不列颠哥伦比亚省将木结构建筑的高度限制从 12 层提高到 18 层，以促进可持续住房和工业发展。 British Columbia raises mass timber construction limit in buildings from 12 to 18 storeys, promoting sustainable housing and industry growth.

不列颠哥伦比亚省正在修改其建筑规范，允许建造高达 18 层的大规模木结构建筑，将之前的 12 层限制扩大。 British Columbia is revising its building code to allow mass timber construction in structures up to 18 storeys, expanding the previous limit of 12 storeys. 大规模木材，也称为工程木材，是由较小的木块通过粘合剂、销钉、钉子或螺丝连接而成，以形成更大的结构部件，可以用作钢或混凝土的替代品。 Mass timber, also known as engineered wood, is made from smaller pieces of wood connected using adhesives, dowels, nails or screws to create larger structural components and can be used as a substitute for steel or concrete. 这一变化是简化省级住房许可和授权的努力的一部分，预计将减少碳污染，支持林业，创造就业机会并建造更多房屋。 The change is part of efforts to streamline provincial housing permits and authorizations and is expected to reduce carbon pollution, support the forestry industry, create jobs, and build more homes.
