By Gary Madaras Suspended acoustic ceilings are mainstream inside many types of buildings and can serve four main sound-related roles. Second, if the partitions between rooms do not extend full height, ceilings can be combined with lightweight plenum barriers to provide privacy from adjacent rooms on the same floor (B in Figure 1).

If I gaze into it longer I also see Revit 2015 R2 arrive in September (2014). It would be cool if they changed the dialog for ceiling plan view range orientation. That probably can be translated into " we'll probably see it in the next release ". If I grab my crystal ball and look back to last year I see a Autodesk Revit Sundial.

The recent innovation of integrating phase change material (PCM), a well-established technology, into ceiling panels has generated significant interest. Buildings with high thermal mass can passively cool and heat interior spaces, reducing the strain on mechanical HVAC systems and, in turn, decreasing energy consumption (Figure 1, page 10).

In typical residential construction, it has been common for decades to provide thermal protection at the top of the structure by insulating the top-floor ceiling. To meet energy code requirements, batt insulation is placed atop the gypsum board ceiling. If provided at all, the vapor barrier beneath the trusses is rarely airtight.

Low-slope and steep-slope unvented roof systems ( i.e. insulation and air barrier are applied directly to the underside of the roof deck) are common in applications where designers are seeking cost-effective and energy-efficient roof assemblies.
