Silent Timber Buildings for the European market

*

The project includes several scientific tasks. To address them and for efficient handling it has been divided into four technical work packages (WP). Project management and coordination is handled as a separate activity (WP5), since the interdisciplinary structure, the extensive data handling and the international approach of the project requires a very special focus. Each work package involves participants having essential knowledge for their specific task. The work packages will not only be handled in a consecutive way. Instead interdependencies and even iterative loops over the tasks are needed and planned. The effort from the different work packages will be well integrated to reach the projects final goal. Gender, equal opportunities, diversi ty and intersectionality aspects are included in the project. This could for example mean that differences in subjective response found in earlier projects will be analyzed and calculation tools will be adapted to different target groups, for example, stu dents, elderly or families with children. Technical content The following work packages are included: WP1: Prediction tools, low, medium and high frequencies WP2: Validation of prediction tools and constructions WP3: European Timber Sound Insulation At las WP4: Dissemination and Exploitation WP5: Coordination The work will start with a workshop, an European / international brain storming process to further develop and create innovative ideas and effective work planning within the different work package s. This workshop also gives the opportunity to have a starting point within the extensive and relevant ongoing research and to transfer all new knowledge and comprehensive data available to this project. The timing with other activities such as the standa rdization processes is perfect and the development of calculation tools and optimized constructions follow the intentions on European level.
