Calculation of Noise Indicators at the most exposed Facade

In Annex VI of Directive 2002/49/EC it is stated, that the number of people living in buildings with levels at the most exposed (loudest) facade in 5 dB intervals has to be determined. This statistical evaluation has to be repeated for buildings with a relatively quiet facade.

 The building evaluation of residential buildings is the basis for determination of number of residents in level classes
 Building Noise Map: facades up to 4 m height are colored according to the calculated facade level

 
Using the Building Noise Map of CadnaA these calculations can be performed without problems. With the first step the circular building evaluation symbol is attached to all residential buildings - this can be done for all buildings in the project or in a defined area in one step. During calculation the noise indicators are determined around the facades of all buildings with the building evaluation symbol. Inside the symbol the largest value of Lden and Ln of all these facade points is shown. Additionally for each building the lowermost noise indicators are known and can be used in further evaluations (e.g. to decide about the existence of a relatively quiet facade).
