Session 4B Acoustical Performance of Fire Rated Demising Walls Sponsored by CEMCO The next wave of construction defect claims is here, and it’s making quite a splash. Unlike construction defects that focus on mold and water infiltration caused by heavy rain and/ or faulty construction, sound defects can happen daily. The current speci- fied STC rating listed in the building codes still may not be good enough as most people are easily annoyed by loud neighbors. As a contractor/ architect/developer, how can you protect yourself against potential claims related to STC values? This seminar will cover what goes into an ASTM E-90 sound test, what types of materials improve or decrease STC values, how underperforming
systems. Case studies showing these innovative design applications in real-world settings will be used to show participants how architects continue to push the boundaries of what fire-rated glass can do.
