The Basics of Sound Reduction
Performance Door Design: the Basics of Sound Reduction
Effective acoustic containment helps to improve the quality of the built environment, preserving privacy as well as excluding unwanted noise. Both a duty of care and regulations (including the recent revision of Approved Document E to the Building Regulations for England & Wales) mean it is essential to be informed of the relevant requirements, and the implications for door assemblies.
The CPD Covers:
- The nature of sound – examining both airborne and structural transmission of sound
- Regulatory requirements and British Standards the relate to acoustic performance
- Test procedures and interpretation of test reports
- Effective design of door assemblies for acoustic performance, including door construction and influence of sealing systems
- Design conflicts between acoustic performance, durability and ease of operation of the door
- Independent accreditation
