The CSC Calgary Chapter will be offering the following presentation at its October 19, 2021 lunch/virtual meeting.
The Spec Writers Guide to the (Acoustic) Galaxy.
The 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. presentation will cover:
The difference between acoustic lab and acoustic field performance, and why it matters. The impact of your Division 9 specifications on acoustic field performance and the key details that can make or break the field performance of acoustical assemblies.
Avoiding pitfalls in your acoustic wall and ceiling design:
- CAC – relying on CAC for sound blocking and speech privacy could put your clients privacy requirements at risk;
STC – more is not always more; - The impact of stud thickness (and gauge and more) on STC;
- Resilient Channels – overpromising and under delivering; and
- Sound reducing drywall (a.k.a. acoustic drywall). Does the math finally work? It is time for some really complex addition!
ASTC versus STC:
LUMINO Park Affordable Housing Case Study (Calgary, Alta.)
The critical role of spec writers, architectural technologists, and contract administrators for successful acoustical field installations.
