2 Polyester Sound Control Infill Issue Date September 2017 It is acceptable to replace the specified Pink Batts glass wool infill in GIB Noise Control Systems with polyester fibre infill of the same or greater thickness (if not compressed) provided the polyester manufacturer can prove it meets the minimum properties shown in the table below. Product Material Measured Density Kg/m 3 Air Flow Resistivity rayls/m Polyester Infill 100% Polyester Based on testing carried out by Winstone Wallboards in April 2017, subject to the conditions below, the noise attenuation ratings specified in GIB Noise Control Systems, 2017 will be retained when polyester fibre infill with the minimum properties listed in the table above are substituted for either R1.2 (50mm), R1.8 (75mm) or R2.2 (90mm) Pink Batts glass wool insulation of the same or greater thickness (refer to the thickness of the Pink Batts specified in the applicable GIB Noise Control System). In most cases GIB Noise Control Systems also provide Fire Resistance Ratings (FRRs). Subject to the conditions below, substituting 100% polyester fibre infill with the minimum properties listed in the table above for either R1.2 (50mm), R1.8 (75mm) or R2.2 (90mm) Pink Batts glass wool of the same or greater thickness will retain the published FRRs for these systems. To maintain the specified STC and IIC ratings, it is allowable to use the same thickness of polyester fibre infill as the originally specified Pink Batts glass wool infill. A greater thickness of polyester fibre infill may be used, provided it is not compressed when installed into the framing cavity. The performance of any other infill product type must be independently verified. Conditions Except to the extent expressly stated in this Testing Statement, where any substitution of cavity infill takes place, independent verification must be obtained to confirm that the noise control performance of the system will be maintained. Polyester fibre infill, and other insulation products, properties and characteristics may vary by product type and manufacturer. It remains the responsibility of the specifier, supplier and user to ensure compliance with the performance and requirements in this document, all other requirements and conditions of GIB Noise Control Systems, 2017, all applicable manufacturer s requirements, all required quality and durability standards, and all Building Code requirements.

4 Issue Date March 2006 This information is an extract from the GIB Noise Control Systems literature March SPECIFIC DESIGN The design information set out in this literature is necessarily generalised and only applicable to normal situations. Specific acoustic design advice should be sought from an experienced acoustical engineer in less common situations. For instance, inner city apartment developments of more than 5 storeys would usually benefit from specific design since even minor optimisation in construction can result in appreciable cost reductions. Specific design is also required where a residential development is located in a business or industrial zone and a specified internal noise level must be achieved for compliance with a building consent. The information given in this publication is based on normal free flowing traffic as the noise source and different types of noise could change the noise reduction values given. In particular this information should not be used where the noise source is loud or amplified music. Specific design is required in this case. VARIATION IN SOUND RATINGS The ability of building materials to resist the transmission of sound is dependent on their density, thickness and stiffness. Generally speaking light and stiff materials have poor sound insulation properties because they allow sound at certain frequencies (near the so-called critical frequency) to transmit easily. Materials of similar thickness and weight can have different sound reduction performance if they have different critical frequencies. For example, laminated glass has a better sound reduction because it reduces the effect of the critical frequency by damping vibration and reducing the stiffness of the window. MULTI-STOREY BUILDINGS In multi-storey buildings typical of apartment developments there are fewer transmission paths than traditional, single occupant, single level houses. For instance in the case of a bedroom on a mid level there will be no significant external noise transmission through the roof or the floor since these are shielded by the apartments above and below. Because there are fewer transmission paths the overall noise reduction is greater than a house with roof and floor paths. This factor can be included in the design by using the partial system performances detailed for types A, B and C construction. Thus for the apartment with only a wall and window path the performance is about 3 dba higher than the overall system performance. Multi-storey buildings do not often use weatherboards as an external cladding. However, 6mm fibre cement board can be used as an equivalent to 20mm weatherboards. It should be noted that the noise level does not reduce significantly with height in multi-storey buildings even up to 30 storeys and so the same construction must be used on all levels. WINDOW TO WALL RATIO There is no optimum window to wall ratio. Generally speaking, from an acoustic point of view, the smaller the window the better as it is often the weakest MARCH 2006 GIB HELPLINE OR GIB.CO.NZ FOR MORE INFORMATION GIB NOISE CONTROL SYSTEMS SUPPLEMENT 4

5 ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE path and thicker glazing or double glazing is more expensive in comparison to other building systems. The newer types of laminated glazing using a PMM interlayer (e.g. Pilkington HUSH Glass) provide about a 3 dba improvement over similar thickness float glass. A 3 dba reduction would otherwise require an increase from 6mm to 10mm float glass. ASSUMPTIONS IN DESIGN The major assumption in design is that the noise spectrum is a traffic noise spectrum. The noise reduction may be a little more for industrial noise, which generally has more mid to high frequency, and less for low frequency dominated noises such as pubs or nightclubs etc. Another significant assumption is that windows are perfectly sealed. This is a reasonable assumption for aluminium joinery but a poor assumption for timber joinery. We would not recommend standard timber joinery for any noise reduction application above standard construction. Also all design assumes closed windows. Open windows will generally lower the noise reduction to between 10 and 15 dba. Fibre cement board (6mm) can be used as an equivalent to 20mm weatherboards. However, if a brick veneer is specified a slightly higher dba loss can be expected. Noise levels quoted are average levels. These are L eq for traffic noise, L dn for aircraft noise and L 10 for industrial noise. 5

6 ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE Knowing the environmental noise levels for the area will determine which construction type is most suitable to achieve the indoor noise level required. TRAFFIC NOISE The average L eq traffic noise levels quoted in the table below will assist in determining the likely noise levels faced when building within a certain distance of a particular type of road. AIRCRAFT NOISE L dn noise levels quoted are the average levels for aircraft noise. Each airport prepares a set of noise boundaries called the Inner Control Boundary and the Outer Control Boundary. These are based on the 65 dba L dn contour and the 55 dba L dn contour respectively. Outside the Outer Control Boundary no noise control is deemed necessary. Between the Outer and Inner Control Boundaries housing is a permitted activity but the walls and roof of the house must provide sufficient sound insulation to achieve a reasonable indoor noise level. Inside the Inner Control Boundary housing is generally a controlled or discretionary activity subject to meeting the internal noise levels. The relevant Local Authority sets the indoor level. The most common level is 45 dba L dn. These noise levels are subject to change from time to time. The building designer must consult the local authority to ascertain the required indoor level and consult the relevant planning maps to determine the aircraft noise exposure at the proposed building location. INDUSTRIAL NOISE L 10 noise levels quoted are the average levels for industrial noise. Generally when dwellings are built in an industrial or business zoned area the building must be built with sufficient sound insulation to reduce the noise level inside to a reasonable level, assuming that the industry next door is making the maximum noise level permitted by the District Plan rules for that zone. Often this reasonable level will be left to the acoustic consultant to determine. The usual indoor level used is a level of 35 dba for bedrooms at night and 45 dba for other habitable spaces during the day. The maximum noise level will vary from zone to zone and also from Local Authority to Local Authority. Generally the noise levels will be between 60 dba and 75 dba. Zonings are subject to plan changes and the building designer must consult the local authority to determine the current zoning and noise rules.
