Comparison of Structural Details and Energy Demands for Residential Structures with Advanced and Traditional Wood Framing
Advanced framing (sometimes termed smart framing or optimal value engineering) resulted from efforts in the structural community to use less wood in the framing of residential construction. Through use of larger studs at greater spacings, reduced lumber in corners, single instead of double top plates, and other modifications, lumber is reduced. This also theoretically allows for more insulation in the building envelope. This paper describes efforts to build two residences side by side-one with traditional framing concepts, one with advanced framing, including innovative header designs and details. The paper will describe the structural details, presenting the lessons learned about installation with available contractors, lumber usage, and other important information. In addition, energy data is presented, allowing the benefits of the innovative structure to be seen through comparison of sustainability metrics.
