SUSTAINABLE AND RENEWABLE COASTAL SOFTWOOD TIMBERS – THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHOICE This course will discuss where these species grow, their identifiable characteristics, and where to use coastal softwood appearance lumber in green building projects. We will also explore how these coastal softwood species are a highly sustainable and renewable product that should be considered for use in sustainable design. SPECIFYING WESTERN RED CEDAR – SUSTAINABLE BUILDING PRODUCTS Presented here are modern, historical, and cultural uses of western red cedar, as well as its performance characteristics, grade specification, and finishes. Also discussed are sustainable forest management practices and certification agencies, and how sustainably sourced wood can contribute to LEED® credits. SPECIFYING AND UTILIZING ALASKA YELLOW CEDAR BUILDING PRODUCTS This course examines the performance characteristics of Alaskan Yellow Cedar, including fire resistance and durability, and various applications are also discussed. WESTERN RED CEDAR – MEASURING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT THROUGH LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS (LCA) AND FOREST CERTIFICATIONS This course discusses how architects can be reasonably assured that products, particularly western red cedar wood products, are maximally sustainable. Life cycle analysis (LCA) and forest certification are discussed in terms of their place on an architect’s sustainability agenda, and an LCA of western red cedar is presented to demonstrate the level of research involved, along with results that can be expected from the life cycle approach.
