| Zusammenfassung | Building acoustics are an essential factor for maintaining our comfort and health and that of people around us. In many countries, sound insulation is considered a matter of public interest and control. Lack of sound insulation can result in immense cost for health. Whenever possible, acoustics should be considered during the early design stage of buildings, as subsequent modifications are much more costly. The acoustical design of buildings comprises several steps: - characterization of acoustical performance of building elements through laboratory measurements; - prediction of acoustical performance when combining such elements; and - measurements in situ to control the achieved sound insulation. |
