VDI 2715:2011-11

Noises from technical heating systems can result in substantial annoyance in rooms requiring protection (common rooms) and in the vicinity thereof. For this reason, noise reduction measures are required. This guideline presents values of the noise emission in the room where the heat source is installed, in the exhaust duct and at the chimney outlet. It includes suggested measures for noise control in the construction as well as noise-control measures to be considered in the planning and realisation of heating systems. This guideline is intended primarily for designers, component manufacturers, system builders, installation companies, owners and operators.
