Grolimund + Partner examines the noise protection measures of all 15 projects entered in the architectural competition

Noise protection right from the start - GBMZ Settlement 6 "Stüdli

On March 21, 2019, the Gemeinnützige Bau- und Mietergenossenschaft Zürich (GBMZ) has chosen the winner of the architectural competition for the replacement building of settlement 6 "Stüdi".

Grolimund + Partner AG accompanied the competition along the busy Hohlstrasse from the beginning with regard to noise protection. In a first phase, the noise pollution without the existing settlement was calculated and presented, and based on this, different development variants were evaluated with regard to noise protection. Based on this, the competition regulations regarding noise were finally formulated in cooperation with the authorities. Within the framework of the competition, Grolimund + Partner AG examined the 15 projects submitted for compliance with the regulations and assessed the noise protection advantages and disadvantages.

Due to the early inclusion of the noise issue, it was possible to ensure that the competition entries complied with the environmental regulations according to the specifications of the authorities and that they could be approved in principle with regard to noise. Especially in noisy locations, there will be no way around this procedure in the future.

1 HP, 2 HP is good! But is 100 HP still good?

Noise and exceedances of permissible limits are highly relevant issues of great importance, especially when it comes to public health. In this context, the analysis of noise generated by the installation of outdoor heat pumps (HPs) in densely populated neighbourhoods is crucial. Fundamental questions arise such as "If all homeowners decide to install a heat pump, is there not a risk of exceeding the permissible limits in the neighbourhood?". Expertise is needed to answer these questions. G+P, an expert in noise protection, is your ideal partner.

How sustainable are low-noise road surfaces?

Low-noise road surfaces are an established measure for noise protection at source, as they reduce road noise emissions over the entire service life of the road. However, their shorter service life results in higher costs for developers and increases their ecological footprint from construction activity. How do these advantages and disadvantages weigh up in a holistic comparative analysis?
