Abstract
In response to the increasing awareness of environmental issues in relation to building projects, the building developers volunteered to develop a building environmental assessment method to self regulate the environmental impacts to the global, local and indoor environment of the buildings in Hong Kong (HK-BEAM [1,2]). This method does not intend to take the place of the conventional or functional criteria of design. The classical noise control criteria are reviewed. A set of assessment criteria is determined for the outdoor and indoor noise environment respectively, both during construction and post occupancy. This paper discusses the rational of the choice.
