Measurement workflow for building acoustics
Nor850 Building Acoustics implements a workflow tailored to standardized sound insulation testing, covering both field and laboratory measurements:
-
Setup of measurement positions and sound sources according to the test type
-
Execution of airborne, façade and impact sound insulation measurements, as well as reverberation time
-
Automatic calculation of acoustic indices according to ISO 717 and other applicable standards
-
Generation of standards-compliant test reports
Integrated within the Nor850 system
Nor850 Building Acoustics integrates with Norsonic hardware, including sound level meters, multi-channel systems and sound sources, enabling solutions tailored to both field measurements and laboratory testing.
The system combines measurement control, result processing and data management within a single working environment, ensuring consistency and reliable validation of results throughout the entire process.
Nor850 covers the main building acoustics measurement scenarios,
both in the field and in laboratory environments.
Field measurements
Airborne and impact sound insulation, as well as reverberation time measurements,
in buildings and occupied spaces according to ISO 16283 and other applicable standards,
with evaluation according to ISO 717 and equivalent standards
Laboratory measurements
Airborne and impact sound insulation measurements under controlled conditions
for the characterization of building elements according to ISO 10140, with evaluation
according to ISO 717
Advanced capabilities with Nor850 Building Acoustics
Nor850 Building Acoustics includes features specifically designed for building acoustics testing, providing control and accuracy in real measurement conditions:
- Wireless system synchronization, enabling control of the Nor145 sound level meter and Nor282 power amplifier during insulation measurements
- Multi-channel measurement without cables, through synchronization of multiple sound level meters and sound sources, enabling coordinated measurements across different positions
- Integration with Norsonic multi-channel systems, enabling acquisition setups with a large number of microphones, particularly suited for laboratory testing
- SweptSine measurements, particularly suited for conditions with varying background noise, where the signal-to-noise ratio in the receiving room may be critical
- Automated measurement sequences, through control of equipment such as microphone booms, enabling fully automated laboratory testing
- Advanced result processing, including calculation of indices, averaging of measurements and management of measurement conditions, such as the application of spectral adaptation terms (C, Ctr)
- Exclusion of disturbed measurements, with automatic recalculation of results when conditions in the source or receiving room affect the validity of sound insulation measurements
- Integrated standards verification, supporting validation of measurements according to ISO 16283, ISO 10140 and ISO 717
- Advanced data management, with full traceability and structured project organization, enabling analysis and comparison of results across projects, both as single-number ratings and across frequency bands
