Learning ObjectivesLearning ObjectivesLearning ObjectivesLearning Objectives
At the end of this program, participants will be able to:
1. Participants will learn how to specify pressure treated wood products using the American
Wood Protection Association's Use Category System.
2. Participants will learn where pressure treated wood is required under the International
Building Code and under the Residential Building Code.
3. Participants will learn Western Wood Preservers Institute Best Management Practices
regarding the use of treated wood in aquatic and other sensitive environments
4. Participants will develop an understanding of Interior and Exterior Fire Retardant
Applications and be provided with a AWPA Use Specification Guide, WWPI's Aquatic
Guide, Best Management Practices and a list of resources where they can find more
information on pressure treated and fire retardant treated wood products.

General ConclusionsGeneral Conclusions
ACQ-treated lumber results in lower energyACQ-treated lumber results in lower energyand environmental impacts in comparison to WPC for 6 out of 7 indicators. Approximatelypp yequal for eutrophication.Borate-treated lumber results in lower energyo a a d u b u o gyand environmental impacts in comparison to galvanized steel for all 7 indicatorsLife cycle impacts could be reduced even more by reusing of treated wood products following primary service.
