The sound measurement outside the apartement

The traffic noise is

increasingfrom right to left.
There are 3 kinds of
street tram.The principal
tram is the one which
connects the other two
and is the most crowded.
During 24 hours, it can
be noted that the
stongest noise is from
10 a.m to 3 p.m.
The most quiet hours
are aftermidnight
until 7 a.m.

 The sound measurement inside the apartment

-space- outside the balcony -space- inside the dormitory -space- entrance in the room -space- bathroom
-intermittent noise - diffuse noise (windows closed) -the noise is almost lost -noise comes only from
-noise level that increases -noise level also increases and ventilation
and decreases rapidly decreases rapidly
The room can sound muffled and even seem a little claustrophobic
without the windows open. Windows are not just about light and
views but also about letting in air and, by implication, the rest -the sound is very heavy
of the world. They are transparent membranes and portals. because of the traffic
Sound may be invisible or only unconsciously perceived, -keeping the widows open
but that doesn’t make it any less an architectural you will hear the noise
material than wood, glass, concrete, stone or light. -also keeping the windows
closed you can still hear
the noise but more diffuse
-the problem with the noise
inside the building is only
because of the windows
- they are very old and
inefficient
 Changes- Windows

Old ones New ones- Salamander 3D

With a construction depth of 76 mm, the attractive 3D Salamander window profile is not only a visual highlight
for every window design, it also opens up the room for one of the most important factors
of human well-being – natural daylight. Fitted with three sealing levels,
the Salamander window system provides the highest level of thermal insulation,

/// 5-chamber profile

/// Central gasket
/// Construction depth: 76 mm
/// Up to Uw = 0.83 W/(m²K)
/// Glazing up to 48 mm
/// Sound insulation: up to 46 dB
/// Burglary resistance class 2
/// Areas of application: Side and
bottom hung windows, tilt and turn windows

The primary downside of inefficient

windows is higher electricity bills,
due to the fact that the home’s climate
control system has to work
harder to compensate for leaks.
Address inefficient windows temporarily
with passive heating and cooling methods
, such as shutting windows and blinds
on hot days and opening them at night,
and by using plastic film
($10 to $20 per five-window roll)
to seal leaks during the winter.
.
Sealing cracks around your windows and reinforcing your home’s insulation,
a more permanent solution, can cost upwards of $1,000.
The ultimate leaky-windows solution is simply to replace old windows
