Acoustics. Provide means to manage building acoustics by proper
selection of construction assemblies and finishes. Refer to pages 4.7 through
4.45 of Time Saver Standards for Architectural Design Data and NAVFAC DM-1.03,
Architectural Acoustics. Analyze and control the acoustical properties of
construction assemblies by modifying room acoustics through control of
reverberation (absorption) and attenuating structure-borne sound from exterior
sources, interior sources between rooms, and equipment generating sound
(isolation). Provide the following room noise levels:
