The development of the AAAC Guideline for Gymnasium & Exercise Facility Assessment and case study information

Association of Australasian Acoustical Consultants (AAAC) member representatives began discussing the need for AAAC guidance on impact noise from gyms in early 2016. This was in the absence of an agreed position or standard assessment criteria. It was identified that in addition to the overall target criteria the Guideline also needed to provide a standardised method to assess and test impacts and to determine compliance as well as guidance on suitable locations for the siting of gyms. This presentation provides an overview of the development of the AAAC Guideline for Gymnasium & Exercise Facility Assessment. The presentation also includes case study information to illustrate the application of the Guideline.
