Urban Noise Control: Designing Acoustic Barriers & Building Facades

How do we create healthy, quiet indoor environments amidst extreme urban traffic noise, without disrupting local culture? This case study explores how advanced 3D acoustic modeling (DataKustik CadnaA) is used to design optimized noise barriers and high-performance architectural facades. Discover how data-driven building physics can mitigate 85 dB of vehicular noise, ensuring optimal acoustic comfort without compromising natural daylighting, thermal insulation, or architectural beauty.
