Wall Framing Pictures - LEED Points

There is a LEED for Homes point that can be earned for efficient use of materials if a project employs wall stud spacing of 16" on center (o.c.) or greater. We decided to space our wall studs at 24" o.c. where we could, and in the end, the stud spacing ranged between 16" and 24" o.c. depending on layout and and structural constraints. We are also going for a half a point for using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified interior wall framing studs. For those who are interested, here's some information on the forest management criteria for FSC Certified forests and their wood: www.fscus.org/standards_criteria/
