Home Plans – Ready to Go! Building in Steel: A Home Planning Guide You too can enjoy the benefits of owning a steel home! Building a predesigned steel-framed home on your lot is easier if it is a home plan with which design professionals, builders and framers are familiar! The Hawaii Pacific Steel Framing Alliance (HSA) offers plans for sale to its members to make building a steel home easier. The HSA is a nonprofit organization made up of people like you: owners, architects, engineers, contractors, builders and suppliers. Anyone can join! Choose any of the three plans and have a design professional modify it to suit your needs and your site and build it in steel! 1. Selecting a Plan for Your Lot The Plans: To build a steel-framed home from the Members Design Portfolio, begin with a “study set” and this directory. Use these to decide if the home meets your needs and will fit on your lot. You may also purchase a “complete set” of architectural plans which cost $950 - $1,700 from the HSA. This will include full-scale drawings (blueprints) for a slab-on-grade home including: dimensioned floor plans, exterior elevations, optional front elevation, roof plans, window and door schedules, interior elevations and a title page for your site map. The complete set does not include a “professional stamp” or structural engineering. Structural design will be based on your site and input from the builder. The plans are copyright protected.

2. Selecting an Architect or an Engineer Design Process: Hire a design professional to adapt the house to your lot and complete the structural design. Before you hire your engineer and architect, you can check the CFSEI member list on page 14. Talk to member builders and framers to learn more about building in steel and what products they use. Some engineers have preferences that you can discuss with your builder. There is more than one way to build any home. Ask about the different types of cold-formed steel designs and the costs and benefits of each. After your engineer has finished the structural design and stamped the plans, apply for a permit. 3. Selecting a Builder Builders and Framers: We recommend you interview more than one builder and get at least three qualified estimates with product specifications. Ask to have it framed in steel! A steel-framed home requires technical skills and experience. When built correctly it is extremely strong and durable. Call the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs at (808) 587-3222, ext. 1 to ensure you hire a licensed contractor in good standing. Check the HPSFA member list on page 12. Make sure your builder has experience, a good reputation and is financially capable. Require a Performance and Completion Bond. 4. Selecting Building Materials and Specifications Resources and Building Materials: Many member builders, design professionals and suppliers will provide package pricing. Use this directory to find “participating members,” look for the (house) symbol in the following pages. As part of the final process, you should approve the material specifications and have them listed in the construction contract documents provided by the architect or builder. Ask your builder to provide you with a package price and listing of the products. We recommend using quality name brands and reliable island distributors, including the sponsors listed below!

Onward and Upward! The demand for cold-formed steel has grown because building codes specifications for non-combustible materials around the country are on the rise — and steel does not burn or contribute fuel to a fire. Building codes now permit steel framing to be used in structures taller than the four-story height limit. We anticipate that a lot of builders will use steel framing for mid-rise projects (such as condominiums, apartments, office buildings or dormitories) as it enables them to build taller projects faster than they can with other materials

while offering other opportunities to increase their bottom lines as well, including lower construction costs, faster construction cycles and lower insurance premiums. While the traditional way of building these structures in the past have mostly been made out of masonry, two recent projects in Hawaii have already been built using cold-formed steel. The Colony at the Peninsula and the Princeville Starwood Property were constructed using load bearing steel framing. The HSA is actively assisting developers, engineers, architects and framers on mid-rise CFS design and construction practices, including reduced builders risk insurance and increased floor space due to fire ratings. It is anticipated that the rail project will foster the development of many mid-rise structures at the stations along its route. The HSA is planning to put together in the next few months a forum with experts who are already engaged in the design and construction of mid-rise CFS structures to help assist engineers and contractors in 11:26 AM Page 1 Hawaii on this type of noncombustible construction.

Energy Code Brings Challenges, Opportunities By Judith Shinsato
In October 2009, the Hawaii Building Code Council of the state Department of Accounting & General Services approved the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) 2006 as the statewide energy code and it became law on Nov. 28. “Currently, the state is going through the process of adopting the 2009 edition,” says Mark Nowak,
to reduce the size and use of air conditioning. And ideally, any measures used to increase energy efficiency should have a payback of no more than five years, according to Howard Wiig, institutional energy analyst for the Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism (DBEDT). “The ability to conduct a whole building simulation and determine
From left: Tim Waite, HSA president; Mark Nowak, Steel Framing Alliance president; Mike Moore, senior energy engineer for Newport Ventures, Inc.; and Howard Wiig, institutional energy analyst for the DBEDT — Nowak, Moore and Wiig were featured speakers at HSA’s June 9 seminar on the energy code.
president of the national Steel Framing Alliance, who conducted a seminar for the HSA discussing “Thermal Design, Energy Codes and Cold-Formed Steel Framing.” Though not all states in the nation have a mandatory energy code, adds Nowak, “If a state has accepted ARRA federal funds, (it) has agreed to adopt the 2009 IECC as a minimum energy code. This is what is driving Hawaii to adopt it.” While the overall goal of the 2009 code is to reduce the impact of the built environment on the natural environment, and especially in Hawaii, to reduce the state’s dependence on oil, the code’s more stringent regulations also present new challenges to the growing local cold-formed steel (CFS) framing industry. Practically, this means constructing a tighter building
the most cost-effective way to meet the code has been substantially diluted in the 2009 IECC,” says Nowak. “The code no longer allows one to consider the impact of higher efficiency cooling, heating, or water heating equipment and its effect on the energy use in the building. This basically forces the builder using steel to comply with some very restrictive and expensive prescriptive requirements that mandate costly exterior foam insulation on the outside of walls (in addition to the regular insulation in the wall cavity).” These measures can add anywhere from $1.50 up to $3 per square foot to the cost of a home but does not add significantly to energy savings. “One of the energy consultants in attendance at (a) state energy code committee
6 | 2010 Hawaii Pacific Steel Alliance resource directory
meeting in June stated that this is a $5,000 added cost to a new home,” adds Nowak. “Our analysis shows the exterior insulation has a payback of around 50 years as opposed to the more normal payback of five to 10 years used in code decisions in the past.” On the bright side, Nowak says there is more than one way to comply with the IECC: three options under what is known as the prescriptive path — R-value minimum, U-factor minimum and total UA alternative — as well as the performance path. “The R-value prescriptive path is convenient and easy to follow but definitely requires foam insulation on CFS walls. The U-factor approach is most useful for nonconventional building assemblies,” explains Nowak. “The UA alternative and performance path offers greater flexibility and, as a result, significant benefits in construction costs but require more upfront effort and expense.” Nowak also advises the industry to look beyond the immediate impact of the IECC and focus on the opportunities it opens. Essentially, the code only considers each component of a building envelope in and of itself. “The opportunity is there for someone to step up and take control of the entire building design versus the current and past approach of everyone just looking at their own product or component. Under the newer codes, there is a relationship between framing type, cooling system design, insulation, siding attachment, and other components of the home. Yet no one is looking at the building design from a perspective of how steel framing interacts with the rest of the building. If the steel industry participants (manufacturers or framers) don’t step up and take on this role, someone else will who may not be as knowledgeable of our product and its benefits.” It’s a call to action that would be difficult to ignore.

Why Steel’s the Deal Steel framing has become the standard for home building in Hawaii where thousands of steel-framed homes have been built. Homeowners in Hawaii expect their new houses to be framed out of steel. Hawaii is the leader in CFS technology with the highest percentage of homes being framed with this durable product. People from around the world still come to see steel framing here in Hawaii. Here are just some of the reasons:
Sustainability Standards • S teel is the most recycled product in the world, 83 million tons of steel scrap were recycled in 2007: more than paper, aluminum, glass, and plastic combined. (See Steel Recycling Institute: www.recyclesteel.org - Earn Steel Recycled Content Credit). • Steel recycling programs reduce the solid waste stream, resulting in saved landfill space, and help to conserve our natural resources. • Steel is recognized as a green building material in the National Green Building Standard, (ICC-700), ASHRAE 189.1, Green Globes and other rating systems such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). • The use of steel building products enables builders and designers to comply and often exceed the requirements of the various standards and programs. To learn more about steel’s role in green building visit: www.steelframing.org.
Environmentally Responsible •E very piece of steel manufactured contains recycled steel, it is required in the steel making process and all steel is 100 percent recyclable. From the car to the grill to the kitchen sink, steel can be melted down again and again without losing its quality. Steel scrap is our largest raw material by tonnage. • The average landfill consists of approximately 60 percent construction debris, mostly concrete, wood and plastic. By using CFS builders can reduce their disposal costs and divert material from local landfills. • Debris from a steel-framed house accounts for only 2 cubic feet of landfill waste compared to 50 cubic feet from traditional home construction. •U sing steel takes the pressure off of other resources: a typical 2,000-square-foot home requires about 40 to 50 trees, about an acre’s worth. With steel, only the equivalent of about six scrapped automobiles are needed.
Strong, Straight, and Durable • S teel framing has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any building material. 8 | 2010 Hawaii Pacific Steel Alliance resource directory
• S teel is roll-formed into precise, uniform shapes with exacting tolerances. • The sections are straight and do not require sorting or special handling to ensure for crown. No planing of studs is required. • Steel does not shrink or expand when subjected to moisture changes caused by preservative treatments, rain, or changes in humidity. • Steel does not rot, warp, split, crack, or creep. Using steel framing virtually eliminates nail pops and drywall cracking. • Steel satisfies Hawaii standards for termite resistant construction that were developed in the 1980s. • Steel framing provides a termite proof structural solution and minimizes the need for costly termiticides, tenting and extra costly treatments.

Steel Myths Advantages of Steel • S teel provides the possibility for large spans and open spaces. CFS trusses can span up to 60 feet or more. • Steel harmonizes with all materials, made to the same shapes and sizes as traditional stick framing. • Steel is noncombustible, making it an attractive building material in commercial and residential construction. This also makes it ideal for applications in areas that are prone to wildfires. In addition, steel’s fire resistance can help slow the spread of fire within a building. • CFS structures qualify for lower insurance rates. Visit www.steelframing.org to learn more. • Steel is galvanized, protecting the members from corrosion. In order for galvanized steel to rust there must be a constant supply of water. As with all framing materials, structures must be protected from water intrusion to prevent mold, mildew, and rot. • Steel framing members in wall cavities, attic spaces, or crawl spaces that are not exposed to water will last over 100 years. • Zinc coating protects steel by providing a physical barrier as well as cathodic protection to the underlying steel. When the base steel is exposed, such as at a cut or scratch, the steel is cathodically protected by the sacrificial corrosion of the zinc coating adjacent to the steel.
• S teel-framed houses do not attract lightning strikes. Steel high rises in Honolulu have provided occupants with safe offices and residences for years. • A steel-framed home can be engineered for the highest wind and seismic rating given by code. • Steel-framed houses are fire resistant and non-combustible, making it an attractive material especially in the commercial building industry, and qualifying steel for lower insurance rates. • Studs, joists, and rafters do not add fuel to a fire (1/3 of all fires start in the wall cavity). • Steel-framed houses do not “melt” in a fire. Framing members can resist up to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. • Steel framing can be used for additions and renovations for existing wood houses, especially those with termite damage. Screwed connections make it easy to move walls and for other renovations in the future.
Steel is Healthy •T he Healthy House Institute and American Lung Association recommend steel framing for good indoor air quality. • Chemically sensitive homeowners and those susceptible to asthma are exposed to fewer chemicals in steel-framed homes. • Steel resists mold spores that can lead to chronic illness.

The Terrible Termites (from Treated Wood Use in Hawaii, December 2009) Formosan Subterranean Termites cost Hawaii residents about $100 million a year1. Across the U.S., estimates place the damage from termites at over $5B/year. Due to its size and aggressive foraging behavior, a colony of Formosan termites does more damage than single colonies of other U.S. subterranean species, and can cause significant structural damage to a home in only six months. They are known to enter buildings through cracks in concrete flooring or travel under tile flooring through gaps less than 1 ⁄16” wide2 . They have also been known to eat their way through concrete, bricks or mortar to reach wood, chewing through many other materials, including insulation around underground electrical lines causing power outages. FSTs can eat through thin sheets of metal, mortar, PVC pipe, electric power
and telecommunication lines and most woods, including hardwoods, paint, plaster, gypsum board, and even CMU block in order to get to a food source. A typical colony will consume over 1,000 pounds of wood per year3. Unpredictable invasiveness of ground termites makes them difficult to detect and control4. The termite is ‘hidden from view’ at all times. The presence of termites may be indicated by: a sagging door or floor, leaks in the roof, a warped wall, a hollow sounding beam, discolored or blistered paint, depressions in wood, moisture collecting in unusual places, springy floors or steps, mud tubes on interior or exterior walls, wood rot, interruptions in power or communications like short circuits, telecommunication blackouts, or similar problems. By the time termites are detected, considerable
10 | 2010 Hawaii Pacific Steel Alliance resource directory
damage has already been done to the structure. FSTs can travel from below ground to a suitable food source as high as the third story attic space, and higher5. Formosan termites can establish secondary colonies in very moist wood of upper stories of buildings (even several stories above ground) and do not need soil contact if there is a nearly constant moisture source. This is particularly prevalent in areas of high humidity where wood moisture is above average. Leaking roofs or plumbing fixtures are common water sources for such “aerial” colonies6 . It has been documented where a mud tube was built from the wood floor, up over 12” into the air to reach a water source: water in a waterbed. The termites actually reached the wood frame of the bed and ate through the wood to get to the water source. The discovery was made only after the bed leaked7. Ground termites eat mainly the springwood (softer wood) of susceptible timbers, most often leaving the summer wood (harder wood) sections. This can be easily seen when a damaged timber is cut open for inspection. Trees serve as gateways for termites to enter a house. Termites constantly search for food sources, which include trees. There are a number of cases in Hawaii where live plants and trees have been attacked by termites. Termites infest the center of a tree but do not break through the bark. They eat right up to the outer rim of the tree. The tree can be weakened considerably so that when a strong wind comes along it can fall over. The danger in having an infested tree
in the yard is that ground termites can travel through the roots. If the roots go under the foundation of the house it is a subway that can lead them into the house, where the structural wood becomes food. Because they travel inside the root and are afforded its protection they can be very difficult to control or detect. Among the termite favorites are papaya, sweet corn, mango, avocado, various citrus, Norfolk pine, and eucalyptus. Most houses built in the 80s were constructed on agricultural lands that had been infested previously by termites. In Hawaii, when a home is found by pest control companies to be infested with Drywood termites (not yet with subterranean termites), that usually means tenting the home. Tenting a home is a process where the house is covered with a tent or tarp. Gas is pumped into the home and left alone for at least 24 hours to kill the termites. The gas is then released from the home and inspectors come in to measure the gas in the air to make sure it is safe to re-enter the home. House tenting is costly. The occupants must vacate the home for 2-3 days including all pets. An increase in house break-ins has been observed the past few years as the tenting provides an open invitation to vandals that the homeowner is not present. This is not a practice commonly used with subterranean termites.

Steel buildings offer many advantages; they’re durable, termite-resistant and recyclable – in fact, steel is the most recycled material in the world. Simpson Strong-Tie introduces several innovative products for cold-formed steel that offer their own unique benefits. Our new HTT4 and HTT5 tension ties provide higher loads, install with #10 screws and meet the new code standards. Our new high-strength LCE4 column cap installs on the left or right side and eliminates the needs for lefts and rights. And our S/HJCT joist hanger has a higher load capacity, allowing joists to be attached from either side or doubled up. To learn more about these and other new products, visit www.strongtie.com/cfs and download our 2010 Cold-Formed Steel Connectors catalog. To speak with a Simpson Strong-Tie representative in Hawaii, dial (808) 479-1216.
