Why does a room feel right when you walk into it? What's the significance of scale and proportion? Have we lost our "design" roots? This AIA continuing education program touches on these issues and more, looking back to the Greek's, the evolution of moldings, and why they make such an impact on any building project. Understand why moldings play such an important role in the design of structures, making them ascetically pleasing while creating an emotional response.

Specifiers seek the ideal treated-wood product for structural lumber. Until recently, pressure-treated wood has been the popular choice for decades. 

Pressure-treated wood previously used chromated copper arsenate (CCA) until 2004 when the EPA outlawed the formulation due to health-risk concerns. Today’s pressure-treated wood uses alkaline copper quat (ACQ) or copper azole (CA). Even though these formulas are safer, pressure-treated wood is still not ideal. It comes with a warning to never burn and to wear protection when handling. It should never be used for indoor applications. 

This course introduces the next advancement in treated wood that’s closer to ideal. We’ll explain this pressure-less process, treated locally, that results in a non-toxic, safer lumber with no degradation in strength. We’ll review third-party testing proving resistance to mold, rot, decay, and termites. We’ll outline other benefits including the Class A fire-rating and contributions to green-building.
