[https://www.buildoffsite.com/content/uploads/2019/11/BoS-Glossary-2018_v2.pdf Offsite residential construction, Glossary of terms], published by Buildoffsite in 2018, defines open (cell) panel timber frame as: ‘Structural timber panels forming the inner load-bearing leaf of the cavity wall which are manufactured in factory conditions, brought to the site and fixed together to form a rigid loadbearing superstructure. These consist of timber studs and beams, stiffened on one side with wood-based panels, such as oriented strand board, or plasterboard. The lining of the second side of the building component, and the application of insulation and other features, usually happens onsite. Open cell timber frame is currently the conventional form of timber frame in the UK and is often referred to as Timber Frame.’
