protection in building construction
Sound protection verifications according to the German guideline "DIN 4109,
"Schallschutz im Hochbau, Anforderungen und Nachweise", November 1989"
using computer models for verification of required sound insulation for very difficult
cases of airborne and impact noise in building construction.
This is performed for determination of required
sound insulation factors for protection from outdoor noise caused by traffic. Outdoor
sound levels are determined according to noise protection regulations for roads, RLS-90,
and/or regulations for determination of sound immission from railroad traffic (Schall 03)
version 1990 and determination of sound insulation factors according to VDI-regulation
2719, "Schalldämmung von Fenstern und deren Zusatzeinrichtungen ", as of August
1987.
Calculation of sound reduction ratings according to current regulations. |
 |
Calculation of acoustic characteristics of buildings.
Individual acoustical consulting for planning, sanitation, and change of use of existing
buildings.
Acoustic measurements in construction (airborne and impact sound insulation for quality
assurance, appraisal of current state of building substance and preservation of evidence.
Consulting to the state of the art
According to VDI guideline 4100 Noise control in dwellings
Criteria for planning and assessment and DIN 4109-10 " Sound protection
in building construction, suggestions for enhanced noise insulation in dwellings "
Thermal insulation
We prepare verifications of thermal insulation for buildings and building components in
accordance with regulation DIN 4108.
| Computerized simulation of buildings for solar
and regenerative energy usage (materials, building geometry and orientation, appropriate
optimization of buildings taking into consideration economic aspects).
|
 |
Moisture protection
Evaluation and consulting for prevention, localizing and elimination of moisture damages.
Determination of the cause for moisture damages and suggestions for improvement. Computer
modeling (finite element method,
Heat transfer, etc) for detailed examination of building constructions.
Acoustics
 |
Consulting and planning in architectural
acoustics for concert and multiuse, halls, schools, kindergarten, and industrial
facilities.
Acoustic engineering in buildings with multiple usage (industrial, residential,
etc).
|
We provide guidance regarding the selection of acoustically efficient materials and the
development of performance specifications.
