CMG Training on Demand

Part-E of the Building Regulations deals with sound in dwellings. It aims to ensure that dwellings achieve a reasonable degree of sound insulation from adjoining buildings, or separate dwellings within the same unit. 

This course will take you through the essential principles guiding the acoustic design in buildings to ensure sound insulation is maintained, and will provide you with a greater knowledge of the regulations, how they apply and will show best practices in sound design. 

We will be dealing with Part E of the Technical Guidance Documents, and in particular looking at sound/ acoustics principles, various means of assessment and the factors that can affect them. We will then look at Part E in detail, and will show exactly where it applies (and where it does not). Finally we will show guidance on acoustic testing, including equipment used, standards that must be maintained and the procedures involved.
