]]> On an evolutionary scale, it is only recently that we have developed technologies and architecture that allows us to change our immediate environment so significantly that it can have little in common with our original living conditions. This has had an effect on every factor that determines our level of ‘comfort’; however for now I will focus on acoustics, and more specifically, noise.

Misunderstanding this can go either way in terms of under or over performance; therefore getting this simple difference goes a long way to ensuring a good result on site, as well as presenting value engineering opportunities.
