The sound insulation of building façade is one of the most important parameters of acoustic performance required for building elements. The choice of particular technical solutions depends on the specific limits set by national rules and regulations, and it is strictly correlated to other environmental parameters, like indoor lighting and ventilation.

Abstract
The sound insulation of building façade is one of the most important parameters of acoustic performance required for building elements. The choice of particular technical solutions depends on the specific limits set by national rules and regulations, and it is strictly correlated to other environmental parameters, like indoor lighting and ventilation. From this point of view particular cases are analysed, such as schools, hospital, or buildings near public infrastructures (railways, airports). In this paper a critical analysis of different façade sound insulation solutions is presented correlated to national regulations and to experimental data, with particular regard to measurement techniques. Comparison with theoretical predictions according to the method proposed by EN 12354 are also reported.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
