Course Description: This course covers Thermally Modified Wood in its entirety. While we will touch on the manufacturing process and benefits, the major focus is the sustainability aspect along with embodied carbon, LEED & LBC, waste reduction and the importance of specifying responsibly sourced lumber.
Thermal modification is a tried and tested process for increasing the durability of wood while maintaining a warm aesthetic in building design. This course examines all aspects of this sustainable wood product and how it can be incorporated into a variety of projects.
Learning objectives:
- Explain how the thermal modification process increases the durability of wood to provide a material that can be specified for longevity in building projects
- Identify the ways that thermally modified wood can help contribute to the overall sustainability of a building project
- Identify appropriate applications for the use of thermally modified wood to maintain aesthetic standards and ensure long-term performance
- Explain the difference between wood preservation techniques in order to specify those that contribute to a healthier, more sustainable project while maintaining a specific design aesthetic
- Apply course content to improve the design and performance of their own projects.
