See below how Metal ceilings by Gabelex can contribute to BREEAM criteria: HEA 05 Acoustic performance
Key contribution

Self-declaration based on test lab can be provided by Gabelex Sales Team.
Aim
To ensure the building's acoustic performance, including sound insulation meets the appropriate standards for its purpose.
Requirement summary
All unoccupied spaces must comply with defined indoor ambient noise level (either national regulation, or good practice standards, or BREEAM levels). The ambient noise is measured on site by a suitably qualified acoustician to ensure that the relevant spaces achieve the required levels. The sound insulation between “acoustically sensitive rooms” (offices, meeting rooms, rooms used for public speaking or seminars …) and other occupied areas comply with the privacy index.
For rooms/areas used for speech, a reverberation time level has to be respected
