Designing with Sustainable Wood: Acetylated Wood
Acetylated wood brings technology to this natural material in a way that is sustainable and healthy, while increasing the wood performance. This CEU will address its history, how it’s made, how it performs in exterior applications, and how to incorporate it in commercial and residential spaces. From this course, participants will be able to identity what Acetylated wood is (and is not), the benefits of using acetylated wood, and specify this modified pine for increased performance in exterior applications.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand what acetylation is and how it works to change the molecular properties of wood for increased performance.
- Understand the carbon sequestration ability of wood and the environmental problems with alternatives to acetylated wood products.
- Understand healthy finish options, including Shou Sugi Ban, for acetylated wood that add to it’s sustainability attributes.
- Understand how to design for proper installation of acetylated wood siding, including rain screens.
