EARN 1 HSW/CEU WITH SARA | CA X Rockwool
More than just an R-value – Acoustics
Stone wool is often specified for its superior properties such as energy efficiency, sustainability, fire protection. This course will identify what stone wool insulation is and discuss some introductory terminology and concepts as they relate to sound and acoustics in the building envelope. We will examine current codes and standards for acoustics and finally, we will discuss some techniques and considerations that can be made when design systems for the interior and exterior of the building envelope.
Learning Objectives
Understand common terminology and concepts as they relate to acoustics.
Understand principles for designing high performance acoustic assemblies as well as leave with some example combinations of materials for both walls and roofs designed specifically for acoustics
Examine the acoustical benefits of stone wool versus other insulation materials in roofing and wall applications.
Discuss the acoustic codes and standards that are currently in place in the USA with specificity on occupant comfort in commercial buildings
