Overview
This four-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 what the builder and crafts need to know to assemble a steel framed house. This course covers the general techniques of erecting a Red Iron steel frame house. Also covered are other aspects of building homes, including sustainability and green attributes, LEED certification, model selection, adherence to codes, purchasing a steel home kit, erection sequence, erection details, primary and secondary framing, window and door installation, roofing, siding, soffits, insulation, joists, and trusses.
