About This Program

Having problems understanding equivalent “EQ” metal framing and how it compares with traditional metal framing? Are you receiving the correct, properly tested material on your projects? Since their introduction much has been done to develop standardized requirements for “EQ” metal framing products. This presentation will address these questions as well as outline the new AISI standards that govern the specification and performance requirements of both traditional thickness and EQ products and how this standard has replaced ASTM C645 in newer building codes.

Session Takeaways

How do EQ Studs contribute to LEED credits
Best specification practices
