Revision of the CIBSE Guides - An acoustician's view of the evolution

摘要

In all, the valuable information presented in the latest CIBSE Guides B4 and Al should be seen as a significant step up compared with their immediate predecessors, particularly where previously unearthed building service noise and vibration test data and guidance, has now been made available for the first time which includes a vastly updated set of references. It is worth noting at the conclusion that, based on previous experience, CIBSE Guides are not revised on a "regular" basis (ie. typically every 10 to 11 years). Therefore, the intention stands that the current offerings should remain as widely adopted by all building services designers, both in the UK and overseas, for many years to come just as their predecessors did once before.
