Course Description: AEC Daily: Architectural Bamboo: Beautiful & Sustainable
Bamboo is a versatile, strong material with a warm aesthetic that suits an array of interior design styles. This course looks at how bamboo is sustainably sourced to produce low-VOC products such as flooring, cladding, and three-ply architectural wall and ceiling panels. Project examples highlight a CNC routing method that produces panels with eye-catching patterns of varying depths and levels of intricacy. The course also examines how bamboo products may apply to several credits and features in the LEED® v4.1 Building Design and Construction and Interior Design and Construction rating systems and the WELL Building Standard™ version 2.
Recall the sustainability benefits of bamboo and how manufactured products can help meet LEED v4.1 requirements for low-carbon, responsibly sourced materials.
Describe the manufacturing processes for flooring, cladding, and distinctively carved bamboo panels and the importance of seeking low-VOC products with disclosed chemical inventories as required by LEED v4.1 and WELL v2.
Discuss the options for carved bamboo plywood wall and ceiling panels and how they can meet fire ratings and the acoustic comfort levels of WELL v2.
Review case studies and project examples to discover how wall and ceiling panels can help meet LEED v4.1 and WELL v2 requirements for bringing natural materials, patterns, shapes, and other biophilic design elements into the indoor environment.
