Where to apply
Urban areas, population centers and where
appropriate areas of the environment
Maps acoustic capacity
Apply to all areas that affect issuers acoustic

Development Plans in the acoustic zones
Where to exceed the sound quality objectives must
develop plans to establish a reasonable time and taking
into account the means to finance them.
If you apply measures can not be avoided compliance
measures must be taken long term and particularly not
broken inside the sensitive uses.

5. Integration of acoustic quality of the planning
Regional Plans
The environmental sustainability report, ISA, territorial
plans subject to environmental assessment must integrate
the acoustic quality objectives
The way these objectives are taken into account in its
preparation and approval.
9
Integration of acoustic quality of the planning
Urban planning
The Plan for Urban Municipal (POUM) and the resulting
planning must integrate the acoustic quality objectives and
how these objectives are taken into account in its
preparation and approval.
New developments
In new residential uses should be in accordance with the
objectives of acoustic quality.
.

6. New Developments
In new buildings if they exceed the quality objectives of
the zone can not be granted new licenses building
intended for sensitive uses not sure if the objectives
applicable to the interior space.
The council should provide adequate insulation for

11
New Developments
The council must ensure that the basic construction of a
new forward, collect the required acoustic quality
objectives and provides the necessary steps for
compliance.
You should also check that these measures are effective
and objectives in the project implementation and in
planning and design stages.
In new buildings if they exceed the quality objectives of
the zone can not be granted new licenses building
intended for sensitive uses not sure if the objectives
applicable to the interior space.

8. Ways to take into account the objectives
Separate
Away from noise sources (industrial, commercial, services, recreation, clubs,
multipurpose halls) in areas with sensitive use of buildings.
15
Ways to take into account the objectives
Separate
Zoom residential areas and noise sensitive uses (use medical, educational,
cultural and natural interest, quiet areas you want to keep silent for tourist
reasons and others) of the sound sources.
16

9. Ways to take into account the objectives
Position
Orienting the buildings and equipment noise in relation to residential areas and
residential
sensitive to noise when using the barrier effect of the building
Exhaust
apparatus
and noisy Insulated walls
on the next to
opposite side sensitive areas
Entrance to the
opposite side
Building noise Residential area
17
Ways to take into account the objectives
Position
Target housing and other buildings sensitive to noise pollution according to the
sources of noise
Terraces and
sensitive
areas along
the calm
Street noise Industrial
Buildings
18

10. Ways to take into account the objectives
Compact
Compact noise and prevent its spreading across the territory.
Better to have a very hierarchical road network with few ways to pass some
half-speed for most residents and inverted priorities, rather than extend a
homogeneous network where vehicles can get anywhere at any speed.
19
Ways to take into account
Protect
Barriers and specks of land
The effectiveness of a barrier or a speck of land is essentially based on their
height, their length and position of the respective source and receiver.
Industrial activity Barrier
Road Mota ground
NOTE: barriers plants are ineffective
A do or a row of trees is inefficient to make the noise barrier. A band of 100 m
wide forest may provide an additional attenuation of 3 to 5 dB (A) in
relation to the attenuation related to the distance.
20

11. Ways to take into account
Isolate
Isolate the noise sources
Whatever the source of noise: industrial, commercial, services, recreation,
clubs, multipurpose rooms or transport infrastructure, the isolation of the
source is always the most effective solution.
Fireplace extraction Insulated wall or
soundproofed and window blinds
oriented in the next to the
opposite housing neighbors
Gateway Local groups or refrigeration
Camera compressors soundproofed.
Placing deflectors to aerate
Building noise Residential area
