Revision of EN 12354-3 taking into account of N 510 "Results of the 5 years review of En 12354-3
and the report of WG 2 (N 520).
This document describes calculation models designed to estimate the airborne sound insulation between rooms in buildings, primarily using measured data which characterize direct or indirect flanking transmission by the participating building elements and theoretically derived methods of sound propagation in structural elements.
A detailed model is described for calculation in frequency bands ; the single number rating can be determined from the calculation results. A simplified model with a restricted field of application is deduced from this, calculating directly the single number rating, using the single number ratings of the elements.
This document describes the principles of the calculation scheme, 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 clear link to measurable quantities that specify the performance of building elements. 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 ; they could also be used for other types of buildings provided the construction systems and dimensions of elements are not too different from those in dwellings.

This draft European Standard specifies calculation models designed to estimate the impact sound insulation between rooms in buildings, primarily on the bases of measured data which characterizes direct or indirect flanking transmission by the participating building elements and theoretically derived methods of sound propagation in structural elements.
A detailed model is described for calculation in frequency bands, in the frequency range 1/3 octave 100 Hz - 3 150 according to EN ISO 717 1, possibly extended down to 1/3 octave 50 Hz if element data and junction data are available (see Annex E); the single number rating of buildings can be determined from the calculation results. A simplified model with a restricted field of application is deduced from this, calculating directly the single number rating, using the single number ratings of the elements; the uncertainty on the apparent impact sound pressure level calculated using the simplified model can be determined according to the method described in prEN 12354 1:2016, Annex K (see Clause 5).
This draft European Standard describes the principles of the calculation scheme, 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 clear link to measurable quantities that specify the performance of building elements. The known limitations of these calculation models are described in this standard. 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 prediction for dwellings; they could also be used for other types of buildings provided the construction systems and dimensions of elements are not too different from those in dwellings.
The 2000 edition of this standard has been revised with greater details for application to lightweight constructions (typically steel or wood framed lightweight elements as opposed to heavier masonry or concrete elements).

This draft European standard describes a calculation model for the sound power level radiated by the envelope of a building due to airborne sound inside that building, primarily by means of measured sound pressure levels inside the building and measured data which characterize the sound transmission by the relevant elements and openings in the building envelope. These sound power levels, together with those of other sound sources in or in front of the building envelope, form the basis for the calculation of the sound pressure level at a chosen distance from a building as a measure for the acoustic performance of buildings.
The prediction of the inside sound pressure level from knowledge of the indoor sound sources is outside the scope of this draft European standard.
The prediction of the outdoor sound propagation is outside the scope of this draft European standard.
NOTE   For simple propagation conditions an approach is given for the estimation of the sound pressure level in  the informative Annex E.
This draft European standard describes the principles of the calculation model, 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.
This revised edition has been updated mainly for normative references, and otherwise kept as it was in the first edition.

This draft European Standard describes calculation models designed to estimate the airborne sound insulation between adjacent rooms in buildings, primarily using measured data which characterize direct or indirect flanking transmission by the participating building elements, and theoretically derived methods of sound propagation in structural elements.
A detailed model is described for calculation in frequency bands, in the frequency range 1/3 octave 100 - 3 150 Hz according to EN ISO 717-1, possibly extended down to 1/3 octave 50 Hz if element data and junction data are available (see Annex I); the single number rating can be determined from the calculation results. A simplified model with a restricted field of application is deduced from this, calculating directly the single number rating, using the single number ratings of the elements; a method to determine uncertainty is proposed for the simplified model (see Annex K).
This document describes the principles of the calculation scheme, 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 clear link to measurable quantities that specify the performance of building elements. 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; they could also be used for other types of buildings provided the construction systems and dimensions of elements are not too different from those in dwellings.
The 2000 edition of this standard has been revised with greater details for application to lightweight constructions (typically steel or wood framed lightweight elements as opposed to heavier masonry or concrete elements). When the first edition of the standard was published, there was a necessity for giving tables of data; but now more experimental data are available, so some of these tables have been removed.

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 characterizes 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 dimensions of constructions are not too different from those in dwellings.

This European Standard describes a calculation model to estimate the total equivalent sound absorption area or reverberation time of enclosed spaces in buildings. The calculation is primarily based on measured data that characterise the sound absorption of materials and objects. Calculations can only be carried out for frequency bands.
This European Standard describes the principles of the calculation model, 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 model is based on experience with predictions for rooms, such as rooms in dwellings and offices, and common spaces in buildings, such as stairwells, corridors and rooms containing machinery and technical equipment. It is not intended to be used for very large or irregularly-shaped spaces, such as concert halls, theatres and factories.
