Sloped Panel Wall

Wall Type 1

Analysis

Utilizing our inhouse software development capabilities, we were able to custom tailor a set of procedures to study geometrical characteristics of the sloped wall system. The images to the right are a sampling of these analysis. It estimates the warpage for the structural framing and galvanized back pans as well as the stainless steel cladding panels. They depict initial geometry and the subsequent subdivisions to create individual unit and panel discretization. It is our intent to use these tool to further optimize the final geometry to establish a more robust and economical solution to the panel system.

Table 4 - Noise Criteria Rating

Figure 8 - SPL Measurements of Building Exterior APPENDIX G - SM&W Measured Train Noise

Wall Type WT-3 Outside / Inside Noise Analysis

Wall type WT-3 encloses the east, northeast and southeast faces of the building. As such it is directly subjected to noise caused by the elevated train, which is located within 60’ of the building facade. The curtainwall design adapts a very efficient double skin envelop to mitigated the excessive noise levels caused by the train traffic.

A series of in situ test were conducted by “SM&W Acoustical Consultants” and was submitted as part of the contract documents. These results were employed in the report.

Although, the most accurate way of estimating the sound pressure level inside the building, is to perform field mock-up tests, it is possible to use an approximated procedure to compute the facade’s noise ingress.

The noise level in a room due to sound penetrating a façade element may be calculated according to BS EN 12354-3 and BS 8233 from:

L2=L1- R + 10Log(S/V) + 10Log(T) + 11

Where:

• L2 = noise level in room dB• L1 = external free field noise dB.• R = sound reduction index dB• S = area of façade portion, m2.• V = room volume, m3

• T = reverberation time, s.

In this report typical field measurements from each of the three noise conditions (ambient vehicular traffic, northbound and southbound train traffic) were used

to estimate the room noise level for a typical room of 20’ wide by 20’ deep, adjacent to the curtainwall type WT-3 (14’-9” high). A reverberation time of 0.5 seconds was used to simulate the interior conditions.

The resulting sound spectra for the room interior is then plotted over the standard NC-curves (see figure 9).

The appropriate NC designation is then estimated. This designation can be compared to the recommend NC-curves for different types of spaces (see table

4), to asses the performance of the exterior envelope. It is concluded that even for the most severe sound pressure levels (northbound train) the system performs in a satisfactory manner (NC-30 to NC-35).

It is again important, to note that these results have a confidence level of +/- 3 points.

Some of the facade is directly subjected to noise caused by the elevated train, which is located within 60’ of the building facade.

ATS performed tests and calculations to determine the appropriate design solutions in order to meet STC and OITC acoustic standards for the interior program.

DRIVERS OF CHANGE

Aesthetic considerations remain the dominant drivers.

Performance has yet to emerge as a prominent driver of building and building facade implementation.

There is much more change to come!
