ANSI/AWI 0641 Architectural Wood Casework

This presentation is approved for credit and provides 1 CDT credit as well as 1LU AIA HSW

Course description:

     To educate architects, specifiers & designers on the new ANSI/AWI 0641 Architectural Wood Casework. There are now laboratory-tested manufacturing methods and materials to prove the structural performance of the casework being specified. This new standard also allows for proprietary manufacturing methods to be performance tested and specified while giving scientific validation & accountability to the woodworking industry as a whole.

Learning Objectives: 

• Identify differences between the previous AWS Ed 2 Casework Standard and the new ANSI/AWI Architectural Wood Casework 0641 Standard.
• Educate on moving from a more aesthetically based standard (AWS Ed 2) to a structural performance standard (0641) that includes the aesthetical qualities as well.
• Become familiar with the impact of the ANSI & Performance Based Testing processes as they relate specifically to the 0641 Architectural Wood Casework Standard.
• Learn how the specifier benefits by using the new ANSI/AWI 0641 Architectural Wood Casework Standard, resulting in time & product cost savings, while increasing the validity & accountability of the woodworking industry.
