Absorption&Insulation Data

v1.
This spreadsheet contains indicative generic data (mainly historical data) that can be used to
carry out initial rough calculations for the purposes of BB93.
The descriptions in this spreadsheet for many of the products and constructions are vague
and therefore these data are not appropriate for use in submissions to a Building Control Bo
The intention is to update this spreadsheet with up-to-date UKAS laboratory measurement da

In all but the simplest of projects it is advisable to appoint a suitably qualified acoustic consu
