Learning Objectives
1. Mastering Thermal Modification – Understand the process of thermal modification and how it alters the physical properties of wood, including changes in dimensional stability, decay resistance, and moisture resistance.
2. Navigating Wood Selection Factors – Gain insight into the factors influencing the selection of thermally modified wood products, including species availability, manufacturing techniques, and performance characteristics.
3. Exploring Environmental Benefits – Understand the environmental and biophilic benefits of thermally modified woods compared to conventional wood treatments, and other modified wood treatments including less reliance on chemical preservatives.
4. Unveiling Architectural Applications – Identify various applications of thermally modified wood in architectural design and construction, ranging from both exterior and interior applications.
5. Perfecting Best Practices & Maintenance – Gain an understanding of best practices for specifying, installing, and maintaining thermally modified wood products, including considerations for proper storage, handling, finishing, and ongoing care to ensure performance and long life in building applications.

Its a good course
RichardGood course. I like to use wood products in many of my projects thank you
JohnNice
AhmedGreat!
Ramona VeneraFORMAT : It was not obvious, if possible at all, how to back up or repeat a portion of the video. Also, I prefer to read presentations. I'd also like to review my quiz results for understanding the portions that I didn't understand; Not sure how to do that CONTENT : Good information to know, some portions included a bit of unnecessary detail for understanding uses, methods and benefits of Thermally Modified Wood
Markvery compact but nicely presented information!
WujungGreat course!
AndrewVery informative and it was presented in a clear manner.
DanielVery interesting and important topic.
AnthonyVery informative. I rated BEST but I'm not sure 1 or 5 is the best.
GeorgeGood Quiz
