BREEAM Hea-05 and Pol-05
BREEAM is a widely recognised sustainability assessment method used to evaluate the performance of buildings in areas such as energy, health, and environmental impact. Hea-05 and Pol-05 specifically address the importance of managing sound within a building and its surrounding environment.
Hea-05 (Acoustic Performance)
Hea-05 (Acoustic Performance) focuses on ensuring that acoustic design is integrated from the early stages of the project. The aim is to create indoor environments that are comfortable, functional, and conducive to health by addressing factors such as sound insulation, internal noise levels and reverberation times. Meeting Hea-05 standards contributes to improved acoustics for all building occupants, ensuring that spaces are free from excessive noise disturbances, which can have adverse effects on both productivity and general wellbeing.
Pol-05 (Noise Attenuation) supports the reduction of noise generated by the development into nearby noise sensitive areas, particularly residential or office spaces. Achieving Pol-05 helps to ensure that the development does not contribute to environmental noise pollution, enhancing the quality of life for those in the surrounding area.
We offer a range of services to guide your project through the complexities of these BREEAM credits, including:
Hea-05 Acoustic Performance Consultancy
Our team will work with you during the design and construction phases to ensure that the acoustic performance of your building meets the requirements for Hea-05. This includes addressing sound insulation, internal noise control, and reverberation times, creating an environment that supports occupant wellbeing and productivity.
Pol-05 Noise Attenuation Support
We assist with the management of external noise sources, helping to minimise noise intrusion into your building. Our services include acoustic surveys, noise modelling, and the integration of effective noise attenuation measures to meet the Pol-05 criteria and reduce the environmental impact of your project.
BREEAM Hea-05 and Pol-05 Compliance Support
Our experts will guide you through the process of gathering the necessary evidence and documentation to ensure compliance with these BREEAM credits. From pre-construction assessments to post-completion testing, we provide ongoing support to maximise your building’s sustainability credentials.
Sustainability and Low Impact Design
By achieving BREEAM Hea-05 and Pol-05 credits, you are not only improving the acoustics within your building but also contributing to a sustainable, low-impact design. These credits are an integral part of creating buildings that are environmentally responsible, energy-efficient, and considerate of both occupant health and the surrounding community.
