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.

GOOD COURSE

Matthew

Excellent.

Alejandro

Great subject but so much information that needs to be understood.

Richard

A lot of information packed into one hour

Sally

too much information to follow

John

Ok

Sophia

Very educational

Ryan

good information more technical than I expected

Terry

great

Yingying

Excellent coverage of the material. Learned a lot about the various coatings and uses.

John

Good presentation! There are many abbreviated terms - I had to stay focused.

Ivanka

Very informative

Ramona Venera

A much more complex issue that originally thought. Well done presentation of the constantly changing issues with preservative treated wood, glue lam wood, and etc.

It was a very tough course but very very directive provided. thank you

Farhad

Very Informative

Alan

Great 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 D

Thank 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.

William

Very interesting

William

Very interesting presentation that gives a clear description of an extremely complicated subject.

Tracy

Helpful.

Kelly

This is a very good course to study

Adelia

Good overview.

David

Very insightful

Bojana

Good talk

Sheldon

Great content throughout the course.

JOHN

good

Norman

I enjoyed learning about FRTW and IRTW preservation.

Kevin

Thank you.

Carol

Definitely an emerging topic that is deserved of much more attention and exploration.

Lionel

Informative

Andrew

Interesting new things in development

Spencer

too much emphasis on the 'LEEDS' aspects; should be a separated topic.

DORIAN

Difficult course. The video kept stalling too.

Karle

Very technical, but informative.

Thomas

There was a lot of jargon that was confusing to me, but in general the info of this class was comprehensible and useable for me.

Wesley

good job

Thomas

Thorough and knowledgeable presentation of materials and processes unfamiliar to this architect. Curious to more about the methods available.

Salty 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.

Crédits: 1 AIA HSW + 1 OAA, OAQ, SAA, MAA, AAPEI, NWTAA

Durée: 1h
