This first Talking Timber webinar of 2024 will cover Timber Buildings and Acoustics.
Sound insulation is often perceived as a vulnerability in timber buildings. With good design, this need not be the case. This short webinar focuses on the principles of sound control and the application of it in timber buildings. It is aimed at architects, engineers and other built environment professionals in South Africa who want to understand acoustic design in wood structures.
SPEAKERS INCLUDE:
- Dr Phillip Crafford – Stellenbosch University – Timber buildings and acoustics
- Niel Crafford – PlanEco / Crafford & Crafford Architects – Case Study: Timber Buildings in Southern Africa – Ponta Membene
- Mark O’Connor – Rothoblaas – Technology for Acoustics treatment available in South Africa.
The webinar will be recorded and made available on Sawmilling South Africa’s YouTube channel. You will also find past webinars on this platform.
