Abstract
As part of a project to develop durable, energy-efficient wall assemblies that can accommodate extreme outdoor and indoor climate conditions in northern and coastal regions, NRC-IRC researchers completed three field surveys of these conditions. Results are discussed. A new guide for achieving acceptable sound isolation in wood-frame construction is available. The Guide will help designers choose the structural elements, the fire blocks and the connections at the junctions of partition walls and floors. A new guide on the performance of basement materials and systems is available. This 200-page well illustrated guide will assist in the design and construction of performing basement systems suitable for the Canadian climate.
