Nor850 Building Acoustics (ISO 16283)
Nor850 module for field building acoustics per ISO 16283.
Overview
The Nor850 Building Acoustics ISO 16283 module is a specialized add-on for the Nor850 Reporting Software platform, providing comprehensive analysis and reporting for field building acoustics measurements. The module covers all three parts of ISO 16283: airborne sound insulation (Part 1), impact sound insulation (Part 2), and facade sound insulation (Part 3), with automated single-number rating cal…
Key Features
- ISO 16283 Parts 1, 2, and 3 for airborne, impact, and facade testing
- Automated single-number rating calculation per ISO 717
- Spectrum adaptation terms C and Ctr for low-frequency assessment
- Airborne sound insulation: DnT,w, Rw with spectrum adaptation
- Impact sound insulation: L'nT,w with spectrum adaptation
- Facade sound insulation: Dls,2m,nT,w calculation
- Background noise correction per ISO 16283 requirements
- Low-frequency procedure support per ISO 16283-1 Annex A
Applications
- Residential building pre-completion sound insulation testing

Frequently Asked Questions
- What types of building acoustics tests are supported?
The module supports all three parts of ISO 16283: airborne sound insulation between rooms (Part 1), impact sound insulation of floors (Part 2), and facade sound insulation against outdoor noise (Part 3). Each part includes automated calculations and professional reporting. - Does it calculate single-number ratings?
Yes, it calculates weighted single-number ratings (Rw, DnT,w, L'nT,w) with spectrum adaptation terms (C, Ctr) per ISO 717. These ratings are the primary criteria used in building codes and construction specifications across the GCC. - Can I assess results against building code requirements?
Yes, the module supports pass/fail assessment against specified building code requirements. You can define target values for each partition type and the software automatically flags results that do not meet the specified criteria.
