New Acoustic Classification Scheme for Residential Buildings in Poland
Acoustic quality of a dwelling plays a pivotal role in its overall ranking. Dwelling, from a customer and final user view point, is a basic, but very expensive product so its properties should be well defined and customized to individual needs and expectations. Besides, the acoustic performance of a building should be adjusted to its general class, whereas in practice luxury apartments with poor acoustics are quite frequent. Since acoustic quality as a whole depends on different parameters, there is a need for an effective assessment tool transforming them into a single number quantity. The paper presents a new acoustic classification scheme for multifamily buildings in Poland. It takes into account all basic acoustic factors that contribute to the holistic evaluation of a flat. Single number indicators selected for the assessment of airborne and impact sound insulation, noise level and reverberant conditions, as well as their threshold values are discussed. They should be well balanced and harmonized for each building class. As the acoustical characteristics of the residential environment depend on a building itself and also on conditions prevailing in its surroundings, the next step is to develop an acoustic categorization for residential areas.
