For many decades now, homebuilders have employed the use of wood or metal framing when constructing the structural framework of a project.  While these traditional methods have their advantages, and while advancements have been made on increasing the performance of stud framed homes, the potential for energy inefficiency, moisture problems and long-term structural and internal issues remain prevalent. Historically, stud frame construction was invented during a time when insulation between studs had not yet existed.
