Drywall Construction Workshop for acousticians

On Wednesday 27 September 2017, the Institute of Acoustics, London Branch delivered a pilot one day workshop for acousticians to have a better appreciation of drywall construction issues and their impact on sound insulation performance. The idea came from the observation that acoustic consultants to the building industry seldom have experience of practical issues of on-site installations. Eugénie's training in architecture included hands-on building work, which she felt valuable in her role as an acoustician. She wanted to give her peers their own opportunity to physically build partitions to undertand builders' constraints and become more proficient in reading technical drawings.
