Before you use it

Best for: Adding mapped barrier geometry to a separate noise model or context map.

Limits: Barrier geometry alone does not prove acoustic performance or predict indoor exposure.

Useful as context or an input to a separate model. A mapped barrier does not prove its sound reduction or predict indoor noise.
