Building acoustics

Contact information

Acoustics in buildings is an important consideration in the design and layout of buildings. Good acoustics prevents noise pollution, creates a quiet environment in which people can concentrate, and contributes to optimal speech intelligibility. This is particularly important in offices, schools, healthcare institutions, and homes.

Various aspects play a role in building acoustics:

  • External sound insulation: protection against outside noise, such as traffic, industry, or ambient noise.
  • Internal sound insulation: limiting sound transmission between different rooms within a building.
  • Room acoustics: the way sound behaves within a room, with regard to reverberation and intelligibility.
  • Installation noise: limiting noise from technical installations, such as ventilation systems, pipes, or elevators.

 

Advice on building acoustics focuses, among other things, on the choice of architectural structures, the use of suitable finishing materials, and the acoustic optimization of technical installations. By paying attention to these aspects at an early stage, a comfortable, functional, and pleasant living and working environment can be achieved.
