Lecture: Predicting sound levels generated on site by structure-borne sound sources in buildings
Author(s): Villot Michel
Summary:
A method predicting sound levels generated on site by structure-borne sound sources in buildings, and valid for any source-receiver conditions and for any type of construction, lightweight (type B) or heavyweight (type A), is being standardized within CEN TC126 WG2; the standard will be published, probably in 2019 as new version of EN 12354-5. Predictions are made from new power based input quantities defined in the newly revised measurement standards EN 15657 (Laboratory characterization of service equipment) and EN ISO 10848-1 to -4 (Laboratory and field measurement of flanking transmissions). This paper explains the different approaches used, which depend on the source-receiver conditions and the type of construction, and describes the new quantities defined for characterizing sources and receivers (building elements) when dealing with service equipment. The potential advantages of this power-based method are then briefly discussed.
