Heat pumps

The heat pump as a sound source

In the context of a planning application procedure, the noise immissions emanating from a planned air-to-water heat pump are to be assessed by the Office for the Environment in accordance with Annex 6 of the Noise Abatement Ordinance (LSV), LGBl. 2008 No. 253. An assessment is carried out in a first step on the basis of a noise certificate heat pump external noise, which is to be submitted by the builder together with the building application.
