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. This CPD covers: The nature of sound – examining both airborne and structural transmission of sound; Regulatory requirements and British Standards that 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 on the door; Independent accreditation.
