BB93 Acoustic Survey | Noise Survey for Schools
Researchh has shown that noise within and around schools can have a profound and adverse impact on pupils' learning and staff performance. 1st July 2003 brought about changes to the design and construction of schools. Initially introduced as a guidance document Building Bulletin 93 (Part E4 of Building Regulations 2000, 2003 Edition BB93) subsequently became mandatory and now directly replaces Part A of the DfES (now DCSF) Building Bulletin 87.
BB93 is a guidance
document relating to Acoustic Treatments for School Building
Design. It sets-out in detail the acoustical design
targets for schools and it is now mandatory for all new
schemes to comply with its requirements as part of the Building
Control’s inspections. Requirements cover building envelope
design, glazing specification, reverberation limits and speech
transmission.
The acoustical design of
building spaces is a major part of delivering a succsessful
project. Impact Acoustics can advise on suitable
acoustical criteria for offices, schools and
performance spaces. Suitable reverberation time and speech
intelligibility targets can be recommended along with appropriate
design advice to achieve those targets.
BB93 assists with the integration into schools of pupils with special needs and specify appropriate design standards and criteria for these cases.
Impact Acoustics can help you make the BB93 noise survey / noise assessment run smoothly by taking care of all acoustic and noise related matters including liaising with the Architect to also ensure that the design meets requirements.
To find out more or recieve a quotation please contact Impact Acoustics.
The stages in the BB93 requirements which we can assist are:
A complete and detailed drawing review,
providing reccomendations where required.
Initial baseline noise assessment provided by
measurement.
Construction and internal design
service.
Build Supervision and site
inspections.
Post construction commission Testing.
