Free WoodSolutions WEBINAR: Acoustic Design of Mid-rise Timber Buildings

Extensive acoustic research programs, in the laboratory and on site, have shown that wood-based construction systems are able to meet or exceed the sound insulation performance requirements, when expert design advice and collaboration is utilised.

This webinar will describe the state of the art, with the authors of WoodSolutions Technical Design Guide 44 “CLT Acoustic Performance”, through:

- A comparison of the BCA requirements versus AAAC (peak acoustic body) recommendations, for both massive and light timber frame systems
- Suggestions on how to coordinate structural connections and sound flanking issues
- An example from a completed project: the AVEO Norwest Retirement Independent Living Units
