IMPACT SOUND TRANSMISSION- A CHALLENGE IN FUTURE • MORE FOCUS ON ACCESSIBLE SOLUTIONS • MOST CONSTRUCTIONS CAN NOT SATISFAY COMING NEW REQUIREMENTS • SOUND TRANSMISSION FROM STAIRS TO NEIGHBOUR ROOMS • REDUCED QUALITY OF THE FLAT/BUILDING 3
TRANSMISSION FROM CONCRETE STAIRS WITHOUT SOUND REDUCING EFFORTS 4
65 -70* dB = Normal values in situ build stair/landing constructions • ( *= similar to a normal conversation ) 5
Max allowable values for weighted impact sound pressure levels for living houses (in Norway) 6
Max allowable values for weighted impact sound pressure levels(ex. Building regulations in Norway/ Norwegian Standard NS 8175; Class C- buildingsClass C buildings are the most common ( = value for class B)) • Livingroom 53 dB (48 dB for class B) • School 58 dB • Hospital 58 dB • Hotel 58 dB • Meeting room 58 dB • Office 63 dB 7
SOLUTIONS FOR IMPACT SOUND REDUCTION • We have developed products suitable together with our • TSS and RVK units. • These solutions are reducing the impact sound far • below the limits in the building standards 9
SINTEF* BUILDING AND INFRASTRUCTURE HAVE IN 2007 TESTED OUR SOLUTIONS • Testing of impact sound transmission in two new buildings, and one existing office building in Oslo • Several solutions with TSS and RVK were tested • * = SINTEF is the largest independent research organiztaion in Scandinavia. 10
