As of the 2018.i version, AcoubatBIM by CYPE allows users to define sources of outdoor noise, which generally correspond to the equipment installed in the building. A product from the Acoubat database can be assigned to each type of source and users must indicate the type of noise of the machine, depending on the classes defined in the general parameters of the project.
For each outdoor equipment set, users must indicate the distance between the source and the closest enclosure of each affected space (r). Depending on the surfaces close to the source, the value of the directivity factor (Q) of the machine must be established.
