Acoustic Comfort

Excessive noise from building systems and outside sources can cause stress and impede building occupants’ productivity and comfort. The ‘Acoustic Comfort’ credit encourages and rewards the monitoring of noise from building systems and exterior sources, and the maintenance of such at appropriate levels.

Points are awarded where processes are in place to periodically monitor noise from building systems and outside sources, and to adjust noise levels should they reach levels outside the acceptable range as determined by Australian Standards.
