Background Noise: The indoor noise level must meet the
recommended noise level for speech intelligibility as described in BS
8233:1999 (e.g., private offi ce: 40-50 Laeq, open–plan offi ce: 45-
50Laeq). The project should select the worst case among occupied
spaces in terms of exposure to external and internal noise sources
for assessment. Among multiple sound paths from HVAC-related
systems, predominant sound paths should be taken into account.
Calculations for traffic noise follow FHWA traffi c noise prediction
model, and calculations for HVAC-related noise levels follow ARI
