Abstract

The Province of Ontario has taken a leading position with regard to the control of both indoor and outdoor noise levels on new residential developments. Some of the noise control methods in use offer definite possibilities for both energy conservation and solar energy collection. Other methods have opposite effects and increase energy consumption. This interdisciplinary paper examines both areas, pointing out where energy conservation can be very easily accomplished simultaneously with noise control, and also examining methods of handling both concerns even when they have opposing influences.
