Description

The verification of the sound insulation of façades and individual building elements, such as windows, is typically carried out in accordance with ÖNORM EN ISO 16283-3. However, in the presence of traffic noise or in the case of complex façade structures, such measurements are often difficult and require considerable effort.This paper therefore presents an adapted measurement method based on sound intensity, following the principles of ÖNORM EN ISO 15186-2. The two methods are compared in terms of their applicability and accuracy.Furthermore, specific challenges associated with large rooms and with building elements exhibiting high sound insulation values are discussed.
