Noise and Vibration Control in the Built Environment offers a comprehensive overview of the principles, strategies, and applications used to manage noise and vibration in architectural and urban spaces. It explores common sources such as traffic, mechanical systems, HVAC units, and construction activities, and presents effective design solutions involving soundproofing materials, structural configurations, spatial planning, and simulation tools. The book also discusses the impact of noise and vibration on human health, productivity, and quality of life, along with relevant international standards and measurement techniques. This resource is essential for architects, building engineers, urban planners, and researchers aiming to create acoustically optimized environments.
