AttenuationA (I)28 dB(A)
(II)31 dB(A)
(III)33 dB(A)
(IV)35 dB(A) 36 + (L10 - 80)B dB(A)
N t A Th b it i d ll tt ti l f id ti l d lli d it f ilitNote: A The above composite window-wall attenuation values are for residential dwellings and community facility development. Commercial office spaces and meeting rooms would be 5 dB(A) less in each category. All the above categories require a closed window situation and hence an alternate means of ventilation.
B Required attenuation values increase by 1 dB(A) increments for L10 values greater than 80 dBA.
