Building Envelope Sound Installation

With brown field and infill sites continuing to be used for development, there has never been a greater need to control environmental noise through façade performance. The general public is increasingly aware of the adverse effects of prevailing noise, as are occupiers in large buildings who want maximum comfort despite living in close proximity.

Not surprisingly Housing Associations and Local Authorities are under increasing pressure to make sure housing passes specific performance standards as dictated by the Building Regulations. Click here to read Building Regulations Approved Document.

We Stop Traffic

Noise Solutions use innovative computer prediction techniques to determine the effects of internal or external noise breakout through the façade of a building. We advise on how the internal fabric of the building should be constructed to achieve the overall design criteria.

Sound Insulation

Nowadays with adjacent areas in buildings being subject to continual assessments to ensure suitable levels of comfort for occupiers, sound insulation is an important factor in the architectural process.

We Make Peace

Noise Solutions use bespoke software packages that utilise the latest prediction methods (including BS12354), to quantify noise transmissions between adjoining spaces. We take into account all sound paths — including direct, indirect and flanking.

We then evaluate the performance of individual partitions or separating constructions using proprietary applications such as Insul. Drawing on our internal resources we make detailed recommendations with regards to the construction and detailing of the separating and flanking elements, to ensure your project objectives are being met.

Room Acoustics

Whether it is a public, commercial or industrial building, Noise Solutions can advise on all aspects of room design, so that acoustic conditions are appropriate for the intended use.

We Make Room

Advising on room dimension specifications, shape and finishes, we make sure the required reverberation times and sound propagation characteristics are achieved. We also take speech intelligibility tests in rooms from an objective or subjective perspective, in accordance with the relevant standards. Finally we prepare schedules that recommend the necessary changes to room finishes, absorption coefficients and appropriate constructional materials, so they are in keeping with sound insulation values.

As with our Building Service Acoustics service we prepare our schedules for ease of use. Click here to find out more.
