Course description: CEU Events: Introduction to Acoustics in Mass Timber Flooring Assemblies
Replacing concrete or steel with wood in the built environment is the guiding principle behind the growing mass timber trend in the construction industry. As a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to steel and concrete framing, mass timber structures contribute 30% less CO2 emissions than their concrete counterparts. Although mass timber has many advantages, it raises the issue of sound attenuation. In this course, we’ll explore the basics of mass timber types, benefits, challenges, and flooring/ceiling assembly solutions.
Explore the different types of mass timber products and construction types under the IBC.
Discuss the benefits of mass timber in construction, including fire/earthquake safety, faster building times, and the important role it has in the sustainable future of construction.
Review ASTM acoustic standards and the sound attenuation issues that arise in mass timber construction.
Understand the many assembly options available to combat sound issues in mass timber and where/when it is best to use each solution.
