DGUV regulation 82 §6 building and room acoustics:
In rooms as well as in indoor common areas of daycares, building and room acoustics requirements must be met according to the intended use.
DGUV regulation 102-002:
In rooms as well as in indoor common areas of daycares, building and room acoustics requirements must be met according to the intended use.
Effective measures to reduce the overall noise level require compliance with the requirements of structural sound insulation.
A good speech intelligibility is achieved through acoustic construction measures. Lower reverberation times result in better speech intelligibility for all children. Rooms used by children with impaired hearing or by children for whom the language used is a foreign language must meet increased building and room acoustic requirements.
