SOUNDPATHS AGREEMENT AND LICENCE
The National Research Council's (NRC) soundPATHS web application is a prediction
tool for the calculation of direct and flanking sound transmission between
adjacent rooms. The software uses the calculation procedure outlined in the 2015
edition of the National Building Code of Canada.
The soundPATHS application and related publications are derivatives of a series
of industry-sponsored research projects conducted at the NRC. The focus and
construction details for each phase were decided by a Special Interest Group of
technical representatives from each of the supporting partners.
