The Western Red Cedar Lumber Association (WRCLA) is a Non-Profit trade association that was established in 1954. We offer training to discerning users of WRC including the architect community. Western Red Cedar Distinctive Sustainable Designs is a one-hour, face-to-face training session developed for the architect community and provided by WRCLA qualified trainers. Through this one hour session, architects will increase their knowledge of WRC; its' properties and performance characteristics.

Most architects have heard about biophilic design and agree with the concept of bringing the outdoors inside. However, very few designers take purposeful steps to incorporate it into their plans. Designers may assume that biophilic design is expensive or high maintenance, reserved for only those high-end projects. One may assume that bringing nature inside is complicated and requires customization. An architect may assume that some projects don’t warrant biophilia, like a warehouse. In this one-hour course, we’ll address those assumptions that hold architects back. We’ll introduce a simulated-wood product that mimics nature and delivers that positive human response. You’ll see numerous design ideas and applications that exemplify economical and low maintenance solutions for any project type. At the end of the course, we think you’ll agree that biophilic design is obtainable for any project and every occupant.

This course provides an understanding of vinyl and aluminum railing systems including components and assembly. We’ll review ADA-compliance requirements for the graspable handrail and code requirements specific for rail systems, dictated by the ICC. We’ll discuss the common benefits of vinyl and aluminum railings including safety, durability, low maintenance, high strength, and flexible design. The environment-conscious elements of these railing systems including materials selection, manufacturing processes, and LEED contribution will be described. Lastly, this course provides ideas and applications appropriate for vinyl and aluminum railing systems.
