Course Description: AEC Daily: Modified and Fire-Retardant-Treated Wood in Architectural Design

Wood’s natural character offers aesthetic and environmental benefits, while moisture exposure and fire present performance challenges. This course explores how modification and fire-retardant treatment change wood’s behavior, with emphasis on durability, wildfire resilience, and occupant protection. It also examines how these materials fit into broader goals for environmental responsibility and occupant well-being.

Compare wood modification methods to select materials that limit moisture deterioration, extend service life, and reduce replacement waste.
Explain how fire-retardant treatment and appropriate applications limit flame propagation and protect building occupants.
Relate wildfire exposure, applicable codes, and fire-test classifications to exterior construction that protects occupants and strengthens community resilience.
Evaluate wood sourcing, embodied carbon, and material-health documentation to guide environmentally responsible material selection and protect occupant health.
