Noise in a home or workplace is a troublesome factor in life, posing a threat to health and causing a significant reduction in the comfort of staying in rooms exposed to noise. The basic condition for protecting users from noise is properly designed and constructed building partitions.
Partitions must meet the acoustic parameters specified in the PN-87/B-02151/02 standard. Such a partition usually consists of a brick part and elements such as windows, doors, electrical boxes, etc. Following these recommendations will help keep noise to a minimum.

Despite the use of high-quality materials, is there still noise?
The use of the best materials cannot guarantee the expected sound insulation effect if there are leaks in the partition connections. These are, for example, gaps in the connections, imprecise attachment of elements, or assembly errors. In such cases, we also recommend performing a thermal imaging test, which will help locate any leaks through which noise can be transmitted.

What is documentation needed for?
At the stage of putting the building into use, it is worth performing acoustic insulation tests of partitions, the results of which will be supported by documentation. This will help ensure appropriate acoustic comfort for users, and also minimize the risk of potential claims, as well as incurring costs related to failure to meet the required acoustic parameters. This is also extremely helpful at the stage of the project itself, because even small changes (e.g. a different source location) allow for large savings and often eliminate the need to use additional, expensive acoustic protection.
How can TERMOCENT help you?
– Acoustic analyses and research are conducted by specialists with a Ph.D. in vibroacoustics and acoustics. We conduct research based on, among others, BREEAM INC 2013 HEA05a or LEED certification standards. For office and commercial facilities, our offer includes:
– Acoustic measurements and analyses at the investment site to determine the insulation of building partitions from airborne sounds. In accordance with the PN-EN ISO 16283-1:2014 and PN-EN ISO 717-1:2013-08 standards
– Measurements of permissible sound level values inside the room – in accordance with the PN-B-02151-02:1987 standard
The service is outside the scope of accreditation.
For demanding users, we offer the preparation of acoustic reports containing acoustic requirements regarding permissible noise levels and acoustic parameters of internal and external partitions, as well as determining acoustic conditions, as well as permissible reverberation time, or checking noise emission to the environment. Based on the results obtained, we create an acoustic model of rooms and computer simulations of sound propagation in the interiors of rooms. Determination of necessary properties of sound systems. The concept of protection against sounds coming from ventilation and air conditioning systems.
