It makes more sense than ever to use steel as a primary structural building material. It is inherently recyclable and efficient to assemble. That makes it your best choice for sustainable building material. In no time you can be the local expert in green building with steel.

This interactive online course gives you Green Building with a particular focus on framing with steel studs using Cold Formed Steel (CFS) and the various methods of building exterior and interior frames. This is the fourth course in the Green Building With Steel series. Additional courses are:
  • Material Attributes, Manufacturing, Applications and LEED Ratings
  • Guidelines for Builders, Trades and Inspectors
  • Light Gauge Metal Components for Framing
  • Insulation and Waterproofing
  • Erecting an Engineered Steel House
  • Commercial Applications

It is helpful to you to take the first three courses in the Green Building With Steel series before beginning this one.
