Description (English):

ISO 12354-3:2017 specifies a calculation model to estimate the sound insulation or the sound pressure level difference of a façade or other external surface of a building. The calculation is based on the sound reduction index of the different elements from which the façade is constructed and it includes direct and flanking transmission. The calculation gives results which correspond approximately to the results from field measurements in accordance with ISO 16283‑3. Calculations can be carried out for frequency bands or for single number ratings. The calculation results can also be used for calculating the indoor sound pressure level due to for instance road traffic (see Annex E). ISO 12354-3:2017 describes the principles of the calculation model, lists the relevant quantities and defines its applications and restrictions.

Abstract

Overview

ISO 12354-3:2017 - Building acoustics - Part 3: Airborne sound insulation against outdoor sound - specifies a calculation model to estimate the sound insulation (or level difference) of façades and external building surfaces from the acoustic performance of their constituent elements. The model combines direct and flanking transmission and produces results that correspond approximately to field measurements (see ISO 16283‑3). Calculations can be made in one‑third‑octave or octave frequency bands or as single‑number ratings, and can be used to estimate indoor sound pressure levels from sources such as road traffic (Annex E).

Key Topics

Calculation model and principles: framework for predicting façade performance from element data, including limitations and accuracy guidance.
Sound reduction index (R): use of laboratory-measured element R values (ISO 10140 series) as primary input.
Apparent and normalized quantities: R′ (apparent sound reduction), D2m,n and D2m,nT (normalized/standardized level differences) for practical building performance assessment.
Direct vs. flanking transmission: methods for determining transmission through primary elements and through connecting paths (flanking).
Small technical elements and joints: treatment of transfer air devices, ducts, joints and slits (normalized level difference Dn,e, joints Rs).
Façade geometry: influence of façade shape on incident sound levels (Annex C).
Supporting material: lists of symbols (Annex A), practical guidance (Annex F), calculation examples (Annex G), and procedures for estimating indoor levels (Annex E).
Accuracy & limitations: guidance on expected agreement with field measurements and need for conservative margins or refined input data.

Applications

Pre‑construction performance prediction of façades and external walls against outdoor noise (road, rail, environmental sources).
Early design and specification for architects, façade engineers and acoustic consultants to select materials and assemblies that meet target D or R′ values.
Regulatory compliance checks and assessment of retrofit solutions to improve indoor comfort.
Input to acoustic simulation tools and software for building design and noise mitigation planning.

Who Should Use It

Acoustical experts and consultants
Façade and building envelope designers
Architects and building services engineers
Product manufacturers (windows, walls, ventilation components)
Regulatory authorities and building certifiers
