The KS of “Measurements of impact sound insulation of floors” was established before the years. But the KS of “Rating of floor impact sound insulation for impact source in building and of building elements” is not founded yet. To establish the rating measurement of floor impact sound insulation. The studies on the rating method of domestic floor system of impact sound insulation and response of its inhabitant’s were reviewed. And the rating method of ISO’s and JIS’s were studied in this consideration. The result of this study, KS of “Rating of floor impact sound insulation for impact source in building and of building elements” is proposed.

In this study, we compared and analyzed the floor impact sound insulation performance produced by the rating methods. The rating methods are using reversed A-weighting curve, A-weighted sound pressure levels and arithmetic average. On-site floor impact sound pressure levels of living room and room are measured. The results of this study are 1)the rating using reversed A-weighting curve for heavy-weight impact sound's standard deviation is lower than that of light-weight impact sound, 2)the number of rating using A-weighted sound pressure levels and arithmetic average is larger than that of using reversed A-weighting curve, and 3)the number of rating using reversed A-weighting curve mainly depends on impact sound pressure level of 63Hz in heavy-weight impact sound.

This study aims to examine the existing single rating index in terms of level reduction limit of heavy-weight floor impact sound. To achieve this goal, sounds which have same loudness according to rating methods were suggested to subjects. And followings are results. 1) The rating method of measurement frequency level average is more suitable than that of other methods which are dependent on specific frequency for rating heavy-weight floor impact sound. 2) Level average for measurement frequency of 31.5Hz - 500Hz is more correspondent to psycho-acoustic response than that of measurement frequency of 63Hz - 500Hz which is for KS F 2863-2, existing rating method.

In this study, we compared and analyzed the floor impact noise insulation performance produced by the rating methods. The rating methods are using reversed A-weighting curve, A-weighted sound pressure levels(dB(A)). The results of this study are(1)dB(A) by the specified frequency is 0.5dB(A) at light weight and 2.5dB(A) at heavy weight upper than all pass dB(A)(2)the rating using reversed A-weighting curve is 5dB lower than dB(A)(3)the number of rating using reversed A-weighting curve mainly depends on impact noise pressure level of 63Hz in heavy weight but dB(A) does not.

In measuring, uncertainty in measurement is essential to improve measuring reliability. Currently, however, in measuring impact sound insulation of floors, there are no guidelines to estimate uncertainty in measurement. In addition, the concept of uncertainty in rating is required to recognize the relation between measuring and rating. Therefore, through this paper, the efforts have been made to establish uncertainty in measurement and rating of light impact insulation of floors. The result of estimating of uncertainty in measurement and rating in our laboratory is considered reliable, considering ${\pm}0.46{\sim}1.44dB$ of uncertainty in measurement and 1 dB of uncertainty in rating.

Heavy-weight floor impact sound insulation performance criteria have been effective in Korea since the regulation which enforces the standard thickness of slabs in domestic apartment houses should be constructed by 180mm or 210mm was adopted. But every slab does not satisfy this criteria. So, review on existing floor impact sound insulation performance is needed to propose some basic materials for the revision of rating method. To achieve this goal, 63 field test data were checked and analyzed. The results of this study are as follows ; 1) The 210mm thickness slab has the characteristics of deeper level decrease above 120Hz frequency band than that of 180mm thickness slab's. 2) 27.5% of 180mm thickness slabs were satisfied the floor impact sound insulation performance criteria, whereas 65% of 210mm slabs do. 3) Among the main contribution frequency bands for the determination of single rating index, 63Hz was shown as the most contributive band in 210mm slabs. 4) In comparison of single rating index between bang machine test and ball test. there is a big difference between the two and this phenomenon is frequent in 210mm slab results. 5) Rating Methods for the analysis of cross-correlation between the amount of rating, the usefulness of the arithmetic mean could be secured.

Because energy consumption of the construction part is very high, there is a growing need to introduce environment-friendly buildings. Therefore Green Building Rating System is enacted in Korea. Though environment-friendly factors such as green area affect the apartment housing price, there's no saying whether Green Building Rating System directly affect the apartment housing price. The purpose of this paper is to estimate the impact of Green Building Rating System on an apartment housing price. The analysis result demonstrated that Green Building Rating System don't affect the apartment housing price. This result means that there is a problem with the effectiveness of Green Building Rating System. The government ought to institute incentive program to ctivate the market of environment-friendly building.

In the previous test, the verification of the standard floor impact source was carried out comparing the physical characteristics with living impact sources. The result was appeared the validation of the standard impact source was very low because of differences of physical characteristics. This study aims to evaluate annoyance and loudness of standard impact source which is used for the measurement of floor impact sound, and to compare the annoyance and loudness of living impact sources which are produced in real life. The impact sources considered are tapping machine, tire and impact ball as standard sources, and nine real sources which were chosen from the existing researches. The result showed differences of annoyance and loudness between standard impact sources and living impact sources, which means the standard impact sources may rate the performance of floor system inappropriately. In the future, the rating method should be examined how the standard impact sources are similar with real sources in the point of rating the performance of floor system.

In this study, the satisfaction rating to the floor impact sound was investigated for the residents in the apartment Building where the business scheme had been approved after 2005. The results are compared with existing research. The questionnaire survey was conducted to the 597 residents in 14 apartments complex which were applied with standard floor structure and approval floor structure. Most of respondents(71.1 %) answered that the performance of floor impact sound insulation, in case of standard floor structure, was improved compared to the apartments where they used to live. Comparing with the questionnaire survey result of existing research, the answered ratio of 'less annoyed' and 'less loud' is somewhat increased.
