Objectifs d'apprentissage
1. How to prequalify a wood treatment by reviewing its performance in the rigorous US fire testing pipeline that evaluates and certifies all FRTW options.
2. How to identify impregnation treatments vs surface treatments and coatings, by studying the product’s acceptance criteria, testing, accreditation, and evaluation.
3. Learn about how single-ingredient mineral salts like sodium borate can span both FRTW and insect resistance. Studying the IRTW (insect resistant treated wood) standards can help the specifier to establish simple best practices that work across use categories, climate zones, and applications.
4. Learn to identify environmental rating systems that can reward wood treatments with low human and eco-toxicity profiles, and use a mineral salt treatment’s first-inclass Environmental Product Declaration(EPD) to quantify its low embodied carbon footprint in comparison to other structural options like light-gauge steel.

MatthewExcellent.
AlejandroGreat subject but so much information that needs to be understood.
RichardA lot of information packed into one hour
Sallytoo much information to follow
JohnOk
SophiaVery educational
Ryangood information more technical than I expected
Terrygreat
YingyingExcellent coverage of the material. Learned a lot about the various coatings and uses.
JohnGood presentation! There are many abbreviated terms - I had to stay focused.
IvankaVery informative
Ramona VeneraA much more complex issue that originally thought. Well done presentation of the constantly changing issues with preservative treated wood, glue lam wood, and etc.

JesseIt was a very tough course but very very directive provided. thank you
FarhadVery Informative
AlanGreat overview of FRTW and IRTW wood treatments, their evaluations and different uses. Learned about Sodium Borate treatment of wood for insect protection, not a treatment I had heard of in the passed.
John DThank you for providing an information dense one hour seminar on Sodium Borate Treatment Technologies, new information that I can use now and in the future.

WilliamVery interesting presentation that gives a clear description of an extremely complicated subject.
TracyHelpful.
KellyThis is a very good course to study
AdeliaGood overview.

NormanI enjoyed learning about FRTW and IRTW preservation.
KevinThank you.
CarolDefinitely an emerging topic that is deserved of much more attention and exploration.
LionelInformative
AndrewInteresting new things in development
Spencertoo much emphasis on the 'LEEDS' aspects; should be a separated topic.
DORIANDifficult course. The video kept stalling too.
KarleVery technical, but informative.
ThomasThere was a lot of jargon that was confusing to me, but in general the info of this class was comprehensible and useable for me.
Wesleygood job
ThomasThorough and knowledgeable presentation of materials and processes unfamiliar to this architect. Curious to more about the methods available.

LorettaSalty Timbers : A guide to sodium borate treatment technologies in the FRTW, IRTW, and wood structure preservation fields
GRATUIT
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 Resistant Treated Wood) is a standards-based regulatory framework with a wide variety of treatment intensities, use classifications, and chemical ingredients. The southern US and Caribbean basin offer study of multiple environmental conditions and code frameworks. Mineral salt treatments are unique in their ability to span both of these markets with a single ingredient. Although sodium borate’s low human and eco-toxicity has been know for centuries, the modern potential of mineral salt treatments for wood are shown most clearly by recent technologies that have been able to clear the hurdles of US certification and patent processes.
