Resort

The acoustic firm Tisseyre + Associés has developed a joint working methodology with the architect. Indeed, in this hotel complex with multiple noise constraints (noise from human activities, nuisance from transport and airways) it is essential to be able to model a soundscape in the future state of completion in order to integrate acoustic protection in the architectural project and participate in the allocation of buildings within the complex. Without anticipation or collaboration, the risk would be to resort to maximalist, costly and architecturally engaging acoustic protection.

Creating a cohesive soundscape

The BIMAE – Environmental Acoustic BIM made it possible to model a soundscape in the future state of completion hour by hour. Thus, depending on the hypotheses of road traffic and frequentation of places of activity (outdoor pools and restaurants), observation measurements and a statistical approach, we modeled their sound impacts at the foot and in front of the different hotels. . This modeling occurring from the study phase has made it possible to design optimized acoustic protection integrated into the architecture. Therefore, we have worked to create a cohesive and balanced soundscape.

Noise from human activities

Transport noise

Acoustic protection from airport noise

Aqaba airport is located 6km from the hotel complex and on the flight axis, it is therefore exposed to aircraft noise. Tisseyre + Associés has adopted a statistical approach to consolidate its compliance measures. Indeed, the measurements alone do not make it possible to take into account the variability of the flight plans and can therefore lead to the installation of unsuitable acoustic protection. Consequently, a comparison of the measurements observed with the exposure statistics of sites similar to that of Aqaba enabled us to ensure the reliability of the protections.
