ACOUSTICS IN BUILDINGS
One of the aims of the newly passed Spanish Building Technical Code (CTE), where acoustics are concerned, is the protection against noise (CTE DB-HR), which constitutes a control of the basic quality requirements in buildings in Spain.
In all cases and countries, the requirements set out in statutes, regulations, codes and by-laws, concerning acoustics.
It is fundamental that the acoustic consultant is present in the four main phases:
- PRELIMINARY STUDY – Environmental Impact Survey
- Basic PROJECT and fulfilment
- On site TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
- Quality CONTROL and ACOUSTIC CERTIFICATION
Our specialised equipment, technical personnel, and collaboration with the independent laboratory LABQUEZAR®, enables us to perform prediction surveys and acoustic testing in areas with acoustic insulation and conditioning in different kinds of buildings:
- Prediction survey for INSULATION SOLUTIONS (UNE-EN 12354)
- Projects, surveys and SIMULATIONS of acoustic conditioning in public buildings (Reverberation time monitoring)
- Intelligibility, noise, insulation, impact and vibrations surveys
- Risk analysis, compared with alternatives
- Reports and INSPECTIONS regarding compliance with regulations
- Acoustic quality control in the building on site
- Acoustic CERTIFICATION
All tests and surveys are carried out in accordance with the ISO and UNE-EN regulated procedures corresponding to each type of test, and the results are assessed on the basis of prevailing regulations.
