WOOD FRAME CONSTRUCTION FOR HIGH WIND REGIONS WORKSHOP
~ Thursday, January 16, 2014 ~
Workshop Overview
The program will focus on reducing framing costs while complying with high wind structural design and residential energy codes. The audience will gain an understanding of advanced framing techniques including using wall sheathing for combined shear and uplift, 24 inch spacing of framing members and exterior wall headers that allow for insulation. We will address framing methods that reduce air infiltration along with use of Raised Heel/Energy trusses for added and improved insulation. The program will include selection and specifying sheathing for roof, floor and wall construction and proper specification for nails and staples including overdriven nails in roof and wall sheathing.
Handouts
We will hand out copies of several design documents that the attendees will keep as a reference.
