Evaluating the Effectiveness of Closed Cell Insulation for Soundproofing

In the pursuit of creating comfortable and tranquil indoor environments, soundproofing plays a pivotal role. Among the myriad soundproofing solutions available, Closed Cell Insulation stands out as a promising option. In this article, we delve into the effectiveness of closed-cell insulation for soundproofing applications, exploring its properties, applications, and real-world performance.

Understanding Closed Cell Insulation:

Closed Cell Insulation is a type of foam insulation renowned for its dense structure and closed-cell configuration. Unlike open-cell insulation, which contains interconnected air pockets, closed-cell insulation features sealed cells that resist the passage of air and moisture. This dense composition lends Closed Cell Insulation superior thermal insulation properties and, critically, exceptional soundproofing capabilities.

Properties and Mechanisms of Soundproofing:

The effectiveness of closed-cell insulation for soundproofing lies in its ability to dampen sound waves and reduce transmission between spaces. When installed within walls, floors, or ceilings, closed-cell insulation absorbs sound energy, preventing it from passing through the building envelope. The dense structure of closed-cell foam acts as a barrier, impeding the propagation of airborne and impact noises, thus enhancing acoustic comfort within the building.

Applications of Closed Cell Insulation for Soundproofing:

Cell Insulation finds versatile applications in soundproofing various spaces, ranging from residential homes to commercial buildings and industrial facilities. In residential settings, it can be installed between wall studs, beneath floors, or within ceiling cavities to minimize noise transfer between rooms. In commercial environments, such as offices, theaters, or recording studios, Closed Cell Insulation serves as an effective solution for creating acoustically isolated spaces conducive to productivity and creativity.

Comparative Analysis:

To gauge the effectiveness of closed-cell insulation for soundproofing, it's essential to compare it to alternative soundproofing materials and methods. Compared to traditional insulation materials like fiberglass or cellulose, closed-cell foam offers superior sound absorption and transmission loss due to its denser composition. Additionally, Closed Cell Insulation outperforms open-cell foam insulation in soundproofing applications, as its sealed cells provide greater resistance to airflow and noise transmission.

Closed Cell Insulation

Real-World Performance:

In real-world scenarios, the performance of closed-cell insulation for soundproofing has been extensively documented and validated. Case studies and acoustic testing have demonstrated significant reductions in noise levels within buildings outfitted with closed-cell foam insulation. From reducing airborne noise from HVAC systems to blocking impact noise from foot traffic, closed-cell insulation consistently delivers tangible improvements in acoustic comfort and privacy.

Considerations and Best Practices:

While Closed Cell Insulation offers impressive soundproofing capabilities, several factors influence its effectiveness. Proper installation techniques, including ensuring seamless coverage and adequate thickness, are essential for maximizing soundproofing performance. Additionally, addressing potential sound transmission pathways, such as gaps around doors, windows, and electrical outlets, enhances the overall effectiveness of closed-cell insulation in mitigating noise infiltration.

In conclusion, closed-cell insulation emerges as a highly effective solution for soundproofing applications, offering superior acoustic performance and thermal insulation properties. Its dense composition and sealed-cell structure make it a preferred choice for creating peaceful and comfortable indoor environments, free from unwanted noise disturbances. By understanding its properties, applications, and real-world performance, architects, builders, and homeowners can harness the power of closed-cell insulation to create spaces that promote tranquility, productivity, and well-being.

Uncovering the Hidden Threat: Typhus Outbreak Strikes LA After 30 Years

Introduction to the Typhus Outbreak in Los Angeles Los Angeles, a vibrant city known for its glitz and glamour, is now facing a hidden threat that has taken everyone by surprise – a typhus outbreak. After three decades of relative calm, the city is grappling with a resurgence of this dangerous bacterial infection. As the number of cases continues to rise, it is crucial to understand the causes,…

"We have to take what useful work remains and transform it into a pleasing variety of game-like and craft-like pastimes, indistinguishable from other pleasurable pastimes except that they happen to yield useful end-products. Surely that shouldn’t make them less enticing to do. Then all the artificial barriers of power and property could come down. Creation could become recreation. And we could all stop being afraid of each other.

I don’t suggest that most work is salvageable in this way. But then most work isn’t worth trying to save. Only a small and diminishing fraction of work serves any useful purpose independent of the defense and reproduction of the work-system and its political and legal appendages. Thirty years ago, Paul and Percival Goodman estimated that just five percent of the work then being done—presumably the figure, if accurate, is lower now—would satisfy our minimal needs for food, clothing and shelter. Theirs was only an educated guess but the main point is quite clear: directly or indirectly, most work serves the unproductive purposes of commerce or social control. Right off the bat we can liberate tens of millions of salesmen, soldiers, managers, cops, stockbrokers, clergymen, bankers, lawyers, teachers, landlords, security guards, ad-men and everyone who works for them. There is a snowball effect since every time you idle some bigshot you liberate his flunkies and underlings also. Thus the economy implodes.

Forty percent of the workforce are white-collar workers, most of whom have some of the most tedious and idiotic jobs ever concocted. Entire industries, insurance and banking and real estate for instance, consist of nothing but useless paper-shuffling. It is no accident that the “tertiary sector,” the service sector, is growing while the “secondary sector” (industry) stagnates and the “primary sector” (agriculture) nearly disappears. Because work is unnecessary except to those whose power it secures, workers are shifted from relatively useful to relatively useless occupations as a measure to ensure public order. Anything is better than nothing. That’s why you can’t go home just because you finish early. They want your time, enough of it to make you theirs, even if they have no use for most of it. Otherwise why hasn’t the average work week gone down by more than a few minutes in the last sixty years?

Next we can take a meat-cleaver to production work itself. No more war production, nuclear power, junk food, feminine hygiene deodorant—and above all, no more auto industry to speak of. An occasional Stanley Steamer or Model T might be all right, but the auto-eroticism on which such pest-holes as Detroit and Los Angeles depend is out of the question. Already, without even trying, we’ve virtually solved the energy crisis, the environmental crisis and assorted other insoluble social problems.

Finally, we must do away with far and away the largest occupation, the one with the longest hours, the lowest pay and some of the most tedious tasks around. I refer to housewives doing housework and child-rearing. By abolishing wage-labor and achieving full unemployment we undermine the sexual division of labor. The nuclear family as we know it is an inevitable adaptation to the division of labor imposed by modern wage-work. Like it or not, as things have been for the last century or two it is economically rational for the man to bring home the bacon, for the woman to do the shitwork and provide him with a haven in a heartless world, and for the children to be marched off to youth concentration camps called “schools,” primarily to keep them out of Mom’s hair but still under control, but incidentally to acquire the habits of obedience and punctuality so necessary for workers. If you would be rid of patriarchy, get rid of the nuclear family whose unpaid “shadow work,” as Ivan Illich says, makes possible the work-system that makes it necessary. Bound up with this no-nukes strategy is the abolition of childhood and the closing of the schools. There are more full-time students than full-time workers in this country. We need children as teachers, not students. They have a lot to contribute to the ludic revolution because they’re better at playing than grown-ups are. Adults and children are not identical but they will become equal through interdependence. Only play can bridge the generation gap." -Bob Black, The Abolition of Work

So, this was me and my co-workers last week. CAL-HR tried to stop us, but since we haven't had a contract for 3 years, and have formally been declared at an impasse, this was declared a legal work stoppage. I think if they were bargaining "in good faith" there would have been a contract long before this. As it is, they keep coming back with the same terms.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/2023/11/15/california-scientists-strike/ae3487fc-8424-11ee-924c-6e6807155e36_story.html

Thousands of California scientists strike over stalled contract talks

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Thousands of scientists who work for California began a rolling three-day strike Wednesday — the first walkout by a state civil service union.

Members of the California Association of Professional Scientists marched under cloudy skies in Sacramento to protest lack of progress in contract talks. The walkout will spread to Los Angeles, Oakland and other cities on Thursday and Friday.

The union represents about 5,200 members who work in more than 50 state departments and deal with issues ranging from air pollution and toxic waste control to earthquake hazards and agricultural pests, according to its website.

Members have been without a contract since 2020 despite bargaining and mediation. The membership rejected a tentative agreement earlier this year. Another state mediation session is planned for Nov. 28.

It is the first time that state workers have struck since civil servants won collective bargaining rights in 1977, The Sacramento Bee reported.

“Nobody wants to be on strike, and nobody wants to be the first,” the union’s president, Jacqueline Tkac, told the Bee. “But it feels really inspiring to know that we have people that are so fired up about our situation that they’re willing to go out on strike for the first time and take that risk.”

Last week, the California Department of Human Resources filed a complaint of unfair labor practices against the union in an attempt to prevent the strike.

On Wednesday, the department said it was disappointed by the strike and that the state continues to bargain “in good faith.”

The state “will continue to work with CAPS to achieve a fair successor agreement as we have with other bargaining units,” department spokesperson Camille Travis said in an email.

The union’s main concern is higher wages. It says state scientists are paid 40% to 60% less than “comparable positions who have the same level of responsibility and do similar or identical work.”

We’re finally reckoning with our expensive subscription habits.

For two straight quarters, cancellations have outpaced new subscriptions for digital memberships, food-of-the-month clubs and a host of other purchases, according to personal finance app Rocket Money. Streaming services have been particularly impacted, with cancellations for Netflix, Hulu and HBO Max and others up 49% in 2022 from the previous year, according to subscriber-measurement firm Antenna.

“People are taking stock of their subscriptions and trying not to make the same mistakes they made in 2022 given that budgets are getting a lot tighter,” said Courtney Alev, consumer financial advocate at Credit Karma.

The decision to cancel had been building up for some time, financial analysts said. Even though inflation cooled last month to its lowest level in nearly two years, budgets continue to be squeezed by higher prices.

About a third of respondents to a December Credit Karma survey said their biggest financial mistake last year was paying for services they never used. Americans were also paying about $133 more than the $86 they thought they were paying for subscriptions each month, according to a 2022 survey from market research firm C+R Research.

Retiree John Ritzinger, 72 years old, said canceling subscriptions he never used would spare him needing to penny pinch at the grocery store.

First to go was the satellite radio in two cars he never drove, saving him $45 a month. Next, the MotorTrend magazines that lived in an unread stack on the coffee table and a $1,000 annual, dining-only membership to his local Dayton, Ohio, country club in favor of ordinary restaurants. Stopping the $750-a-year pest control service was more of a debate with his wife.

“But if we get a bad enough infestation I figure we just burn the house down anyway,” he joked.

He’s putting off his call with the cable company to deactivate the land line he always ignores and downgrade his package until he’s socked away enough patience for an hourslong customer service call.

Taking on subscription overload

A new proposal from the Federal Trade Commission could make it simpler to break up with your subscriptions. The consumer watchdog wants to require merchants to make it as easy for customers to cancel as it is to sign up, often with just a single click.

Apps that help people take stock of their recurring payments such as Rocket Money and ScribeUp aren’t worried a new FTC rule will cut into their user base.

Over the past year about 70,000 people have downloaded ScribeUp, a new service that provides a credit card number to use only for recurring payments.

Chief commercial officer Erica Chiang said she wanted to give people a way to automatically opt-in, rather than out, of renewals after having to jump through hoops to cancel subscriptions as a consumer. The card will automatically cancel subscriptions on a user’s behalf if she doesn’t actively choose to continue.

At one point, Ms. Chiang said she had to travel from Los Angeles to New York to end a monthly gym membership after learning she could only cancel in-person at the gym where she signed up.

When Dylan Kenney conducted an audit of his spending after too many months in a row of wondering where his paycheck was going and hoping to save up for a house, he realized he was somehow paying for two separate Amazon Prime accounts.

Though he’s not trying to recoup the money he lost, he did save $270 a month by combining streaming services with his partner and canceling his weekly HelloFresh meal box, which he said had him paying $150 a month more for groceries than going to the store himself.

“I wasn’t really thinking of all the minor charges coming out of my account every month,” said the 27-year-old, who works for an aviation consulting firm in Arlington, Va.

One ScribeUp user, 46-year-old LaKisha Mosley, paid for a subscription to health club aggregator ClassPass for over four years without realizing it, adding up to over $5,000.

“I can count on one hand the amount of times I actually logged in,” she said.

Ms. Mosley said she wasn’t able to get the money back, and that she expected ClassPass to let her know when her subscription was coming up for renewal, which never happened. She’s heartened, however, to see more companies starting to send alerts before a charge comes up.

“When members sign up for ClassPass, they are notified that their memberships automatically renew on the same day each month,” a company spokeswoman said, adding that ClassPass sends reminders when members haven’t used their accounts to book classes.

Companies rethink subscriptions

Some companies are shifting their business model to meet changing consumer feelings about subscriptions.

Among them is Bark, which was founded in 2011 as a monthly box of dog treats and toys and has since expanded to sell a la carte. The company recently laid off 12% of its staff and said it would invest more in non-subscription products.

“These are always difficult decisions, however, we believe that it was the right direction for the business, and it better aligns our cost structure with the current economic environment and allows us to better focus on our highest priorities, which are profitability and growing our consumables business,” Chief Executive Matt Meeker said in an emailed statement to The Wall Street Journal

HelloFresh said on its most recent earnings call that it expects its number of active customers to decline in the first half of 2023, after dropping to 7.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from 8 million in the third quarter.

Evanston, Ill., restaurant Soul & Smoke launched a meat of the month box in 2020, but recently made the decision to discontinue the offering amid waning interest.

“It made more sense to get rid of it and focus on the other things we were doing,” said co-owner Heather Bublick, pointing to a new bricks-and-mortar location and live events.
