1 How can education support wood construction Matti Kairi Professor emeritus, D.Sc. (Tech.) Wood Product Technology Department of Forest Products Technology

2 Vision One of Finland s most important values is wood! The annual wood raw material use in Finland is around 60 Mio. m3, where at the same time the annual growth is 100 Mio. m3. It is therefore the vision to increase the use and the value of wood by prioritising it s material use and influencing the whole value chain from forest to end-use. Stefan Winter

3 Vision A close cooperation between wood science, wood product technology, civil engineering and architecture shall be further developed to support wood and forest industry in developing products and processes as well as the building sector to increase the sustainable use of wood in structures and create energy-efficient, healthy and intrinsic valued buildings. Stefan Winter

4 Wood Construction Education in Finland There are three demanding jumps in wood construction business in next years: Starting high rise apartment building activity Increasing energy efficiency of new houses Developing workable solutions for renovation of old houses This all competitively! 4

5 The share of construction with wood is growing fastest in highrise building It will be about 10 times more than today! 5

6 FISE Qualification of Professionals in Building, HVAC and Real Estate Sector in Finland, (There are 18 stakeholder organizations in FISE Ltd.) The highest AA qualification is needed for planning of high rise apartment buildings in Finland we have all together 35 Structural Engineers with AA qualification for wood constrution (updated on ) 6

14 The experts in the future two steps process Professorship for the wood construction «Full Professor» in Department of Civil and Structural Engineering at Aalto University (tenure track) The education of the new students Strategic research and development Further education program of wood construction for professionals Aalto Pro and RATEKO About 150 Structural Engineers and Architects with AA qualification for wood construction in next 5 years Aalto Pro (Aalto University Professional Development) As many experts are needed to work on the building site RATEKO (Construction industry Training) 14

15 The experts in the future two steps process Professorship for the wood construction «Full Professor» in Department of Civil and Structural Engineering at Aalto University (tenure track) City of Kouvola made decision to invest on development of construction with wood. an important part of that decision was to support the Professorship for the wood construction at Aalto University. Next 5 years city of Kouvola, Finnish Forest Foundation and The Central Union of Agricultural Producers and Forest Owners (MTK) Foundation are donating 1.4 Million to support The Professorship for the wood construction. 15

16 The experts in the future two steps process Further education program of wood construction for professionals Aalto Pro and RATEKO 16

17 Continuing Education Programme in Wood Construction started successfully at Aalto University on participants Civil engineers, architects, construction companies, wood product manufacturers, city officers, teachers from Universities of Applied Sciences Program quality high, three professors conducting: Department of architecture, Department of Civil and Structural Engineering and Department of Forest Products Technology All trainers are top specialists in their own field 5 contact modules incl. field trips, personal assignments, groupwork During the course 5 multi-story wood buildings are built by the participants (virtually in laboratory) 30 ETCS Petri Lyytikäinen & Ulla Rintala

18 Programme content (2013) Module 1: Architectural, technical and aesthetical properties of wood; use of wood in multistory buildings Module 2: Thermal, moisture and acoustic issues of using wood; air tightness, indoor air quality and ventilation Module 3: Logistics and materials management; maintenance, renovation and renewal of buildings Module 4: Building services; environmental benefits of using wood Module 5: Future visions; the future of Finnish wood construction Learning Learning Networks Contact days (modules) Personal assignments Group work Preliminary test and survey I Laboratory work Module 1 II Laboratory work Module 2 III Module 3 IV Laboratory work Module 4 IV Module 5 Skills and knowledge Professional development Certificate Field trips Petri Lyytikäinen & Ulla Rintala
