Noise & Overheating
With a changing world climate, residential buildings more than ever are being asked to provide suitable living environments with a future of new and variable atmospheric conditions.
Internal overheating, both during the day and at night, can result in negative health impacts and for this reason in the UK it is now regulated under Part O of the Building Regulations, to provide suitable temperature discharge to ensure that internal environments are not unsuitable for modern day living.
With this comes the challenge in the UK of highly populated urban areas close to noise sources. The conflict of protection of noise intrusion, and effective and sustainable methods of ventilation, require acoustic input for which Sharps Redmore are well equipped to provide.
From initial assessments of risk, against regularly changing guidance advice, to allow developers to understand costs at an early stage; through to detailed assessments working alongside the building services/energy consultants, Sharps Redmore can provide this full service.
Sharps Redmore are specialists in undertaking noise assessments and advising on management strategies to ensure developments not only comply with current planning and related building regulations, but that occupants of the buildings are likely to be content within them as well.
