Advanced Framing: Quality Building with Less Lumber
Most houses are built with a surplus of wood framing that isn't structurally necessary. Reducing that volume of wood means less cost and more insulation, especially in wall assemblies. The course will go over the basics of wood framing, then take you beyond typical framing practices and why alternatives are important. We'll cover framing technical terms like "O.C.," Cripple, Trimmer, etc. and delve into alternative systems such as Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS). We'll discuss Framing Factors and how they affect your energy compliance report. This course will also cover the origin of Advanced Framing and why it's a great choice when framing buildings with wood, even with exterior clad insulation.
