Wood WORKS! BC – Mass Timber Acoustics and Applications
The acoustics and sound transmission of the ever-growing popularity of mass timber building elements such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and others, will be discussed as it pertains to design, building codes, how sound travels from room to room and practical solutions. One of the main properties valued of mass timber, it’s light-weight and strength/weight ratio, actually is it’s worst property for sound transfer. This discussion will provide an introduction to acoustic terms, followed by a run-through of the various acoustic properties of typical mass timber structures, and ending with solutions and examples. An important theme throughout this discussion will be the implication on design elements and how the acoustic design can affect architectural finishes, construction sequencing, landlord tenant agreements and structural design.
