| BB93 ’Äì Acoustic design of schools |
Click here to go to our building acoustics webpage
The aim of Building Bulletin 93 (BB93) is to provide a comprehensive guide for architects, building control bodies, building services engineers, and others involved in the design of new school buildings.
Acoustics Plus offers the following services to solve your classroom and school acoustic issues with relation to BB93:
- Noise survey
- Design services
- Sound testing
BB93 gives the performance targets for compliance with Requirement E4 from Part E of Schedule 1 of The Building Regulations 2000 that ’Äòeach room or other space in a school building shall have the acoustic conditions and the sound insulation against disturbance by noise appropriate to its normal use’Äô. All school buildings must conform to BB93 and are subject to detailed design checks on on-site inspections. The document BB93 can be found at www.teachernet.gov.uk
Acoustics Plus has particular expertise in relation to Section 1 of BB93 which contains performance standards for speech intelligibility in open plan spaces. The guidance in BB93 states that a computer prediction model should be used to calculate the speech intelligibility using the Speech Transmission Index (STI) in the open plan space. Acoustics Plus has carried out extensive speech intelligibility prediction exercises using computer prediction models for BB93 compliance.
