  2. Contents Part E Robust Details • Robust Details: • A&AC Process • New RDs • New Candidates • A&AC & The Code • Ctr – taming the tiger! • Weather check • Conclusions

  3. The Scheme Part E Robust Details Plot Registration Performance Monitoring Publication in Handbook Y Assessments Approval? N Applications for new robust details Withdraw or Amend design (possibly)

  4. The Scheme Part E Robust Details Assessments STAGE A 8 test sets + robustness assessment STAGE B 22* test sets + robustness assessment STAGE C Publication in Handbook *A reduced number of stage B test sets would be required for new flanking conditions to existing robust details, and might also be acceptable in the case of some new components of existing robust details

  19. Robust Details: Till now England and Wales have been 2nd in the WORLD in terms of field tested sound Insulation performance But there is something new on the horizon Code for Sustainable Homes

  20. A&AC & The Code Part E Robust Details Future Candidate RD Proposals Considerations by proposers towards The Code: • What target level of points is the wall or floor aiming for ? • Does it compliment other Code sections ? • Robust system approach – multi functional – multi regulatory – multi compliant ? • Marketing ?

  21. Part E Robust Details Taming the tiger The Code Ctr – Airborne sound insulation • +3, +5, +8dB • Ultimate airborne performance will be dictated by low frequency performance • To achieve repeatedly +8 dB the CRD proposers and their acoustic designers will have to focus heavily on 100Hz to 160Hz frequencies
