A research project, Wood and Wood-Hybrid Midrise Buildings, was undertaken to develop information to be used as the basis for alternative/acceptable solutions for mid-rise construction using wood structural elements. A key parameter in the use of encapsulation materials to protect wood structural elements is the ignition temperature of wood. In this report, a brief overview of wood ignition is provided. In addition, the results of limited cone calorimeter testing to determine the ignition characteristics of OSB and torrefied wood are discussed. The ignition temperature of plywood used as a substrate for cone calorimeter tests with encapsulation materials is also provided.
