IEA Annex 27: Evaluation and demonstration of domestic ventilation systems. Assessments on noise.

The acceptance and appreciation of ventilation systems is mainly determined by the perceived indoor air quality, thermal comfort and noise. Noise in relation to ventilation systems can be divided into three categories: outdoor noise (entering the dwelling through ventilation openings, cracks, mechanical supply and exhaust openings etc.); noise generated by components of the ventilation system; the impact of ventilation systems on sound reduction of partitions (between dwellings, rooms etc.). Depending on the type of ventilation system, one or more of these aspects are of concern.
