Abstract (english)

Light steel framed (LSF) panels are relatively new construction systems that are light weight, highly resistant, recyclable, and reusable. In general, this building system incorporates three main parts: steel studs, sheathing boards, and insulation materials. Each part of a LSF panel has a distinct and significant role in fulfilling basic building requirements. Based on literature review, this article gives a brief overview of the properties of insulation and sheathing materials, various panel configuration performances, their main advantages and disadvantages, with the focus on the thermal performance at ambient and elevated temperatures.
