In January 2012, David Moses lectured on building condition assessments as part of the continuing education courses offered through EPIC (Educational Program Innovations Center).
David Moses is a member of the joint U.S. & Canadian committee that has developed the new CLT standard PRG-320, published by ANSI/APA. This is an exciting step that will help create market access for CLT products in North America.
The standard establishes manufacturer rules and guidelines for the production of various strength grades of CLT panels in Canada and the United States, and can be referred to by designers and municipalities in the design & approval process.
