Abstract

Impact of traffic noise on buildings is becoming more and more serious in a big city. It is found that a suitable urban planning and design could reduce its impact. Shenzhen International Low Carbon Eco-city is a low-density place with a mixed land-use function only having one main road. It will be transformed into an eco-city according to the Shenzhen Master Plan. Aiming at to be a low carbon-emission area, noise attenuation has to be taken into account to implement nature ventilation. Proper planning and design techniques are considered at the design stage for controlling noise. Two standards are applied to noise control in this study. Finally, feasible design approaches to control noise are developed based on noise mapping analyses.
