ICC G2-2010: Guideline for Acoustics recommends suitable sound isolation performance for construction systems that separate occupied spaces in commercial and multiple-family buildings such as offices, hospitals, schools, condominiums, apartments, dormitories, hotels and mixed-use buildings. The recommendations in this guideline call for improved acoustical analysis of assemblies, components and installation methods, and a more detailed inspection process beyond the minimum requirements traditionally found in building codes. The intent is to reflect the findings of extensive acoustical research, to better match expectations for acoustical comfort of the building occupants and to prepare for anticipated code changes regarding sound isolation. Specific design and evaluation techniques for managing this potential degradation are provided in this guideline.
