Ecologically sustainable design

This research has raised the question of whether the vibration transmission at a wall junction depends on how the wall is excited (by either a sound wave or a mechanical shaker). The aim of this research is to investigate this question and hence contribute to the revision of the series of standards. Villot and Guigou-Carter (2000) have considered this problem but their equations (10) and (13) appear to be in error. This research will endeavour to derive the correct equations and r epeat Villot and Guigou Carter’s calculations.

This research thesis seeks to understand how governments, the legal system and the people responsible for construction can be encouraged to incorporate sustainable design in all building developments. Most important within this research is to question the lack of checks of ESD conducted from the planning permit through to the construction phase or on completion of a building.
