The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute (CFSEI) will host a webinar on “Resilience Amidst Uncertain Times: Preparing the Cold-Formed Steel Industry” on Thursday, February 24, 2022 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST. The webinar will be conducted by Don Allen, P.E., LEED AP, SECB, director of engineering for Super Stud Building Products. It is designed for architects, engineers, building officials and contractors. Participants are eligible for 1.5 PDHs.
Extreme weather, fire, earthquakes and even pandemics have challenged designers and builders to consider resilience in their planning. Cold-formed steel industry veteran and green building champion Don Allen will explore some of the ways to make designs and communities more resilient and review lessons learned from the ongoing pandemic. He will discuss how the supply of framing materials has been impacted, and how designers and builders can make their projects and businesses better prepared for the next unprecedented event. His presentation will include some history, design methodology and even philosophy on the responsibilities of design professionals, as well as activities to supplement their preparedness planning.
