The Regenerative Power of Cork Anorim MD has many advantages of thermal insulation, superior acoustic control, moisture resistance and durability. Cork as cheaper product to build buildings that are sustainable. These types of buildings help responsible harvesting and high-performance in built environment. Green building resources will also help our forests for sustainable buildings.

The Regenerative Power of Cork: Responsible Harvesting and High-Performance Uses in the Built Environment

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 the building products. We’ll review cork’s natural properties that make it ideal in the built environment, including thermal insulation, moisture resistance, durability, and superior acoustic control. This course will examine the use of cork in flooring underlayment, underscreed, cork cladding, and thermal insulation. 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 LU HSW + 1 GBCI (USGBC/CAGBC) + 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)
