Learning Objectives At the end of this program, participants will be able to:

1. Examine the relationship between wood and

human health through a recent scientific study, and

review of concepts of biophilia.

2. Evaluate cost studies of recent educational

projects using wood structure with case study

examples.

3. Dispel forestry myths and discover the facts

regarding North American Forests.

4. Consider a variety of case study examples of

innovative projects for learning, healing, and

inspiration.

Social psychologist Erich Fromm/Edward Wilson 1980s

Emotional connection…

Evidence Based Design - Healthcare Based on study of room views on patient outcomes Healthcare facilities in Canada experienced

positive patient response due the humanism incorporated in the architecture of the facilities

Schools in Japan -built with wood because students

respond positively

Recent Study – Univ. of B.C. / FPI

Research objectives: • Does wood reduce

stress in the built environment?

David Fell, PhD Office Test Environments

Conclusions

1. “…the presence of visual wood surfaces in a room lowered sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation.

2. Wood is a new tool for practitioners of evidence based design

Wood = Health Benefits

“Stress, as measured by sympathetic nervous system activation,

was lower in the wood room in all periods of the study.”

Newport Elementary School

Area=124,632 sf


Initial Estimates Show Little Savings


Estimated Steel Cost - $143 / SF Estimated Wood Cost - $142 / SF

Actual Cost was $114.20 / SF

Roof System Closed cell polyurethane

insulation R-21.4 Reduced R-value due to

reduced air infiltration provided by closed cell insulation

If exposed closed polyurethane requires intumescent coating, use 5/8” type X gypsum board

No sprinkler system required - Volume between “I” joists less than 160 cubic feet; NFPA 13, 8.15 5/8” type X gypsum board provides more protection for wood roof construction


Feel Good Good About Durability What are the most

durable building materials?

Are concrete and steel buildings most durable?

Minneapolis Demolition Survey

Wood buildings are the oldest to be demolished….

Structural System = Long Useful Life?

No Relationship! Reasons for demolition

Only 8/227 Buildings identified a specific structural failure…

•Changing Land values •Lack of suitability •Lack of maintenance
