This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2000, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2000. Itis the first version of a series of standards, specifying calculation models in building acoustics. Although the standard covers the main types of building construction it cannot as yet cover all variations in the construction of buildings. It sets out an approach for gaining experience for future improvements and developments. During the preparation of this standard and the related EN 12354-1:2000, it became clear that some of the element data necessary based on standardized measurement methods are not yet available, hence some informative annexes have been added to explain what is needed, to indicate possible measurement methods and to illustrate this with some indicative acoustical data. These annexes should form the basis for new or revised standards for building elements, which would replace these annexes. This standard includes six annexes. Annex A is normative and annexes B to F are informative. The accuracy of this standard can only be specified in detail after widespread comparisons with field data, which can only be gathered over a period of time after establishing the prediction model. To help the user in the mean time, indications of the accuracy have been given, based on earlier comparisons with comparable prediction models. It is the responsibility of the user (ie. a person, an organisation, the authorities) to address the consequences of the accuracy, inherent for all measurement and prediction methods, by specifying requirements for the input data and/or applying a safety margin to the results or applying some other correction. ‘According to the CEN/CENELEC intemal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following Countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, ‘Switzerland and the United Kingdom.Page 4 EN 12354-2:2000 1 Scope This European Standard specifies calculation models designed to estimate the impact sound insulation between rooms in buildings, primarily on the bases of measured data which characterizes direct or indirect flanking transmission by the participating building elements and theoretically derived methods of sound propagation in structural elements. ‘A detailed model is described for calculation in frequency bands ; the single number rating of buildings can be determined from the calculation results. A simplified model with a restricted field of application is deduced from this, calculating directly the single number rating, using the single number ratings of the elements, This European Standard describes the principles of the calculation scheme, lists the relevant quantities and defines its applications and restrictions. It is intended for acoustical experts and provides the framework for the development of application documents and tools for other users in the field of building construction, taking into account local circumstances. The calculation models described use the most general approach for engineering purposes, with a clear link to measurable quantities that specify the performance of building elements. The known limitations of these calculation models are described in this standard. Users should, however, be aware that other calculation models also exist, ‘each with their own applicability and restrictions. The models are based on experience with prediction for dwellings ; they could also be used for other types of buildings provided the construction systems and dimensions of elements are not too different from those in dwellings. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications, These ormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter.

It is determined by normalizing the direction-averaged velocity level difference over the junction, to the junction length and the equivalent absorption length, if relevant, of both elements in accordance with the following equation : ® D's the junction velocity level difference between elements i and j, when element iis excited, in decibel Dis the junction velocity level difference between elements j and i, when element jis excited, in decibels ; in metres ; is the common length of the junction between element i and j, is the equivalent absorption length of element i, in metres ; 4; _ is the equivalent absorption length of element j, in metres.

NOTE 2 For the time being values for this quantily can be taken from annex E of EN 2354-1 : 2000 or be deduced from available data on the junction velocity level difference according to that annex.Page 8 EN 12354-2:2000 3.2.8 Other element data For the calculation additional information on the elements can be necessary, 6.9. : — mass per unit area m’, in kilograms per square metre ; — type of element ; — material ; — type of junction. 3.3 Other terms and quantities Direct transmission : Transmission due to impact excitation and sound radiation from a separating element.

Further symbols used in this standard appear in annex A. 4 Calculation models 4.1 General principles ‘The sound power radiated into the receiving room is due to sound radiated by each structural element in that room. The sound radiated by each of the structural elements is caused by sound transmitted to that element due to impact on a structural element in the source room. It is assumed that the transmission via each of these paths can be considered to be independent and that the sound and vibrational fields behave statistically, so that the impact sound pressure level L', can be obtained by addition of the energy transmitted via each path. The transmission paths considered are defined in Figure 1, where d indicates the direct impact sound transmission and f flanking Impact sound transmission. For rooms above each other the total impact sound pressure level 1’, in the receiving room is determined by : ( 2 Ly =101g| 10% + 740°"?

As a minimum the calculation has to be performed for octave bands from 125 Hz to 2000 Hz or for one-third octave bands from 100 Hz to 3150 Hz. From this the single number rating for the building performance can be obtained in accordance with EN ISO 717-2 : 1996. NOTE 2 — The calculations can be extended to higher or lower frequencies if element data are available for these frequencies. However, no information is available at this time on the accuracy of calculations for the extended lower frequency regions, ‘The detailed model is described in 4.2. The simplified model calculates the building performance directly as a single number rating, based on the single number ratings of the performance of the elements involved. The simplified model is described in 4.3. 4.2 Detailed Model 4.2.1 Input data The transmission for each of the paths can be determined from : — normalized impact sound pressure level ofthe floor : Ly ; — reduction ofthe impact sound pressure level ofthe floor covering : AL ; — reduction of the impact sound pressure level of additional layers on the receiving room side of the separating element i (floor) : AL;Page 10 EN 12854-2:2000 — sound reduction index of the excitated element (floor): Rj; — sound reduction index for direct transmission of flanking element j in the receiving room : Rj: — sound reduction index improvement by intemal layers of flanking element jin the receiving room : AR; ; — structural reverberation time for an element in the laboratory : 7, 3 — vibration reduction index for each transmission path between element (floor) and element j: Ki; — area of the separating element (floor) : 5; ; — area of the flanking element j in the receiving room : 5; ; — common coupling length between element i tloor) and flanking element j: Jy Information on the normalized impact sound pressure level for common homogeneous floors is given in B.1.

Information on the sound reduction index improvement is given in annex D of EN 12354-1 : 2000. Information on the vibration reduction index for common junctions is given in annex E of EN 12354-1 : 2000. 42.2 Transfer of input data to in-situ values ‘Acoustic data for elements (separating and flanking structural elements, additional layers and coverings, junctions) have to be converted into in-situ values before the actual determination of the sound transmission. For elements the in-situ values for the normalized impact sound pressure level L, 4, and the sound reduct Ry follow from Impact sound pressure level : Tas asi = by +10 ig 8 gB (13) ‘Sound reduction index : (14) where is the structural reverberation time for the element in the actual field situation, in second: ii iS the structural reverberation time for the element in the laboratory, in seconds.Page 11 EN 12854-2:2000 For each flanking transmission path the sound reduction index, , of the elements involved (including the separating element) should relate to the resonant transmission only. It is correct to apply the laboratory sound reduction index above the critical frequency. Below the critical frequency this can be considered a reasonable estimation which errs on the low side, due to non-resonant transmission. If the values of the sound reduction index are based on calculations from material properties, it is best to consider only resonant transmission over the frequency range of interest. For the following building elements the structural reverberation time 7; shall be taken equal to 7, which leads toa correction term of 0 dB : — lightweight, double leaf elements, such as timber framed or metal framed stud wall — elements with an internal loss factor greater than 0,03 ; — elements which are much lighter than the surrounding structural elements (by a factor of at least three) ; — elements which are not firmly connected to the surrounding structural elements. ‘Otherwise the structural reverberation time, both for the laboratory and for the actual field situation, has to be taken into account in accordance with annex C of EN 12354-1 : 2000. NOTE1 Asa first approximation the correction terms for al types of elements can be taken as 0 dB. For additional layers and coverings the in-situ values can be taken as the laboratory value as an approximation : ARgiy =AR dB Alyy =AL — oB (15) ALgsiy =ALg OB It appropriate data for the impact sound improvement index ALg by suspended ceilings on the receiving side of the separating floor is not available, the airborne sound improvement index AR can be used as an estimation.

In that case itis possible to characterize the flanking transmission for this construction ‘as a whole by laboratory measurements (see annex D). 4.2.4. Interpretation for several types of elements Information on the interpretation for several types of elements is given in EN 12354-1 : 2000. 42.5 Limitations — the model is only applicable to combinations of elements for which the junction transmission index is known or can be estimated from known values ; — the elements should have approximately the same radiation characteristics to both sides ; — the contribution of secondary transmission paths, involving more than one junction, is neglected ; — the reduction of impact sound pressure level AL measured on a massive floor in accordance with EN ISO 140-8 cannot be used in combination with timber floors or other lightweight composite floor constructions. 4.3 Simplified model 43.1 Calculation procedure ‘The simplified version of the calculation mode! predicts the weighted normalized impact sound pressure level on the basis of weighted values of the elements involved, determined in accordance with the weighting procedure of EN ISO 717-2 : 1996. Its application is restricted to rooms above each other and a homogeneous basic floor construction. The influence of structural damping is taken info account in an average way, neglecting the specifics of the situation and the flanking transmission is accounted for in a global way, based on calculations with the detailed model. ‘The weighted normalized impact sound pressure level Ly i8 given by : weq7Aly + K dB (21) K isthe correction for impact sound transmission over the homogeneous flanking constructions in decibels, as given in Table 1.Page 14 EN 12354-2:2000 Table 1 - Correction K for flanking transmission in decibels Mass per unit area of | _ Mean mass per unit area of the homogeneous flanking the separating elements not covered with additional layers in element (floor) in kgim? kg/m? 100 | 150 | 200 | 250 | s00 | 350 | 400 | 450 | 500 100 150 200 250 300 360 400 450 500 600 700 800 900 alololo elololo a}lolololololo alolololelelolo ala}afalolololelolofo ololalajalajalo/olw{m|aj— alalalalefe/mlm/w]s|ajafo alalelealm|m|wlsjalafalolo elolelm|r|r 2 2 | 2 2;2[e2 41 1 3 |2ie2felfe If one or more massive flanking constructions are covered by additional layers (wall lining) with a resonant frequency fo < 125 Hz according to D.2 of EN 12954-1 : 2000 the surface masses of the covered elements are not considered in the calculation of the mean mass value. NOTE In principle a correction term K to express the contribution of flanking transmission could also be derived for other room configurations than rooms above each other. 4.3.2. Input data Acoustic data on the elements involved should be taken primarily from standardized laboratory measurements. However, they may also be deduced in other ways, using theoretical calculations, empirical estimations or measurement results from field situations. Information on this is given in some annexes. The sources of data used shall be clearly stated. ‘The input data consist of the following — equivalent weighted normalized impact sound pressure level of the floor baS@ : Ln w.cq ‘The single number rating to express element performance of heavy floor bases is obtained by rating the frequency depending normalized impact sound pressure level following the procedure described in annex B of EN ISO 717-2 : 1996: — weighted reduction of impact sound pressure level of the floor covering : Aly The single number rating to express element performance of floor coverings (floating floors or soft floor coverings) is obtained by applying the procedure described in clause 5 of EN ISO 717-2 : 1996, Information on the equivalent weighted normalized impact sound pressure level L, floor constructions is given in B.2, mumeq fof Common homogeneousPage 15 EN 12354-2:2000 Information on the weighted normalized impact sound improvement index AL, of floating floors is given in C.2, 4.3.3 Limitations — the model is only applicable to homogeneous building constructions (masonry and/or concrete) with floating floors or soft coverings on a homogeneous floor construction ; — itis only applicable for rooms above each other and for rooms of conventional size in dwellings. 5 Accuracy The calculation models predict the measured performance of buildings, assuming good workmanship and high ‘measurement accuracy. The accuracy of the prediction by the models presented depends on many factors : the ‘accuracy of the input data, the fitting of the situation to the model, the type of elements and junctions involved, the geometry of the situation and the workmanship. It is therefore not possible to specify the accuracy of the predictions in general for all types of situations and applications. Data on the accuracy will have to be gathered in future by comparing the results of the model with a variety of field situations. However, some indications can be siven. The main experience in the application of similar models, as far as the detailed model is concerned, is based on buildings with homogeneous building elements, e.g. brick walls, concrete floors and walls, gypsum blocks etc. For vertical impact sound transmission the prediction of the single number value is correct with a standard deviation of 2 dB. For horizontal transmission the calculated single number values have a varying bias error of 0 dB to 5 dB with @ standard deviation of around 3 dB. The bias is expected to be caused largely by neglecting the structural reverberation time, Calculation examples with the simplified model show that about 60 % of the predicted values are in a range of + 2 dB compared to the measured values and 100 % are in a range of + 4 dB. There is at present no experience with the correction of flanking transmission of impact sound. It is expected that this correction will improve the accuracy of the model for common field situations. {In applying the predictions it is advisable to vary the input data, especially in complicated situations and with atypical elements with questionable input data. The resulting variation in the results gives an impression of the expected accuracy for these situations, assuming similar workmanship.Page 16 EN 12354-2:2000 Annex A (normative) Symbols Symbol Physical quantity unit a ‘equivalent absorption length of a structural element im} asim equivalent absorption length of a structural element in the actual field [m] situation A ‘equivalent sound absorption area in the receiving room [m4] Ao reference equivalent sound absorption area ; for dwellings given as 10m* —_[m*] 6 speed of sound in air (= 340 m/s) Ime] a longitudinal wave speed {ms} G spectrum adaptation term for impact sound according to EN ISO 717-2 : [dB] 1996 Gy Spectrum adaptation term for impact sound reduction by floor coverings [dB] according to annex A of EN ISO 717-2 : 1996 Dyij junction velocity level difference between excited element i and receiving [dB] element j direction-averaged junction velocity level diference between elements i [dB] and j in the actual field situation f Frequency [Hz] Feet reference frequency (= 1000 Hz) [Hz] i indices for an element in the source room (= D,F) tl i indices for an element in the receiving room (= 4,f) tl K correction term for flanking transmission (a8) Ki vibration reduction index for each transmission path ij over a junction [a8 minimum value for Ki in the actual field situation (a8) 4 average impact sound pressure level in the receiving room [4B re 20 uPal In normalized impact sound pressure level [dB re 20 pPal In Rormalized flanking impact sound pressure leve!

This will be the case with flanking constructions like access floors. In this case the transmission will often be primarily structure-borne, though airbome transmission may be of influence. To express the results from such measurements it would be desirable to use an invariant quantity, that is a quantity which is independent of the measurement situation. From such a quantity the behaviour in the field could be extrapolated. However, such a quantity cannot be given in general, it is at most feasible to deduce such a quantity if the main transmission mechanism is known, i.¢. primarily structure- bome or primarily airborne. For the time being therefore the laboratory measurement of indirect transmission has the primary objective of intercomparison of different products in a standardized measurement situation. The measurement results are for that purpose expressed sufficiently as the flanking normalized impact sound pressure level Las, related to the specified laboratory situation Ing = Le +10 ig * dB; Ay = 10m?

For access floors this is determined in accordance with prEN ISO 140-12. For other flanking measurement methods are specified in prEN ISO 10848-1 In the case of mainly structure-bome transmission the following equation can be used to determine the flanking impact sound pressure level LF (with F = i) in an actual field situation from the product information Lai.

NOTE 1 If airborne sound transmission is also of importance or even dominant, this relation is not valid. In the later case a possible approach would be as for suspended ceilings ; see annex F of EN 12354-1 : 2000, NOTE2 For the use of this, and future improved relations, it would be necessary for some types of construction to perform additional laboratory measurements, to establish that the structure-bome transmission is indeed dominant.Page 28 EN '12354-2:2000 Annex E (informative) Calculation examples E.1 Situation The impact sound pressure level L'n between two dwellings is to be calculated for two rooms above each other, ‘separated by a concrete floor slab covered with a floating floor.
