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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
