Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom BS EN 12354-5:2009 EN 12354-5:2009 (E) Introduction The estimation of sound levels due to service equipment in buildings is a complex task and structure-borne sources and transmission are not completely understood In addition there are large variations between different equipment and installations and an installation often results in both airborne and structure-borne sources This document contains a framework within which this subject can be treated The main part (Clause 4) describes general models for sound transmission and related sources for ducts, airborne sound through buildings and structure-borne sound through buildings For airborne and structure-borne sound transmission, parts and of EN 12354 are used wherever possible In Clause the application of these models to the different types of service equipment in buildings is addressed, specifying what is already known and available and what is not Informative annexes give additional information on various aspects, related to sources and their sound production as well as to specific aspects of sound transmission through buildings Wherever possible references are made to available handbooks, literature or ongoing standardization work Over the course of time some annexes or parts of them, especially those relating to the sound production by sources, can be deleted when appropriate standards become available For sound transmission through ducts there are standardized methods available to determine the sound power level of sources or the transmission loss of elements Various handbooks are widely used for these estimations For airborne sound transmission through buildings information exists about sources and transmission, but some aspects that are particularly relevant to service equipment are less well known, such as the effect of acoustic near-fields, non-diffuse spaces and excitation and transmission at low frequencies For these aspects some indications are given as to how they could be treated and also as an indicator for the direction of further research and future improvements to the models For structure-borne sound transmission similar solutions and problems exist as used for airborne sound However, here the appropriate methods to characterize the sources for structure-borne sound excitation are just starting to become available, largely due to standardization work started within CEN (TC126/WG7) Therefore in this document a choice has been made to use a general quantity in the models, called "the characteristic structure-borne sound power level" of sources, even though there is no practical measurement method available at the moment This allows the estimation models to have a general form that could be developed and refined in the future For some types of equipment indications are given in an informative annex as to how this quantity can be deduced or estimated from available and current measurement methods, such as the ones already developed within CEN The aim of this document is to provide a general basis for a practical approach to the estimation of sound levels due to service equipment It also clarifies the need for work on source characterisation with an indication of areas where further research work is needed BS EN 12354-5:2009 EN 12354-5:2009 (E) Scope This document describes calculation models to estimate the sound pressure level in buildings due to service equipment As for the field measurement document (EN ISO 16032) it covers sanitary installations, mechanical ventilation, heating and cooling, service equipment, lifts, rubbish chutes, boilers, blowers, pumps and other auxiliary service equipment, and motor driven car park doors, but can also be applied to others equipment attached to or installed in buildings The estimation is primarily based on measured data that characterises both the sources and the building constructions The models given are applicable to calculations in frequency bands This document describes the principles of the calculation models, lists the relevant quantities and defines its applications and restrictions It is intended for acoustical experts and provides the framework for the development of application documents and tools for other users in the field of building construction, taking into account local circumstances The calculation models described use the most general approach for engineering purposes, with a link to measurable quantities that specify the performance of building elements and equipment The known limitations of these calculation models are described in this document Users should, however, be aware that other calculation models also exist, each with their own applicability and restrictions The models are based on experience with predictions for dwellings and offices; they could also be used for other types of buildings provided the constructional dimensions are similar to those in dwellings Normative

machinery according to EN ISO 16032 can be expressed in sound pressure levels in various ways These quantities are determined in octave bands as maximum level using time weighting "S" or time weighting "F" or as equivalent level; in all cases normalization to a reference equivalent absorption area or standardization to a reference reverberation time can be applied The building performance is normally expressed in an A-weighted or C-weighted sound pressure level that is to be calculated from these octave band levels NOTE The octave band levels are also used to determine the so-called NC, NR or RC ratings, as described in many textbooks This is especially the case for buildings such as offices, commercial buildings, schools and performance spaces BS EN 12354-5:2009 EN 12354-5:2009 (E) 3.1.1 A-weighted maximum sound pressure level LA max, The A-weighted maximum sound pressure level in a room, due to the sound produced by equipment or machinery in the building NOTE This sound pressure level is obtained from the maximum sound pressure level in octave bands from 63 Hz to kHz using time weighting "S" (LAS max) or time weighting "F" (LAF max) The sound pressure levels in octave bands can also be normalized (LAS max, n, LAF max, n) or standardized (LAS max, nT, LAF max,nT) 3.1.2 A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level LAeq The equivalent A-weighted sound pressure level in a room, due to the sound produced by equipment or machinery in the building NOTE This sound pressure level is obtained from the equivalent sound pressure level in octave bands from 63 Hz to kHz The sound pressure levels in octave bands can also be normalized (LAeq, n) or standardized (LAeq, nT) 3.1.3 C-weighted maximum sound pressure level LC max, The C-weighted maximum sound pressure level in a room, due to the sound produced by equipment or machinery in the building NOTE This sound pressure level is obtained from the maximum sound pressure level in octave bands from 31,5 Hz to kHz using time weighting "S" (LCS max) or time weighting "F" (LCF max) The sound pressure levels in octave bands can also be normalized (LCS max, n, LCF max, n) or standardized (LCS max, nT, LCF max, nT) 3.1.4 C-weighted equivalent sound pressure level LCeq The equivalent C-weighted sound pressure level in a room, due to the sound produced by equipment or machinery in the building NOTE This sound pressure level is obtained from the equivalent sound pressure level in octave bands from 31,5 Hz to kHz The sound pressure levels in octave bands can also be normalized (LCeq, n) or standardized (LCeq, nT) 3.1.5 Relation between quantities The A-weighted and C-weighted quantities are all obtained from the sound pressure levels in octave bands These sound pressure levels (L) are depending on the applied time weighting, i.e "S", "F" or integration over a cycle (equivalent) The level with these various time weightings depends on the type of sound and cannot be deduced from each other in general Hence, the estimated octave band level will have to relate to the same time weighting as the specified quantity In all cases there is a direct relation between the sound pressure level (L), the normalized sound pressure level (Ln) and the standardized sound pressure level (LnT) in octave bands These relations are given by: L = Ln + 10 lg Aref dB A A T LnT = Ln + 10 lg ref ref dB 0,16 V where A is the equivalent absorption area in the room, in square metres; Aref is the reference equivalent absorption area (Aref = 10 m2), in square metre; Tref is the reference reverberation time (Tref = 0,5 s), in seconds; V is the volume of the room, in cubic metres (1a) (1b) BS EN 12354-5:2009 EN 12354-5:2009 (E) Key 50 m 200 m Figure G.1 — Waterhouse correction in dB, for two rectangular, low storey height rooms The estimated sound pressure levels in accordance with this standard use the diffuse sound field theory, also at low frequencies Some studies indicate that these sound levels overestimate the measured room average at low frequencies The estimated sound pressure levels at low frequencies are thus somewhat on the safe side, with Equation G.1 giving an indication of the safety margin 62 BS EN 12354-5:2009 EN 12354-5:2009 (E) Annex H (informative) Guidance for the design of service equipment systems H.1 General The design of a building service equipment room, its position in the building and the building structures often have to be outlined at an early stage of planning, when no detailed data exist At this stage detailed calculations may be difficult to perform For the purpose of facilitating some decisions about the constructions, the following rules-of-thumb may be applied These are given for a ventilation system but are globally applicable also to other comparable equipment rooms (i.e heating equipment, lift, etc.) H.2 Choice of equipment It is essential that pressure and flow data of the air handling unit and the duct system are optimized with respect to sound A complicated duct system, with several bends and changes of dimensions, causes a large pressure drop and the fan must be forced to operate at a high pressure Operation at high pressure and poor air flow conditions causes high sound levels and vibrations of the ducts as well as structure borne sound As a rule of thumb, the most energy efficient mode of operation is often the most quiet as well A quiet air handling system typically includes ducts with large cross-sectional area, moderate radii of bends, airflow diffusers, spaces for pressure distribution chambers before and after the fan, and a low-pressure loss type of sound silencer It is cost-efficient to compare different types of unit and duct design, taking into account that sound emission from the unit and ducts put different requirements of sound and vibration insulation on the building construction A maintenance scheme should be included to avoid increasing sound levels when parts of the equipment not work optimally, e.g regular replacement of air filters and balancing of the power transmission line Ageing, especially if exposed to chemical or corrosive substances can impair vibration isolator’s performance, and their function should be checked regularly H.3 Location of a service equipment room and air-handling unit If possible, allocate service equipment rooms away from spaces that are sensitive to sound Small rooms for storage, WC etc may be used to decrease airborne sound transmission A large space for the equipment is preferred Locate the air-handling unit away from the slab and walls Preferably, all sides of the unit should be possible to access Put the primary sound silencer close to the airhandling unit Design the shape of ducts as to give an efficient airflow in the ducts, with a minimal loss of pressure Avoid branches and sharp bends of the principal duct if possible Ducts with rectangular section have much less sound insulation than circular Do not locate rectangular ducts close to lightweight walls or suspended ceilings but use closed shaft spaces with enough sound insulation to prevent sound transmission to other spaces Air inlets and outlets outdoors should not expose nearby buildings to excessive levels, as may be estimated according to EN 12354-4 Silencers and screens may be used to decrease the sound exposure 63 BS EN 12354-5:2009 EN 12354-5:2009 (E) H.4 Airborne sound insulation of service equipment room Heavy materials, such as brick, concrete, etc are preferred for slabs and walls If lightweight double walls are used, they should be designed to ensure a fundamental resonance frequency of the double wall much below the fundamental frequencies of the air-handling unit This may be achieved with a high surface mass (e.g 3-5 layers of plaster board on each side), resilient studs or channels, a large air gap and the maximum amount of sound absorption material H.5 Structure borne sound and vibration insulation H.5.1 Heavy structure As a rule-of-thumb, the mass of the part of the slab below and close to the unit (covering approximately the surface of the unit), should exceed the mass of the air-handling unit The mass of the slab may be increased by an additional layer of concrete, or a less heavy air-handling unit may be used Typically, a slab of 220-250 mm concrete is preferred Resonance frequencies of the slab (fstructure) should be calculated with respect to the combined masses of the air handling unit and the slab, as well as the stiffness of the slab taking into account the span widths and the restraint at the supports The first resonance frequency should be higher than any rotation frequency of the air handling unit (funit), taking into account the various rotational speeds of the motor, fan, cooling compressor, pumps etc The resonance frequency of the isolators (fisol) should be even lower, approximately fisol < funit/4 Resonance frequencies must not coincide The mass of the unit may be carried differently by the stands The (mm) The deflection of weight on each stand causes a static deflection b of the isolator that equals 320 f isol the isolators should be maximized to about 25 mm for steel springs and 12 mm for rubber isolators, This corresponds to a minimum fisol of 3,6 Hz and 5,2 Hz respectively H.5.2 Lightweight structure Air handling units should not be mounted directly on floating floors, aerated concrete slabs, timber joist floors or steel plate structures The recommended practice is to build a separate structure that supports the airhandling unit, which is as stiff as possible (steel profiles with a high moment of inertia) The supports of the frames should be heavyweight walls or rigid columns that not have any stiff structural contact with other parts of the building structure Even small points of contact may cause structure borne sound in the building In some cases, it may be practical to suspend the unit elastically from the roof structure Vibration isolators are designed with a fundamental resonance frequency fisol at least times less than the resonance frequency of the structure fstructure Vibration isolators as well as the structure should be designed with as high a structural loss factor as possible The use of the structural beams as in integral part of the vibration isolation system is not recommended 64 BS EN 12354-5:2009 EN 12354-5:2009 (E) H.6 Pipes and ductwork The vibrating parts of the service equipment that are suspended by external or internal vibration isolators, i.e motor, fan, pumps etcetera must not be connected to the building structure since this will increase the structure borne sound considerably Electric wiring, pipes for water supply, hydraulic hoses, ducts, etc must not be clamped directly to the building structure The clamps should be fitted with vibrations insulation material or mounted firmly to footings (e.g concrete blocks) that rest on elastic pads on the slab The elastic materials used for pads and clamps should maintain the elastic properties with respect to physical and environmental loads (i.e be resistant to moisture, alkali and organic compounds) Air outlets in rooms transmit sound differently depending on their location Air outlets located in the corners increase low frequency sound in the room The choice of air outlets should be made taking this location effect into account 65 BS EN 12354-5:2009 EN 12354-5:2009 (E) Annex I (informative) Calculation examples I.1 Example for a ventilation system A ventilation system serves a small offices building Figure I.1
