Introduction
The increasing impact of external noise in urban areas necessitates a focus on maintaining acoustic comfort within buildings. The sound insulation of building envelopes, especially windows, plays a pivotal role in mitigating indoor noise, particularly in areas near roads, airports, or industrial facilities. This case study delves into a research article that explores the challenge of designing windows with higher acoustic insulation values and presents a hybrid method for assessing the contribution of glazing and window frame insulation to the weighted sound reduction index (Rw).
