Design Criteria for Acoustic Comfort Performance in High-rise Buildings

Abstract

The design criteria for high rise and traditional buildings take issue in acoustics as similar applies for engineering and architectural design. The most common sources for vibration and noise are: the effect of wind on structural systems the wind effects structural systems, high speed elevators, the dimensions of the facade, mechanical and electrical systems, and occupied workplace areas. These is countered by the recent developments in property style, structure systems and building techniques making new main research areas for acoustics with solutions for: stabiliser systems, atriums and interior gardens for natural ventilation and lighting, economical use of solar and wind energy, smart building automation, advanced facade systems. High buildings; in terms of acoustics as well as in the fields of engineering and architecture, compared to other buildings have different design criteria. Structural sounds caused by wind, fast elevators, mechanical and electrical systems, facades and open office areas are the main sources of vibration and noise in high-rise buildings can be counted as. The main acoustic requirements specific to the high rise building typology have been determined through the project on the subject studies and literature were evaluated. This research reviews the literature and projects regarding acoustic comfort and ensuing the special acoustic needs to style this kind of building in an exceedingly property method.
