Sound is the most important communicative vector in our society. For better or for worse. Therefore, we must know how to manage it properly within all our processes.
The Technical Building Code (CTE) develops the basic requirements in terms of noise that are established in the Building Planning Law (LOE), but how does it affect and make us responsible as facultative technicians?
The objective of the prescribing technician is to go beyond strict regulatory compliance: he must be up to date with the basic concepts that refer to applied acoustics and architecture.
We address the mission of doctors as facilitators of instruments for the correct development in our society, guaranteeing a necessary and harmonious coexistence, compatibility and cohabitation of uses, all based on ethics, rigour, professionalism and sustainability.
Fundació Aedificat, within the framework of the Official College of Quantity Surveyors and Technical Architects of Mallorca in collaboration with AVALUA, has organized a conference on the importance of acoustics in architecture, how noise affects people and what responsibilities facultative technicians must assume.
