New Virtual CEU Session: Fire and Sound Working Together
Presented by PABCO Gypsum – November 6, 2024 – 1:00pm ET/12:00pm CT– AIA 1 LU/HSW
DESCRIPTION
Fire assembly best choices are often at odds with sound assembly methods.
Unfortunately, this often leads the design professional to choose one over the other. How can you really choose your favorite child? Usually, it’s the Fire Design that wins out, because after all that is a life safety issue while sound, is left to be whatever it is.
This course will show you that you often have more choices than you think. Good sound control can and should promote safety and contribute to the overall fire design. You just need to understand some of the details to think a little bit differently on how to approach both.
PROGRAM LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Gain an understanding of the attributes of a design that are good for Fire Resistance, but detrimental to Noise Control.
2. Learn how fire resistance ratings are written, achieved, and monitored.
3. Discover the How, Who and What of Acoustic Testing.
4. Understand how decisions on a fire assembly detail can affect sound results and how to find a way to achieve both goals.
