Abstract
Cross-laminated timber (CLT), a type of mass timber in which wood is secured in alternating directions, has emerged as an sustainable alternative to concrete or steel with a significantly lower carbon footprint. However, CLT properties depend on its moisture content and most building energy tools do not account for moisture transfer in building envelopes. This study develops a building energy modeling in OpenStudio for a hotel in Fort Jackson, North Carolina, that utilizes CLT to compare against field data. When the data is collected from the hotel, the OpenStudio model will be calibrated to the measurements so that future models can more accurately predict the properties of the building envelope in CLT buildings.
