  • Wood Acetylation: Offering a Non-Toxic Path to Preserve Wood

    This course is registered for 1 AIA CEH and will provide learners with knowledge of wood acetylation and an understanding of the numerous benefits of acetylated wood products. It looks at long-lasting performance benefits and describes how acetylated wood is a sustainable product that has been modified through a process that leaves no toxic substances in the wood. We will look at how the product has improved dimensional stability while maintaining the versatility, and workability of wood. Additionally, participants who are builders, trades people, designers, and architects may see a potential maintenance-cost savings for their clients and an environmental impact reduction because of the low maintenance requirements and improved durability of acetylated wood products. Take the course.

  • Residential Framing to Comply with 2009 IRC Energy and Structural Requirements

    This course covers topics such as manufacturing specifications that OSB and plywood must comply with. We will look into manufacturing standards controlled by the Department of Commerce and other building codes. There are newly implemented grade stamps that will be addressed so that the learner understands what each number or measurement correlates to in comparison to the current grade stamp. Without the proper installation of different materials such as sheathing and flashing, an entire project can be negatively affected by the structures performance due to these occurrences. Take the course.
