About

The CLICKdesign project (2019-2022) targeted performance based specification protocols to predict long-term performance of wood products subjected to biotic and abiotic deteriorating agents. The overarching objective was to help specifiers and public to embed service life performance specification for wood.

One of the project outcomes is a set of single page web-applications, developed to aid stakeholders explore and utilize the otherwise inaccessible and abstract datasets and protocols. All source code and data is open source and can be downloaded from their respective github repositories.

Another exciting project outcome is the EDU-PAK, which includes a set of educational videos to facilitate understanding of wood deterioration.

The documentation is meant to add transparancy to the web-applications by describing the background of the data sets in a condensed format — with references to scientific publications where applicable.
