Pressureless Treated Lumber: Wood Made Safer, Locally
FREE
Description
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

Sliding Fire Doors in an Egress Path
FREE
Description
This course outlines the multiple ways in which sliding fire doors may be used to create open-concept designs while maintaining fire code compliance and life safety requirements. It will also cover Value Engineering uses of this product type. The information will be primarily shared through case studies of how architects have utilized the product in a multitude of projects since 1977 when the building codes first accepted the doors for use. Local fire code references, NYC code references, and the basic differences between Fire Walls, Barriers, and Partitions will be provided.

Salty Timbers : A guide to sodium borate treatment technologies in the FRTW, IRTW, and wood structure preservation fields
FREE
Description
An architect’s perspective on wood preservation treatment technologies is needed to balance the considerations of building durability while protecting the health and welfare of building occupants. This course uses case studies in single ingredient mineral salt treatments, whose known origin and chemistry can lower the impact of construction material supply chains. FRTW (Fire Resistant Treated Wood) is regulated by certifications in the US, with specific applications in mid-rise, multi-family, and mixed-use projects. Specifiers who want to access the environmental and structural benefits of a sustainable natural resource by using FRTW, have to navigate a complex web of factors including chemistry, effects on fasteners, and regulations that have evolved to ensure safety and code compliance in critical structural components. IRTW (Insect...
