Ceiling fan acoustics: focus on the NF Habitat HQE label<\/h2>\n

The arrival of the ceiling fan in RE2020 has prompted several home builders to ask us about the noise levels to be achieved under the label.<\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=”25px” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”gcid-70ff693f-6f97-4074-be90-9adb196c4afe” header_4_font=”|600|||||||” custom_margin=”||15px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-70ff693f-6f97-4074-be90-9adb196c4afe%22:%91%22header_3_text_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n

The October 2021 construction standards available here<\/a> do not give specific written values for the noise level of ceiling fans. However, it does indicate[1]<\/a>, for the noise level of “other individual heating and air-conditioning appliances”, a sound pressure level (LnAT) less than or equal to 35 dB(A) in main rooms and 30 dB(A) in bedrooms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At maximum speed, most ceiling fans on the market reach a noise level of between 35 and 45 dB(A)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In these conditions, it seemed essential to obtain from the certifying body[2]<\/a>, the framework given to auditors concerning ceiling fans.<\/p>\n

So we contacted CERQUAL, and here’s the written response we received.<\/p>\n
