IEQ-7 Note 1: Internal Noise Levels

IEQ-7 Note 1: Internal Noise Levels

Product is likely to assist in a project obtaining this credit by maintaining internal noise levels at an appropriate level when appropriately designed in combination with other materials/elements. One point is available for the design of areas that have noise levels between 'satisfactory' plus/minus 3 dB. The reverberation time must meet the requirements as laid out in the standard. These must be measured in accordance with AS/NZS 2107:2000.

One additional point is available where noise insulation between acoustically sensitive rooms and other spaces complies with Dw + LAeq,T greater than 75. This additional point is applicable where the non-industrial occupied space is more than 2.5% of the nominated area of the GLA up to 500m2, and where there is a non-industrial occupied space.

Product may contribute as an individual component, in combination with other suitable components, in achieving an Internal Noise Level that complies, in whole or in part, with the prescribed requirements.
