The rules for the acoustic design of public buildings came into force
The new code of rules 415.1325800.2018 “Public buildings. Acoustic design rules". The norms of the document are aimed at providing optimal acoustic conditions in indoor sports and entertainment facilities of large capacity. In addition, the rules set out the requirements for the main architectural and construction parameters of the halls, which determine their acoustics, for sound insulation from penetrating noises, as well as recommendations for calculating and developing noise protection measures. The document specifies the acoustic criteria for evaluating the halls, the requirements for the design documentation for the sections “Acoustics”, “Noise protection” and “Electro-acoustics”, the requirements for the main characteristics of the sound system for sports halls. The document was developed by the team of the Research Institute of Building Physics of the Russian Academy of Architectural and Construction Sciences (RAACS). The set of rules passed the examination of the Technical Committee for Standardization TC 465 "Construction".
