Il comfort abitativo è spesso associato al comfort termico, trascurando un’altra componente fondamentale, il comfort acustico. Questa tematica sta assumendo una rilevanza crescente all’interno del panorama edilizio, come dimostra l’aumento della sensibilità della normativa europea nei confronti dell’acustica residenziale. L’inquinamento acustico, infatti, si affianca all’inquinamento ambientale esogeno tradizionalmente riconosciuto, rappresentando una sfida significativa soprattutto in città sempre più caotiche. In questo contesto, la ricerca di soluzioni che garantiscano il comfort acustico è diventata cruciale per migliorare le qualità della vita e del benessere individuale. Il bisogno di spazi abitativi adeguatamente isolati dai rumori esterni è oggi più pressante che mai, specialmente per rispondere alla necessità di tranquillità e privacy al termine di una lunga giornata lavorativa. Lo studio affronta la legislazione vigente in materia d’isolamento acustico, alla ricerca di un’adeguata protezione dai disturbi sonori. L’obiettivo della tesi è analizzare la normativa odierna ed i parametri da essa richiesti, studiare soluzioni tecnologiche attraverso metodi di calcolo e fornire un’applicazione in un caso studio reale attraverso strategie d’intervento aventi lo scopo di migliorare le prestazioni acustiche degli edifici esistenti; contribuendo così a una maggiore privacy, salubrità e qualità dell’ambiente abitativo.
Requisiti acustici passivi delle unità abitative, soluzioni tecniche sostenibili e tecnologie odierne. Analisi critico applicativa della normativa a un caso studio.

Abstract
Housing comfort is often associated with thermal comfort, neglecting another fundamental component: acoustic comfort. This issue is gaining increasing importance in the construction sector, as evidenced by the growing sensitivity of European regulations towards residential acoustics. Noise pollution, in fact, now parallels traditionally recognized environmental pollution, posing a significant challenge, particularly in increasingly chaotic urban areas. In this context, the search for solutions that ensure acoustic comfort has become crucial to improving quality of life and individual well-being. The need for living spaces adequately insulated from external noise is more pressing than ever, especially to meet the demand for tranquility and privacy after a long working day. This study addresses the current legislation regarding sound insulation, seeking adequate protection from noise disturbances. The aim of the thesis is to analyze today’s regulations and the parameters they require, examine technological solutions through calculation methods, and provide an application in a real case study using intervention strategies aimed at improving the acoustic performance of existing buildings, thereby contributing to greater privacy, health, and quality of the living environment.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
