Preservative-Treated Wood: Specification and Use

Offered by AECDaily.com by the Western Wood Preservers Institute (WWPI), this course describes the manufacturing process for preservative treated wood, types of preservative treatments available, and the required levels of retention as dictated by the end-use application.

Specifying and Using Fire-Retardant-Treated Wood

Offered by AECDaily.com by the Western Wood Preservers Institute (WWPI), this course provides information about fire retardant treated wood (FRTW) and how it may be used as an alternative to noncombustible materials; allowed by the building codes for some applications. 

Interior Fire Retardant Pressure Treated Wood

Offered by Koppers Inc., this course details interior fire retardant treated wood including technical details, uses, and specification resources. The course is eligible for 1 AIA LU/HSW.

Redwood Lumber: Attributes, Applications, & Environmental Benefits

Offered by AECDaily.com, this course provides insights into how modern redwood forestry management practices contribute to the sustainability and responsible use of redwood products. The course further describes the results of a life cycle assessment (LCA) comparing redwood to recycled plastic/composite decking that support redwood as an environmentally friendly choice for wood projects. Details are presented on how to differentiate and specify grades of redwood, as well as how to finish it.

Designing Sustainably with Redwood Timbers

Offered by AECDaily.com, this course offers evidence that redwood timbers are a safe, strong, and sustainable option for exterior and interior building projects where natural wood is desired. This course provides an overview of the properties of redwood timbers including insulation properties, grades, dimensions, fasteners, finishing options, and strength. It concludes with numerous case studies exploring the use of redwood timbers for post and beam construction, decorative elements, deck posts, and outdoor living structures.

Redwood Lumber & Timbers: Advanced Specification Details 

Offered by AECDaily.com, this course covers advanced specification details of redwood lumber and timbers including the results of an updated life cycle assessment (LCA) study and environmental product declaration (EPD) and the relevance of these findings to sustainable building practices where a durable, natural wood species, in this case redwood, is utilized. The course further details why redwood is a "carbon smart" material and how it may contribute to biophilic design.
