This is a presentation that I did on speech privacy of healthcare spaces, regarding the use of damped panels versus multiple layers of drywall. It focused more on the transmission of speech sound than any other type of noise.

Accendo GloGreen Digital HID (DHID) Ballast B600W-277M Electrical Test ReportAccendo Electronics Ltd.
Accendo commits to the success of your lighting retrofit/upgrade, or new Green lighting project with high-quality, safety approved products. Accendo products are manufactured to the utmost of quality assurance standards. All GloGreen Series Digital HID (DHID) ballasts undergo a thorough inspection before leaving the factory.
The following are examples of test reports completed for the GloGreen Series 50W, 70W, 150W, 200W/250W, 400W, 575W, 600W, 750W and 1000W DHID ballasts. Each individual GloGreen Series ballast must undergo a burn-in period after final assembly to ensure the DHID ballast is operational at its intended specification. Please note, these tested GloGreen Series ballasts can operate either Metal Halide (MH) or High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) bulbs; as indicated, and with equal energy efficiency.
The thin white topping (TWT) can be a cost-effective measure that extends the life of existing asphalt pavements. This project is aimed at calibrating the TWT design method developed by the Colorado Department of Transportation using data from an experiment conducted under the accelerated pavement testing (APT) program at Kansas State University.

6. SPC Defined3
SPC ≈ TL(ave) + Ln(ave) + 1,
where
TL(ave) and Ln(ave) are the arithmetic
averages of the 1/3rd octave band
values (160 Hz–5 kHz) of TL and
background noise3

30. Conclusions
• Multiple layers of gypsum =
inadequate speech privacy
• Constrained-layer damping (CLD) =
meet/exceed standard speech
privacy
• CLD transmission loss vs. multi-layer
gypsum, broad frequency range
• Increasing stud width from 3-5/8” to 6”
• Further optimization/double-leaf
modeling/field testing
31. Cost Effectiveness of CLD
San Francisco Hospital Case Study
• Replacing double-layers resulted in 101,339 sqft less gypsum
delivered to jobsite
• Reduction of 178 Carpenter Man Days
• Reduction of drywall screw inspections
• 6 fewer 30 yd dumpsters to remove scrap
Savings with CLD Panel
Labor & Material Savings $141,775
Reduced IOR Inspections $90,000
Reduced 30YD dumpsters $4,260
Total Cost Savings $236,035
