Mass timber is designed to provide strength and stability, but its moisture content plays an important role in how the material performs. Wood that is too dry can shrink and crack, while excessive moisture can increase the risk of mold and decay.

When most construction teams think about heating season, they think about heaters. But successful winter projects aren't built around heating equipment. They're built around a plan.

As educators return to school after summer break, they may discover more than empty classrooms and forgotten supplies. A musty smell, warped books, stuck-together pages, and visible mold are signs that items were exposed to moisture. Schools should reconsider simply throwing away materials. Here’s what you can do.

In many advanced manufacturing environments, controlling moisture is not optional; it is fundamental to process stability, product quality, and equipment reliability. One of the most important variables used to manage moisture is dew point, particularly in applications that require extremely dry air conditions.

As cold weather approaches and projects begin to close in, temporary heat becomes essential for keeping schedules on track and protecting materials. At the same time, enclosed spaces increase the risk of carbon monoxide (CO) exposure when fuel-burning heaters are used indoors. Understanding how CO is generated and how to monitor conditions is critical for maintaining safe environments during winter operations.
