December 17: Transportation Noise Control In Residential Buildings with Scott Harvey from Phoenix Noise and Vibration (1 AIA LU | HSW credit)
In urban and suburban environments, transportation noise continually impacts residential properties 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This applies to not only major sources such as interstate highways, airports, and railways but to secondary streets in urban environments as well, where buildings crowd closely to busy roadways. Understanding the fundamentals of noise, noise regulations, building shell design, and implementation are key to creating quiet living spaces in close proximity to major and “minor” transportation noise sources.
Learning Objectives:
1: Define basic noise metrics
2: Understand local transportation noise regulations
3: Identify primary building shell noise control parameters
4: Incorporate fundamental noise control techniques in building design
