AS ISO 717.2:2024 identically adopts ISO 717 2:2020, which provides a method whereby the frequency dependent values of impact sound insulation of building elements and in buildings (from both laboratory and field measurements) can be converted into a single number to characterize the acoustical performance

AS ISO 717.1:2024 identically adopts ISO 717 1:2020, which provides a method whereby the frequency dependent values of airborne sound insulation of building elements and in buildings (from both laboratory and field measurements) can be converted into a single number to characterize the acoustical performance

The objective of this rapid review is to locate and summarise published peer-reviewed review papers, where possible, relating to the retention of biodiversity on private land in urban areas; the main question that this rapid review answers is “How can urban development support biodiversity retention on private lands?”

This paper presents various indicators that track the performance of the construction sector.

Sustainable building design should consider durability, affordability, resource conservation, intra and intergenerational social equity aspects, and stakeholder’s perspective throughout its service life; this research has applied life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) framework to estimate the sustainability performance in terms of a single score, and to identify avenues for sustainability improvement strategies of buildings.

This paper examines sustainable environmental solutions in domestic plumbing.

This report considers the research conducted previously on the current methods for sizing sanitary plumbing and drainage systems used within Australia and takes into account industry observations to propose improvements to these methods

Defines and provides methods for determining single number quantities for the impact sound insulation in buildings; this Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 717-2:1996.

Provides a method whereby the frequency dependent values of airborne sound insulation of building elements and in building can be converted into a single number characterizing the acoustical performance; this Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 717-1:1996.

Adopts ISO 140-7:1998 with national modifications to specify field methods for the measuring the impact sound insulation properties of building floors by using a standard tapping machine; this method is applicable bare floors and also to floor with coverings.
