Project delays and unforeseen mid-project cost hikes have been the hypothetical thorn in the industry\u2019s side, but we should try to see the great opportunity this problem has presented us with.<\/p>\n<p>For decades now, the concept of Advanced Framing has been but a rarely talked about approach to building, and one of its main benefits eases the industry\u2019s pains from the wood shortage. Advanced Framing techniques use less wood by carefully designing the structure to efficiently carry vertical loads down to the foundation. A full course on this topic would be needed to properly cover the necessary technical details, but below is a comparison of Standard Framing to Advanced Framing.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.naimacanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Screen-Shot-2021-09-21-at-1.27.48-PM-1024&#215;409.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Screen Shot 2021-09-21 at 1.27.48 PM&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; text_font=&#8221;PT Serif||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#363636&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;20&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;10px||40px||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><em>Figure 1: Traditional Framing (left) has far more structural members which are each potential thermal bridges.

If by increasing stud spacing to 24\u201d o.c. means that 2&#215;6 studs are now needed compared to the 2x4s of Traditionally Framed system, then the deeper cavities can hold 57% more cavity insulation. With framing members fewer and further between, this means that not only does cavity insulation make up 85% of the wall area instead of 75%, but it is also thicker and more effective at reducing heat transfer.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; text_font=&#8221;PT Serif||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#363636&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;20&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;10px||40px||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Example of Energy Saved<\/h3>\n<p>For the following example we are comparing a Traditional Framed Wall to an Advanced Frame Wall to uncover the value of carefully designing the structural members of the building envelope.

These factors together make Advanced Framing well worth due consideration for any new building envelope project, and when faced with supply shortages and price hikes of wood products, the value of thoughtful framing design makes even more sense!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; text_font=&#8221;PT Serif||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#363636&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;20&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;10px||40px||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h5>Works Cited<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodbusiness.ca\/2021-lumber-market-outlook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2021 Lumber Market Outlook<\/a>.
