Building Bulletin 93 – Acoustic Design of Schools (BB93)

BB93 - Acoustic Design of Schools is the standard that deals with the building and modification of school buildings and is mandatory within Building Regulations Approved Document E (2003) requirement E4:

“Each room or other space in a school building shall be designed and constructed in such a way that it has the acoustic conditions and the insulation against disturbance by noise appropriate to its intended use.”

The key acoustic performance standards covered under Building Bulletin 93 include:

  • Indoor ambient noise levels
  • Airborne sound insulation
  • Impact sound insulation
  • Reverberation times
  • Sound absorption
  • Speech intelligibility

MSAFE can provide both acoustic design services to ensure the building achieves the appropriate performance standards required as well as post-construction acoustic testing to demonstrate compliance to Building Control and the client.
