Comparison of Acoustic Properties of the Peripheral Walls of Energy Efficient Buildings - Natural and Artificial Materials

Abstract:

Natural eco-friendly materials are widely discussed topic nowadays, especially in the context of the implementation of European legislation into national legislation and with the increasing demands on the energy efficiency of buildings. The majority of builders still prefer the classical artificial materials. One of the reasons is the lack of technical information, particularly in the field of building acoustics and fire safety, which would be demonstrated by appropriate research. The aim of this study is to compare the acoustic properties of selected structures based on natural materials which are based on research results and a series of measurements with conventional materials to demonstrate their competitiveness.
