    Comparison of acoustic performance and subjective evaluation in residential buildings
    (International Commission for Acoustics (ICA), 2019) Sentop, A.; Bayazit, N.
    The "Regulation on Protection of Buildings against Noise” was issued by the Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanization in May 2017. The regulation was put into force partially in May 2018 obliging all new buildings to follow acoustical requirements. In May 2019, acoustical project by an acoustical expert will be obligatory for large scale or multifunctional buildings. The regulation aims to introduce a scheme for acoustical performance evaluation, ranging from A to F following the EU/COST TU 0901 project outcomes and ISO-CD19488. This study aims to demonstrate the application of the regulatory requirements with field measurements and a survey. Airborne and impact sound insulation, indoor noise level, service equipment noise level and reverberation time were measured in 6 residential buildings and acoustic performances were analyzed according to the classification scheme. A survey was conducted with the residents of the buildings. The results were compared and the applicability of the regulation was discussed. © 2019 Proceedings of the International Congress on Acoustics. All rights reserved.

    Noise control by design: A tool intended for architectural use
    (Australian Acoustical Society, 2014) Sentop, A.; Tamer Bayazit, N.; Altun, M.C.
    This study aims to present a building elements selection tool, which has been generated to assist architects with determination of acoustically appropriate assemblies at the preliminary design stage. In order to succeed, practicality, easy usage and reliability are considered essential for every step. In this context a catalogue and a calculator are generated as components of the tool. The catalogue constitutes a database in which building elements are subcategorized according to their constructional and acoustical characteristics. Acoustical measurement results of 587 different assemblies are collected from relevant literature and their technical drawings are prepared in order to provide easy selection. The calculator serves to simplify the calculations by giving the sound insulation requirement according to outdoor noise levels and acceptable background noise levels. The calculator also determines composite (average) sound insulation value of building elements composed of multiple components. Background noise criteria and data from the catalogue are predefined in the calculator, simplifying data insertion and parallel usage of the catalogue and the calculator. In order to prove efficiency and practicality of the building elements selection tool, its usability by architects is tested on subjects with a sample design problem and outcomes are discussed.
