BREEAM Acoustics (HEA O5 & POL 05)

Our team provides high quality assessments for BREEAM credits HEA 05 and POL 05 for all associated building types.

What Are BREEAM Acoustics HEA 05 & POL 05?

HEA 05 Definition:

The HEA 05 segment within a BREEAM noise assessment pertains to the acoustic characteristics of the intended structure or permanent installation.

Its purpose is to ensure that the acoustic performance of the building aligns with the required standards as specified by BREEAM. Some of the aspects related to acoustic performance that we evaluate in a BREEAM noise survey encompass ambient indoor noise levels, reverberation times, sound insulation, and the influence of rain noise on the project.

POL 05 Definition:

The POL 05 component within a BREEAM noise assessment is focused on noise reduction with regard to the planned structure or permanent installation. Its objective is to guarantee that the noise generated by the new development doesn’t adversely affect neighboring buildings.

The POL 05 section of a BREEAM noise survey closely resembles other types of noise impact assessments that are mandated for planning purposes.

What Do Our Acoustic Consultations Include?

Our team to measures the acoustic performance within your building via the use of our specially designed drones. During our BREEAM Acoustic Consultation, we will carry out a number of tests to ensure that your building meets the requirements for sound travelling through and the appropriate acoustic performances from the fixed installations and sound insulations.

Our Services can help to manage pollution risks in and around construction sites, while also focusing on the health and well-being of the occupants. Our HEA 05 service includes:
