• CLT provides a renewable, low-carbon alternative to traditional building materials, with significant potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the construction sector.
• The structural performance of CLT panels is comparable to conventional materials, with excellent strength-to-weight ratio and seismic resilience when properly designed.
• Fire resistance of CLT can be enhanced through encapsulation and charring behavior, meeting stringent building code requirements.
• Moisture management and connection detailing remain critical challenges that require innovative solutions to ensure long-term durability.
