Abstract
1. Origin of the study
This study establishes the building sound insulation performance standards and
revises sound insulation clauses of building technology regulation. We measure sound
environment of dwelling houses and schools, then diagnosed and estimated. We get the
trend of sound insulation performance of building in Taiwan and suggest to revises sound
insulation clauses on building technology regulation.
2. Methods and procedure of the study
The subjects of research were dwelling houses and schools, and we discussed the
effective of sound environment with difference conditions of position, environment and
structure. This study accumulated a huge mass of data of building sound environment for
Taiwan and compared the results of measurement with building codes of various countries.
We proposed sound insulation performance standards and revised sound insulation
clauses of building technology regulation.
3. Important findings
This study accomplished measurement of sound environment on dwelling houses
and schools, and revised sound insulation clauses of building technology regulation. The
following important findings are obtained:
(1) The sound environment of dwellings building is accorded the building code and
school’s building is designed from guidelines of sound environment.
(2) This study revised the sound insulation clauses of building technology regulation.
We convened several meetings of industrial, official and academic that provided
suggestion on the sound insulation standards of building.
(3) The results showed the wall between classrooms insulation was poor that was due to
lateral sound communication. The floors impact sound performances of school floors
were also poor. The reverberation time was too long that due to absorption of the
classroom was not enough. We revised the sound insulation performance and
reverberation time standards on the school building.
4. Suggestions
This study suggests to executing the sound insulation clauses of building technology
regulation that could promote sound environment quality. ：For immediate strategies
Sponsor: Construction and Planning Agency, Ministry of the Interior
Organizer: Architecture and Building Research Institute, Ministry of the Interior
Explanation: We convened several meetings of industrial, official and academic that
provided suggestion on the sound insulation standards of building and obtained
concrete conclusions. So suggests to executing the sound insulation clauses of
building technology regulation.
This study suggests to continuing measurement of sound insulation performance on
various floor structures that could be quote for the design of floor. ：For long-term
strategies
Sponsor: Architecture and Building Research Institute, Ministry of the Interior
Organizer: Without
Explanation: This study increased the rule of floor impact sound in the sound
insulation clauses of building technology regulation. We assure the sound insulation
codes could be executed and suggest to continuing measurement of sound insulation
performance on various floor structures.
