Scope

This technical specification identifies and clarifies acoustic properties for digital building design and maintenance.

This document provides all the needed properties to design and to describe building acoustic performances of building elements and buildings. These properties are intended to be used as mapping properties for property providers and requesters. The mapping of the identifiers enables the exchange of building acoustic data within different databases.

The unambiguous mapping and description of properties improves the data quality, reduces misinterpretations and the processing time in digital environments. Therefore, the properties listed in this document establishes the essential description of building acoustic data in BIM systems and databases.

The listed properties in this document are used to structure the product data sheet which is complemented with real product information.

Purpose

Purpose : To list all the acoustic quantities following the instructions of prEN ISO 23386 (Building Information Modelling and other digital processes used in construction – Methodology to describe author, and maintain properties in interconnected dictionaries). This forms a dictionary of acoustic properties that then correctly can be used in databases. The work will also guide the work of WG 4 of CEN TC 442.
