PERFORMANCE CRITERIA -ACOUSTICS

Acoustic overview

Acoustic / Occupant Comfort

A large percentage of a buildings cost

is directly related to its occupation

Essential for productivity in the

workplace

Poor acoustic environment significantly

affects performance

Sound is a series of waves or pressure fluctuations.

Measured in Hz

Humans can hear between 20Hz –

20,000Hz

Pressure is measured in Decibels (dB)

Acoustic Performance -

Absorption

Acoustic absorption

Ability of a surface to absorb sound,

minimising the reflection of sound

energy back into a space

The room characteristic that defines this feature is “reverberation time”

the length of time (in seconds) that it

takes for a sound source to decay by

60 dB.

Measured

Sound Absorption Rating (αω)

Sound Absorption Class (Class A to E)

Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC)

Acoustic Performance -

Attenuation

Acoustic attenuation

Sound attenuation is used to describe

the reduction in sound between two

spaces separated by a dividing

element, with two basic sound

transmission paths.

Direct sound transmission is the level of sound passing through the dividing element I.e. – Relocatable Partitioning

Flanking sound transmission is the level of sound passing through surrounding structures

I.e. – Suspended Ceilings

Results measured in dB and presented as a single figure

Acoustic Performance – Ceilings

Buildings need to achieve a balance and mix of sound absorption and attenuation products to achieve the correct results

AbsorptionAcoustic fleece - 0.65αω / Class C

Acoustic pad - 0.90αω / Class A

Acoustic pad and steel backing plate -0.70αω / Class C

Acoustic pad and plasterboard backing -0.65αω / Class C

AttenuationPlain tile - 43dB

Acoustic fleece - 13dB

Acoustic pad - 30dB

Acoustic pad and steel backing plate -48dB

Acoustic pad and plasterboard backing -49dB

The acoustic performance of partitioning can vary subject to the specified build

Glass can provide between 32 and 49 dB subject to

Build configuration

Glass type

Cavity size

Types of door installed

Acoustic Performance –

Partitioning

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA - FIRE

Fire Performance - Ceilings

Requirements for fire performance Building Regulations, Part B (Fire Safety)

Metal ceiling tiles tested and certified in accordance with:

BS 476-23 (also known as Class 0)

EN13501-1

European equivalent for Class OB-s3,d2

B = Fire behaviour

s3 = Smoke production (no limit)

D2 = droplets debris (no limit)

Metal tiles have a European Class performance of:

A2-s1,d0

Fire Performance - Partitioning

Fire resistant partitions provide a means of escape or compartmentalise a building

Approved Document BBB 100 – Design for fire safety in schoolsHTM 56 – Partitions

BS476 Part 20:1987 – Method for determination of the fire resistance of elements of construction (Test Methods)

BS476 Part 22:1987 – Methods for determination of the fire resistance of elements of non-load bearing elements of construction

Partitioning is designed to provide vertical fire separation when exposed to fire from one side

The Image to the left shows a fire test after 7 minutes

Fire Performance - Partitioning

Fire test procedures measures:

Integrity – The time for the partition to

remain intact

Insulation – The time for the

temperature to rise by 180°C on the

non fire side of the partition

Results are given in time:

30/0 - 30 mins integrity

30/30 - 30 mins integrity, 30 mins

insulation

60/0 - 60 mins integrity

The Image to the left shows the same fire test after 73 minutes

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA –

STRUCTURAL, LOADING &

INTEGRATION

Structural performance -

Partitioning

Categories of Duty relating to stiffness and robustness of solid partitioning is defined by BS5234-2: 1992 Annexes A to G

BS5234 is dedicated to internal partitioning

Atrium glazing is specified to BS6180 (Code of Practice for protective barriers) and must be applied due to higher line loading requirements

Structural performance -

Partitioning

Testing Procedures

Annex A – Stiffness

Annex B – Small hard body impact test (surface damage)

Annex C – Resistance to damage by impact from a large soft body

Annex D – Perforation by small hard impact

Annex E – Resistance to structural damage by impact from a large soft body

Annex F – Door slamming

Annex G – Crowd pressure

Ceiling Suspension

Association of Interior Specialists

Guide to selection and installation of

top fixings for suspended ceilings.

Top 4 reasons for ceiling collapse

Incorrect selection of fixing

Incorrect installation of fixing

Additional load applied

Insufficient number of fixings

Guide downloadable from AIS Website and a 15 minute CPD is also available

Suspension Grid and Hangers

Metal ceilings are suspended by rigid hangers

Pre punched, avoids snipping and

punching angle or using threaded rod

Reduces installation time

Majority of systems use primary suspension grids

Improve installed accuracy to meet

building module

Reduces site installation time

Can provide support for additional

loads

Service integration - Ceilings

Suspended ceilings need to provide service integration and accessibility.

Integrated M&E products include:

Luminaires

Speakers

Fire detection and control

Grills / diffusers

Chilled ceiling / chilled beams

Apertures:

Formed during manufacturing

Reduces site waste

Improves site efficiencies

Partitioning Deflection

Essential when designing and installing partitioning systems to allow for suitable building slab deflection

Dead and live loads can cause significant movement in some long-span floor systems

A live load will almost certainly cause some degree of movement which impacts on the space between he floor and ceiling slab

Partitioning Deflection

Range of deflection options

±25mm two part head track

±15mm one part head track

Bespoke deflection option where greater than ± 25mm is specified

Glass and Drywall integration

Sharing single piece continuous deflection head across glass and solid elements

Re-locatable

Partitioning - Drywall integration

Seamless integration from glass into solid

Recessed junctions provide clean joint

Varying widths of drywall and glass

Performance glass can be specified

Partitioning to Ceilings

Integration with Metal ceilings

No installation damage

No long-term costs
