SUMMARY:Advanced Framing: Quality Building with Less Lumber
DESCRIPTION:EVENT DETAILS\nMost 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. \nThis is a virtual event. Registered attendees will be sent a zoom link 24 hours prior to the event in the event confirmation email. \n  \nSPEAKER\n \nRon Kliewer – Owner of Kliewer & Associates \nRon Kliewer started out framing and remodeling homes and additions\, becoming a custom home builder/ General Contractor\, moving on to Special Inspector\, then BPI and IR Certified. He has worked around the world\, building everything from an outhouse to nuclear power plants\, while wearing many hats including Framer\, Finish Carpenter\, Cabinetmaker\, Electrician\, Plumber\, Special Inspector and Project Manager. He started building with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) decades ago\, and more recently used his expertise to manage the new construction and retrofits of over 2 dozen award winning energy efficient light commercial projects and the High-Performance Walls/ Attics “Smart Home” display at Southern California Edison’s (SCE)\, Energy Education Center in Irwindale.  \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\n1. Describe key components and terminology of residential wood framing systems\, including common members and spacing conventions.\n2. Apply advanced framing techniques to reduce unnecessary lumber use while maintaining structural integrity and improving wall assembly performance.\n3. Analyze how framing factors influence thermal performance and are reflected in Title 24 compliance documentation.\n4. Evaluate the cost\, material\, and labor savings potential of advanced framing methods compared to conventional practices\, including their suitability for projects with exterior continuous insulation \n  \nTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR!
