Proposal of assessment of acoustic comfort - one of basic subcategories of the social aspect of sustainable housing construction

Abstract

The article presents a proposal to assess acoustic comfort as one of the sub-categories characterizing the social aspect of sustainable construction. The authors, considering the actual values of acoustic indicators existing in residential buildings being in operation phase, proposed their own classification scale. At the same time, the authors refer to the guidelines contained in regulations, standards, publications, and their own in situ research and, in particular, to normative values in the newly published standard (PN-B 02151-5, 2017).
