Building Acoustics
Clermont-Ferrand, AURA

In Clermont-Ferrand, capital of the Auvergne, the refurbishment of the old centre, the new developments of the metropolis and the major industrial and university facilities structure the acoustic issues. The density of the built fabric, the structuring routes and the nuisance from technical equipment demand attention to insulation and to the acoustics of installations, while the widespread use of heat pumps exposes projects to neighbourhood disputes. An acoustic study from the design stage secures airborne and impact sound insulation, equipment acoustics and the works completion certificate of Clermont-Ferrand projects.

In Clermont-Ferrand, urban density, the widespread use of outdoor heat pumps and neighbourhood noise nuisance make the acoustic study decisive: from the design stage, to size the sound insulation and avoid disputes at handover, then at acceptance, to certify NRA compliance and regulatory noise emergence.
