Learning Objectives
Upon completing this training, attendees will be able to identify and describe:

  • Can identify the key benefits, applications, and sustainability attributes of engineered wood products (EWP) in residential floor systems.
  • Can discuss key design principles—including span, deflection, vibration, fire resistance, and acoustics—that affect the performance of EWP floor systems.
  • Can describe best practices for installation, field modification, and moisture protection to improve floor system durability and avoid common jobsite issues.
  • Can identify APA tools, resources, and technical support that provides guidance onsproduct selection, design decisions, and jobsite implementation.
