PERFORMANCE CONCEPT IN CASE OF INSULATION SYSTEMS INTENDED FOR VIBRATORY AND SEISMIC MOTIONS

Abstract

This paper presents the final results of the research carried out by ICECON Bucharest. Thus, taking into account the interior comfort, the categories of installation equipment providing the building functionality as well as water and thermal energy supplying systems are analyzed. In this case, the above mentioned categories of installation equipment are framed into construction embedded equipment and should be in accordance with noise and vibration requirements expressed by limit values stated by the European Directives 89/106/EC (construction products) and 42/2006/EC (machinery). Basing on the essential requirements stated in the Directives regarding health and safety, interior comfort related to noise and vibration, as well as building safety and stability, this paper deals with the vibration insulation concept and the permissible level expressed by the insulation degree.
