Field Evaluations and Recommendations for Steel Framed Homes. Jordan Commons Project
The report is a field evaluation on the use of steel frame construction at a 187-unit Habitat for Hunanity development--Jordan Commons--in Florida. Builders and other construction professionals worked at Jordan Commons in week-long trainings where they helped erect steel frame houses. The recommendations of the report are that: research is needed to develop practical solutions to thermal issues; manufacturers should continue to develop tools and fasteners that will increase the speed of construction; research is needed to explore how panelization can help speed up graming by providing a factor setting to save time assembling walls and trusses; and that in the short term, education of builders will be important to lowering costs. Appendices include the results of builder evaluations, a summary of the thermal workshop, a fact sheet for insulating steel framed walls, a summary of the tool and fastener workshop, a fact sheet for insulating steel framed walls, a summary of the tool and fastener workshop, and a fact sheet on steel framing tools and fasteners.
