Author: Dominic KampshoffThis title conveys to the reader a thorough understanding of sound protection requirements in the design and construction of a building. The basics of acou stics are explained, including basic terms of physics, how sound is generated and propagated, and how sound is perceived. This is followed by an explanation of how sound emissions are assessed and what sound-reducing and design options are available to the designer. Sound protection may even play an important role at the design stage of a project, because the orientation of a building and its plan layout may influence it. Important factors to be taken into account are noise impacting on the building from the outside and noise generated by people and technical equipment inside the building. ISBN 9783035621037.
