Is advanced framing and insulation the smarter strategy of construction and a contributor to our energy efficient future? Explore the concepts of advanced framing for commercial buildings and how this practice may impact the way the building community designs for the future.  The use of advanced framing provides more opportunity for various forms of insulation to have an impact on the building energy efficiency in ways that have not been presented in traditional construction.
