The Flooring Educational Guild Wood Class

| Each year thousands of dollars are spent on claims. Some are justified, and some are not justified. Many claims are not diagnosed correctly or there is confusion from a lack of understanding of the many variables that should be factored into the evaluations so the inspector can render a Differential Diagnosis of the Complaint. One of the major problems has been a lack of Formal Educational Venues by Wood Scientists applying Proven Peer Reviewed Wood Science as Practical Science. In Science, there is Theoretical Science (Research) and the knowledge gained from research applied to our industry, Practical Science. The Guild is bringing to you, the wood professional, Practical Science that you can use every day that will elevate you above the crowd. This is the First in a series of classes designed specifically for you as a Wood Flooring Professional. These classes are no longer just for the Inspector but are now designed for all Wood Flooring Professionals! The Va. Tech's Professors will be issuing Accreditation for class credits to the Guild so you can work toward your recognition as a Wood Flooring Expert Educational Certificate of Accreditation. Now you can "Move Beyond Certification to Become Educated." The science behind the Wood Industry Inspection Procedures will be explained, and verified so you, as a wood floor professional, will be able to understand what you are doing, finding the correct answer to your customers questions, and if needed, testify in court with ease and complete confidence. This is the one we have been waiting to happen. This class and the ones to follow are the Educational Classes you have been asking someone to provide, and now, it is happening. As an inspector, I know this is the one I have been wanting because I need it. Special thanks to the Guild's Board of Directors for making this one happen, and a big thanks to the Hands On Professors at Va.Tech for taking the time to arrange this class to Educate us. Part 1: "The Basics" Temperature, RH, EMC relationships Wood Anatomy with some basic ID Discussion of Testing and Data Interpretation Variability of Wood Products Part 2: "Drying Issues" How Wood Dries Commercial Processes for Drying Wood Checks and Splits formation Drying Stress and Relief Part 3: "Building Site Issues" Moisture in Buildings Moisture Movement through Flooring Moisture Meter Use and Misuse Shrinkage and Swelling of Flooring Part 4: "Inspection Issues" Discussion of Inspection Methods Required Observations / Measurements Optional Observations / Measurements Types and Variety of Defects Observed Examples Problems and Discussion of Drying Issues and Buildings' Issues The professors will explain the variables that affect our analysis of the Data Collection on site, and how to explain it and present it to avoid confusion and the often denial of Practical Wood Science applied to our industry. | |||
