Course Description
This program, using building science principles, will illustrate how panelization and hybrid systems using cold-formed steel (CFS) framed assemblies can benefit many mid-rise construction projects.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will review the types of buildings where the use of CFS framing is appropriate
- Attendees will learn the difference between stick framing and panelized construction, and then review the key steps in the panelized construction
- Participants will investigate the basic considerations when evaluating different materials and systems
- Participants will explore the circumstances under which a hybrid design involving CFS might be desirable and how to deal with conflicts
