Mejoramiento de las condiciones de confort acústico para vivienda mediante paneles fabricados a partir de residuo textil

Abstract

Noise pollution represents a significant challenge in urban areas such as Bogotá, where the limits allowed by national and international regulations are exceeded, affecting the health of residents of industrialized housing. These structures present additional acoustic deficiencies due to their construction materials. The general objective of this research was to develop an acoustic insulation system using industrial waste materials to improve the acoustic comfort in these dwellings. The methodology adopted included the characterization of waste, the consolidation of acoustic panel prototypes and the measurement of their efficiency. In addition, an assembly system was designed to implement these panels and thus address the problem of noise pollution in housing. The results revealed that the panels made from textile waste proved to be the most acoustically efficient, with good performance in acoustics, physical resistance and fire performance laboratories. In conclusion, the acoustic insulation system developed shows satisfactory performance against extreme city and neighborhood noise. In addition, its innovative mounting system optimizes the available space in the houses. This work represents a significant advance in the search for sustainable and effective solutions to mitigate the harmful effects of noise pollution in urban environments.
