  • Course Description: AEC Daily: Favorable Environmental Impacts of Thermally Modified Wood

    Incorporating sustainable building materials into design practices is essential for creating environmentally responsible, healthy, and resilient built environments. Thermal modification is a tested and proven chemical-free process for increasing the dimensional stability and long-term performance of wood while preserving its natural beauty. Presented are the thermal modification process, the attributes, applications, and favorable environmental impacts of thermally modified wood, and how thermally modified wood can contribute to achieving certification in LEED® v4.1 Building Design and Construction and Interior Design and Construction, Sustainable SITES Initiative® v2, the WELL Building Standard™ version 2, and the Living Building Challenge (LBC).

    Summarize how the thermal modification process alters the structure of wood at the cellular level, enhancing its performance while allowing it to meet the low-emitting material requirements of LEED v4.1 and WELL v2.

    Discuss thermally modified wood’s suitable applications and performance attributes, including decay and fire resistance, superior aesthetics, dimensional stability, and workability.

    Explain thermally modified wood’s favorable environmental impacts related to durability, energy efficiency, carbon footprint, and responsible material sourcing as required by LEED v4.1, SITES v2, and LBC.

    Recall how thermally modified wood can contribute to meeting the transparency and material disclosure requirements of LEED v4.1, WELL v2, and LBC.
