Specifying Western Red Cedar: Sustainable Building Products, 2024
CEU: 0.1 | CEU Code: WF-EN-150004-1223

Western Forest Products Western red cedar's (WRC) aesthetic, economic, and environmental benefits are just some of the reasons why builders and designers are increasingly gravitating to this species of wood. 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. 60 minutes.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the historical and cultural use and significance of western red cedar and how it brings natural warmth to traditional and modern architecture.
  • List and elaborate on western red cedar's proven performance characteristics, including its versatility, sustainability, durability, resistance to rot, and effectiveness as an insulator and acoustic barrier.
  • Identify third-party forest certification agencies (ISO, CSA, SFI, ATFS, and FSC), and explain sustainable forest management practices and how wood products from certified sources can contribute to LEED credits.
  • Specify the appropriate siding or decking grade and finish to meet project and client needs.

Faculty BIO

Erik Ostensen started his career in the building supply industry working with North America's largest manufacturer and distributor of interior moldings, Metrie. While there, Erik began working with the A&D community, educating them on his company and products to help with the decision-making process and specification of the right products, at the right price, for the right purpose. Erik transitioned into a sales director role for a couple of years at Beacon Roofing before settling in at Western Forest Products in their newly appointed marketing leadership role. Erik now manages the marketing and product management team at WFP, working toward the vision of marketing products closer to the end users through promotion and education.
