Abstract

Noise generated during elevator operation in high-rise residential buildings has a significant impact on the healthy and sustainable building environment of residents. However, there is still no clear standard for the measurement method. There are other international standards other than ISO 16032 on how to measurement elevator noise, but this standard relates to general construction equipment. In particular, it is not suitable as a method to measure elevator noise because it was proposed without considering the situation of modern high-rise residential buildings. In this study, by reflecting the characteristics of the elevator as a noise source and the structural characteristics of modern high-rise residential buildings, improvement measures were proposed for the elevator noise measurement conditions in ISO 16032, which are cited as their own standards in many countries including Korea. As an improvement plan, it contains information on elevator operating conditions, measurement frequency bands, evaluation unit, and measurement locations. As a result of applying these four improvement measures, it was verified that the elevator noise of modern high-rise residential buildings can be appropriately measured, unlike the existing partial elevator noise measurement method in ISO 16032.
