China Good Housing Building Sound Insulation Technology Summit Launched
“China Good Housing Building Sound Insulation Technology Summit” Launched
CAAF 2026 Conference Preview
The CAAF China Acoustics Industry Expo 2026 (CAAF 2026) will take place from May 11–13, 2026, at the Nanhai International Convention & Exhibition Center in Foshan, China.
As one of the most influential events in the Chinese acoustics industry, the exhibition will host a series of high-level forums and technical conferences. Among them, the China Good Housing Building Sound Insulation Technology Summit will be held on May 12, 2026, bringing together leading experts and decision-makers in the architectural acoustics sector.
The summit is jointly organized with authoritative institutions including national research institutes, real estate industry associations, and architectural design institutes, creating a high-level platform for exploring the future of building sound insulation technologies and quiet living environments.
Policy Background: Quiet Housing Becomes a New Industry Standard
On May 1, 2025, China officially implemented the Residential Project Code, a national regulation requiring 100% sound insulation performance testing for newly built residential buildings.
The test results must now be included in the housing quality assurance documentation, marking a major step toward improving residential acoustic comfort.
Under the dual drivers of government policy and consumer demand for higher-quality living environments, the concept of “quiet and comfortable housing” is rapidly evolving from an industry concept into a new market standard.
The China Good Housing Building Sound Insulation Technology Summit aims to respond to this industry shift by bringing together experts to explore the latest developments in acoustic design, materials, testing standards, and construction technologies.
Target Participants
The summit will attract a wide range of professionals involved in residential construction and acoustic technology, including:
Decision makers and technical leaders from real estate development companies
Chief engineers and designers from architectural design institutes
Experts from acoustic consulting firms
R&D and marketing leaders from acoustic materials and building materials companies
Scholars from research institutes and universities
Experts from testing and certification organizations
The event will also welcome professionals dedicated to high-quality housing and improved building environments.
Key Topics: Exploring the Future of Building Sound Insulation
The summit will focus on critical topics related to the development of quiet residential buildings, covering policy interpretation, technology innovation, and practical engineering applications.
1. Interpretation of the Residential Project Code Sound Insulation Requirements
With the mandatory implementation of the Residential Project Code, stricter standards have been introduced for residential sound insulation.
Experts involved in drafting the regulation will explain:
Airborne sound insulation for partition walls
Impact sound insulation for floor slabs
Compliance strategies for design and testing
These insights will help developers and design institutes meet regulatory requirements while improving housing quality.
2. Innovation in Floor Impact Sound Insulation Technology
Noise from footsteps and falling objects in upper-floor apartments remains one of the most common residential complaints.
This session will explore technologies such as:
Acoustic floor mats
Floating floor systems
Advanced structural sound insulation methods
Speakers will also share real project cases and performance comparisons to support design selection and engineering implementation.
3. Balancing Ventilation and Noise Control with Acoustic Metamaterials
Researchers have recently developed new acoustic metamaterials based on the principle of dual symmetry, capable of achieving excellent sound absorption while maintaining ventilation.
These materials can achieve an average sound absorption coefficient exceeding 86% in the 300–6000 Hz range, offering new possibilities for ventilated building facades with noise reduction capability.
4. Breakthroughs in Low-Frequency Noise Control
Low-frequency noise from traffic systems, elevators, pumps, and mechanical equipment is particularly difficult to control using traditional acoustic materials.
New research using triangular fractal acoustic metamaterials has demonstrated the ability to achieve efficient low-frequency absorption with structures only 50 mm thick.
This session will explore their potential applications in:
Building sound insulation
Equipment noise control
Urban acoustic environments
5. Development of Green Acoustic Materials
As sustainable architecture becomes increasingly important, new eco-friendly acoustic materials are emerging.
Research shows that recycled fiber insulation boards can achieve:
Porosity above 85%
Mid-to-high frequency absorption coefficients exceeding 0.8
Experts will discuss the development trends, certification standards, and market opportunities for green acoustic materials in modern construction.
6. Integrated Sound Insulation Systems for Prefabricated Interior Construction
The city of Foshan has introduced guidelines requiring 100% prefabricated interior construction in high-quality housing projects.
This session will explore how integrated systems such as:
Prefabricated acoustic wall panels
Integrated acoustic ceiling systems
Modular interior sound insulation solutions
can balance industrial construction efficiency and acoustic performance.
Industry experts from prefabricated construction and acoustic consulting sectors will discuss practical implementation strategies.
Industry Dialogue and Business Collaboration
In addition to technical presentations, the summit will also feature several interactive sessions designed to strengthen collaboration across the industry.
High-Level Panel Discussion
Industry leaders from real estate companies, architectural design institutes, and acoustic materials manufacturers will discuss strategies for improving acoustic performance while controlling project costs.
Business Matchmaking Sessions
Developers, design institutes, and acoustic technology providers will participate in one-on-one meetings to promote real project collaboration and technology adoption.
Technical Exhibition
Running alongside the summit, the CAAF Architectural Acoustics Exhibition will feature more than 200 acoustic companies, showcasing:
Sound insulation materials
Acoustic testing equipment
Acoustic metamaterials
Noise control technologies
