	ESD-3: Timber as a sustainable building material - Presentation Timber is an easy to manufacture product. In its most complex form it remains a relatively non-capital intensive process, while in its simplest forms, only an axe and human energy is required.
	ESD-3a: Sustainable timber specification This presentation deals with specifying timber for ecologically sustainable design. It lists major considerations in selecting and using the correct timber for the application, while generating what is likely to be the minimum environmental impact. As part of a move towards a sustainable industry, increasing consideration will need to be given to the environmental impacts of using different materials as these impacts become more apparent through constant updating of LCA analyses. Design professionals will need to look for new design options and a broader range of assembled sections in order to foster the production and specification of timber from sustainable sources.

In its most complex form it remains a relatively non-capital intensive process, while in its simplest forms, only an axe and human energy is required.
	ESD-4: ESD, Forests and Forestry - Presentation Forests are a major and critical part of the natural world and a basic component of many of the earth's ecosystems.

	IA-1: Timber's potential in internal design - Presentation This presentation provides a brief visual summary of potential of timber used internally and the range of available applications.
	IA-1a: Materials Basics - Presentation This presentation deals with materials basics and includes wood and its origins, moisture in timber, grain, strength and stiffness, timber products, timber grades and grading, varnishes and coatings and joint types. Timber is a natural, renewable material that is both beautiful and durable. As such, it is specified for a broad range of applications in Australian design.

	IA-2: Visual Palette - Presentation Timber is used in appearance applications because it holds an innate attraction for designers and users alike. Timber comes from a broad range of species and can be cut in a variety of ways. As a result, it has a very broad visual palette.

	IA-3: Timber Flooring - Presentation There are several ways of creating an attractive wooden floor. The most commonly used method is traditional solid timber strip flooring.

	IA-4: Internal Lining and Paneling - Presentation Lining is the finishing material on the internal wall or ceiling surfaces of a room or space. While linings can be utilitarian or merely a substrate for paint, as is plasterboard, they can also be significant elements in an architectural design or an interior fit out.

	IA-6: Windows and Stairs - Presentation This presentation deals with windows and stairs and includes materials, moisture control, major window types, sash assembly options, door arrangement, and stairs. Windows, doors and stairs are special elements in any building design.
	IA-6: Windows and Stairs - Guide Windows, doors and stairs are special elements in any building design.
	IA-7: Architectural Structures - Presentation This presentation deals with architectural structures and includes materials, structure typology & architectural expression. Timber is used in exposed architectural structures because it provides: design versatility, ease of construction, honesty of expression, high strength-to-weight ration, economy, enhanced acoustic performance.
