THIS IS AN ADVANCED COURSE
Introduction
IMPORTANT COURSE CREDIT DEADLINE: This course is approved as an Advanced Florida Building Code course based on the 8th Edition (2023) Florida Building Code. This version of the course will be retired when the 9th Edition (2026) Florida Building Code takes effect on December 31, 2026.
To receive Advanced Florida Building Code continuing education credit for this course, you must complete the course in its entirety by 11:59 p.m. on December 30, 2026.
Description
This seminar provides a comprehensive overview of Florida Building Code (FBC) acoustical requirements, focusing on multi-family residences, hotels, and similar occupancies. Participants will gain an understanding of Sound Transmission Class (STC), Impact Insulation Class (IIC), and enhanced classroom acoustics as specified in sections 1207 and 1211 of the FBC.
The course is divided into three parts:
Part 1: Covers laboratory and field rating systems for STC and IIC requirements, as well as ASTM testing standards and procedures.
Part 2: Focuses on designing and implementing acoustical systems, identifying potential pitfalls, and ensuring proper construction through Contract Documents and Construction Administration phase methods.
Part 3: Examines the new section 1211 on enhanced classroom acoustics, including compliance requirements, evaluation of building systems and finishes, and testing procedures during design and post-construction phases.
Participants will leave with actionable knowledge to address and prevent acoustical challenges in various building types.
Objective
1.Understand Florida Building Code Section 1207 requirements for STC and IIC ratings for building assemblies, as well as basic definitions and explanation of terms relating to required acoustic performance in buildings.
2. Implement architectural acoustic systems in the design and construction phases of a project where required in Section 1207 including systems, details, submittal and test report reviews, job site observation and post-construction verification testing.
3. Implement architectural acoustic systems in the design and construction phases of a project to meet the Section 1211 FBC requirements for Enhanced Acoustical Performance of Schools.
4. Understand field and laboratory test methods and analysis procedures that are performed to determine if acoustical assemblies and systems meet Section 1207 and 1211 building code requirements, including STC, IIC, Reverberation Time, and background noise levels.
