Content Description

Favorable Environmental Impacts of Thermally Modified Wood, 2024
CEU: 0.1 | CEU Code: AW-EN-196502-0425

Incorporating sustainable building materials into design practices is essential for creating environmentally responsible, healthy, and resilient built environments. Thermal modification is a tested and proven chemical-free process for increasing the dimensional stability and long-term performance of wood while preserving its natural beauty. Presented are the thermal modification process, the attributes, applications, and favorable environmental impacts of thermally modified wood, and how thermally modified wood can contribute to achieving certification in LEED v4.1 Building Design and Construction and Interior Design and Construction, Sustainable SITES Initiative v2, the WELL Building Standard" version 2, and the Living Building Challenge (LBC).

Learning Objectives

  • Summarize how the thermal modification process alters the structure of wood at the cellular level, enhancing its performance while allowing it to meet the low-emitting material requirements of LEED v4.1 and WELL v2.
  • Discuss thermally modified wood's suitable applications and performance attributes, including decay and fire resistance, superior aesthetics, dimensional stability, and workability.
  • Explain thermally modified wood's favorable environmental impacts related to durability, energy efficiency, carbon footprint, and responsible material sourcing as required by LEED v4.1, SITES v2, and LBC.
  • Recall how thermally modified wood can contribute to meeting the transparency and material disclosure requirements of LEED v4.1, WELL v2, and LBC.

Faculty BIO

I have a BFA in Interior Design and have worked in the A&D industry for over 20 years. Starting off as a designer at an architectural firm, I wanted to get into the field and put my ideas to more practical use by becoming an architectural sales rep. I have represented several high-end building products over the years, always striving to offer innovative products and reliable building solutions to architects, developers, designers, and installers across the U.S. In addition to my training in architecture and design, my communication skills and strong sales background allow to me to identify the specific needs of customers and suggest the most appropriate and cost-effective product to achieve the desired result. Working with Arbor Wood has been especially fulfilling and gives me the opportunity to deliver a superior-quality product that provides sustainable and long-term solutions and, little by little, is actually changing the way the world thinks about wood. I live in Denver with my family, and when I am not talking about Arbor Wood and wood products, I enjoy the mountains and being outdoors. I would love to hear what you think about Arbor Wood and answer any questions you might have.
