A new system of wood-frame house construction has been developed which combines increased use of low-grade wood, prefinished components, and rapid field assembly methods without much divergence from conventional construction. Laboratory evaluations of the components of the Nu-frame system indicated that; (a) 4-foot spacing of the W-trusses tested provides a safety factor of three over design load, (b) the wall framing system with 4-foot spacing of double 2- by 4-inch studs (Nu-frame) is a reasonable method of construction, (c) the use of a l/2-inch fiberboard filler between studs (Insul-2) provides racking resistance as well as adequate thermal and sound insulation, (d) the interior finish (Perm-board) has greater stiffness and strength over a 48-inch span than 3/8-inch gypsum board over a 16-inch span, and (e) the prefinished roof covering (Plasticplank) provides excellent resistance to moisture entry. The use of both mechanical fasteners and adhesives assures rapid on-the-job assembly of framing and covering materials and low site labor costs. This laboratory evaluation will be followed by construction of an experimental unit for further study.

The wood platform frame home is the dominant design in the United States when it comes to single family housing. Introduced during the mid-nineteenth century, the scheme is a cheap, fast, and proven design that takes advantage of the large and abundant American wood supply. However, while building technology in other sectors has advanced, we continue today to build single family homes in essentially the same manner that was done 150 years ago. This study centers around the analysis of the thermal properties of structural details in light wood frame homes, focusing on wall construction details for both retrofit and new construction. A two dimensional analysis software, THERM 5.2, is used to perform finite element heat transfer analysis on various wall lay up configurations. Based upon the analysis, two recommendations are made. The first is that when retrofitting, the standard methodology can be improved by additionally insulating exterior wall cavities formed by additional studs used in older partition details. The second is that the effectiveness of Advanced Framing Techniques should make it the primary method of new construction.
