Quiet by Design: Understanding and Addressing Flanking (Kij), Lightweight Assemblies, and Best Practices in Mass Timber Projects

Description & Learning Objectives:

 Join us for Quiet by Design, an in-depth webinar exploring how to achieve consistent, high-performing acoustics in mass timber projects. Cristian Wallace, together with a panel of leading acoustic experts, will unpack the complexities of flanking (Kij), share best-practice detailing strategies—including bulkheads and wall interfaces—to help you avoid costly construction errors, and present the latest research on lightweight floor and ceiling assemblies for mass timber systems, including GLT.

  1.  Understanding and Addressing Flanking (Kij)
    Gain a clear understanding of how sound transmits through indirect paths and learn proven methods to identify, measure, and control flanking effectively.
  2. Best Practices in Acoustic Design
    Discover key detailing approaches—such as optimized bulkhead integration and wall interfaces—that enhance acoustic performance, improve Kij values, and minimize costly construction errors.
  3. Lightweight Assemblies for Mass Timber Structures

Explore innovative, lightweight floor and ceiling assemblies purpose-designed for mass timber systems, including the latest findings and design guidance for GLT applications.
