The Noise Of A Sound Floor Insulation That Reduces Noise From Outside

Task 3: (a) Discuss how and why the office staff might feel uncomfortable if the actual values were outside the range of acceptable values identified in Task 1. The staff may feel uncomfortable with the heat if it is outside the recommended values which are 21-23°C (69-73°F).The reason for this is that if they are too warm when working in an office they may feel that they are beginning to sweat more which can make it difficult for them to concentrate when carrying out their work because they are

Abstract Noise is responsible for hidden and or obvious damages. Hearing loss and tinnitus greatly depend on the level of sound (dB) and duration of sound . Short-duration sound of decent intensity primarily a gunshot or explosion will not be described because they are not currently encountered in our normal urban environment. Introduction Noise pollution is a type of pollution that doesn’t get a lot of attention because many people don’t see

Environmental factors There are different environmental factors that need to be considered in any sustainable building design. The main objectives of an environmental friendly design are to reduce or avoid the depletion of the critical environmental resource including raw materials, water, and energy (Hawkes, 2013). Furthermore, the construction designs should be able to prevent environmental degradation negative impact on the environment that may be due to the infrastructure or the facilities

The Effects of Population Density and Noise Buffy Welch October 22, 2012 PSY/ 460 Jennifer McBlaine Population density and noise has an effect on individuals in many different ways. When an individual’s privacy, territory, personal space has been infringed upon by another or the chronic to short-term noise has an effect on an individual that ranges from simple annoyance to severe intrusive anxiety- producing illness (Straub, 2007). As the population density increases every year, an individual

the issues on sound penetration. I feel each style has flaws even though while constructing it, designing it, there might not be but when once users/occupants come back to measure in step with their nature or behaviour, there are some flaws in the look the designer, architects, planners have created like Jonathan Hill has aforementioned, "The user is an important

double skin facade to construct it. After having some research, we found that double skin facade is more suitable for commercial building. Double skin facade is a system consisting of two glass skins that let the air flow and intermediate cavity. Apart from the type of ventilation inside the cavity, the origin and destination of the air can differ depending mostly on climatic conditions, the use, the location, the occupational hours of the building and the HVAC strategy. The idea of double skin facade

a look at and discuss an old railway station. I hope to change this railway station into a small office block with a small spar shop also in the building. Now I will begin and work through the assignment always bearing in mind the changes required from railway station to retail & office. The railway station is very old and is hard to heat, so there will have to be a lot of work done to make the building a comfortable space for people to work. There is also not great lighting in the area so I will
