Schools Assessment
Typically, we may carry out the following for architects and builders responsible for creating or upgrading educational buildings.
Long-term and short-term Measurement of existing noise levels. Knowing this allows us to offer design advice on adequate glazing to stop noise break-in to buildings.
Predictive computer modelling of the sound insulation offered by the architects proposed separating walls and floors. This tells us if the partitions are up to standard according to BB93.
Assessment of the reverberation time and speech intelligibility in proposed rooms to test compliance with BB93 criteria.
Recommendations to improve standards to those prescribed by BB93, or better.
A free helpline whilst work is underway and, where necessary, a site inspection.
Sound testing of the completed school, if required by the local authority
Documentation of the assessment in a report which you can send to your local authority and your BREEAM Assessor.
