support.

Energy Efficiency: Timber has excellent insulation properties, helping to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.  This can lead to energy cost savings over the lifetime of the building.

Regulatory Support: Many regions are updating building codes to accommodate and encourage the use of mass timber, making it easier for contractors to incorporate these materials into their projects.

These advantages and numerous others can set a building apart in a competitive market.
