KimCork: Nature’s Regenerative Building Material
FREE
The word sustainable is often used to describe building products, but few are more sustainable than cork. This course will dive deep into the Cork Oak tree, its regenerative bark, mindful harvesting, and its use in building products. We’ll review cork’s natural properties that make it ideal in the built environment, including moisture resistance, durability, and superior acoustic control. This course will examine the use of cork in flooring underlayment as an example of its ability to reduce impact sound in ceiling/flooring assemblies. Lastly, we’ll address cork’s contribution to a circular economy and review its lifecycle stages from its responsible forestry at raw materials to its end-of-life where cork products can be recycled into new products.
Credits: 1 AIA HSW + 1 AIBD Primary + 1 Sustainable Design + 1 AIBC Core LU + 1 AAA Structured LU + 1 OAA, OAQ, SAA, MAA, AAPEI, NWTAA + 1 Climate Action (OAA)
Length: 1 hour
