WoodWorks 2012 ( 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. 1

4 Recent Study Univ. of B.C. / FPI David Fell, PhD Office Test Environments Research objectives: Does wood reduce stress in the built environment? 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. Select Health Benefits of Nature Healthcare - lower pain perception - faster recovery - fewer reported illnesses - fewer sick days Select Health Benefits of Nature Schools - greater attention - greater creativity - lower aggression -better interpersonal relations -Decreased absenteeism 2012 David Fell/ FPInnovations Evidence Based Design 2012 David Fell/ FPInnovations Evidence Based Design & Daylighting 4
