摘要:The article reflects the opinion that the choice of optimal engineering solution to ensure acoustic comfort in a specific urban or rural area should be based, first of all, on the use of two criteria: environmental efficiency and energy efficiency. The article proposes using, along with environmental efficiency, an additional optimization criterion - energy efficiency of the process for modern conditions of multi-criteria selection of engineering solutions in the field of providing acoustic comfort (ecological safety) in urban and rural areas. The article gives a justification for the need to apply the criterion of energy efficiency in this area and also presents the results of the obtained mathematical dependencies.
