This presentation will cover the fundamentals of acoustics in wood construction, including the differences between lab and field testing and the on-site acoustic evaluations we perform. We’ll review the top five acoustic principles to watch for, explore innovative dry-topping solutions, and highlight why acoustics should be addressed early in design and pre-construction to avoid issues, improve performance, and potentially reduce costs throughout the project.

The three learning outcomes are as follows.

1. Attendees will learn the difference between STC and IIC and common misconceptions in the industry along with how these test ratings are achieved.
2. Attendees will learn what flanking is and the other principles that can affect acoustics results in wood buildings.
3. Attendees will learn from actual case studies of midrise buildings and how they achieved acoustic comfort.
