starlab
Sound Technology and Architecture Laboratory

STARLAB focusses on the study of problems relating to the field of building, architectural and environmental acoustics, with the aim of testing the properties of innovative materials and products and providing support to public and private bodies. The activities include: the acoustic characterisation of innovative materials and products such as recycled materials, elastic materials for flooring insulation, 3D features, the study of the soundproofing characteristics of doors, locks and containers, including the acoustic bridges linked to their installation methods; the study of acoustic bridges relating to the systems layouts.
This expertise is provided to research bodies, including INRIM (‘Galileo Ferraris’ National Institute of Metrological Research), ITC-CNR (Institute for Construction Technologies – National Research Council) and CSTB in Grenoble (Scientific and Technical Center for Building), in addition to companies in the materials industry that propose innovative solutions in the field of architectural acoustics.
