Overview

This two hour continuing education course for architects, engineers, landscape architects and interior designers examines Green Building in relation to the use of steel as a primary structural building material, its inherently recyclable nature, and its efficiency of assembly.  Particular focus is on Cold-Formed Steel Framing, and what the builder, crafts and inspectors need to know regarding the key elements that make up steel framing, plus techniques to fit plumbing and electrical components.

Learning Objectives:

The Participant will be able to:

1. Describe how Steel differs from Woods as a building material;
2. Explain the Green attributes of Steel in construction;
3. Discuss the difference between steel framing and conventional framing;
4. List the basic steel framing components;
5. Recognize how steel framing affects the work of framers, plumbers and electricians;
6. Recognize steel framing tools and their proper application;
7. Use the proper fasteners for the job;
8. Understand proper steel construction methods and details of assembly;
9. Recognize the Plumbing and Electrical considerations in steel framing;
10. Understand the appropriate codes as they pertain to steel framing.

This is the second course in the Green Building With Steel series that focuses on the application and technical aspects of Steel Design and Construction.  The series consists of:

1. Part 1 - Material Attributes, Manufacturing, Applications and LEED Ratings (1 hour);
2. Part 2 - Guidelines for Builders, Trades and Inspectors (2 hours);
3. Part 3 - Light Gauge Metal Components for Framing (2 hours);
4. Part 4 - Framing With Steel Studs (3 hours);
5. Part 5 - Erecting an Engineered Steel House (4 hours).

Qualifies for two credit hours of Green / Sustainable Design (2 PDH; 0.2 CEU).
