The look of “Wood” provides warmth in a building design that cannot be achieved by masonry, metals or other building materials. Natural wood is a traditional option, but newer composite and synthetic products replicate the look of natural wood but offer superior color retention and life-cycle performance while requiring little to no maintenance. This learning unit will provide an in- depth overview of current “wood” design technologies natural and synthetic.

This course focus on the effect biological and physical agents have on the wood substrate of the exterior building envelope. After reviewing these agents you will learn how proper installation and best building practices can limit the exposure these agents can pose to your project. Durable wood substrates will also be discussed with a comparison of popular man made durability agents used to further protect the exterior envelope.
