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.
