transmission loss test reports should be assessed by a qualified
acoustical consultant to verify compliance with the recommended level
of 45 dB(A).
3. All entry doors from exterior spaces to habitable areas should be well
weather-stripped. Solid-core assemblies should be at least 1 3/4-inch
thick. For the north and east building facades, glazed door assemblies
should be sound-rated assemblies that provide a minimum STC of 32.
The glazed assemblies used in the analysis are Milgard 3621 series
French doors. If assemblies other than these are desired, then their
sound transmission loss test reports should be assessed by a qualified
acoustical consultant to verify compliance with the recommended level
of 45 dB(A).
4. The recommended interior noise standard is to be met with windows
and doors closed. Therefore, ventilation is needed per the Uniform
Building Code standards in order to provide a habitable environment
with windows closed.
5. Exterior walls should be constructed with gypsum wallboard interior,
7/8-inch stucco exterior, with minimum R-11 insulation between the
studs. All joints should be well fitted and/or caulked to form an airtight
seal.
