Room Acoustics
Room acoustics: reverberation time, speech intelligibility and absorption strategies for offices, schools, sports halls and event spaces.
Not the sound between rooms but the sound in them: whether people can understand each other.
Where it matters
- Offices, particularly open plan
- Schools, nurseries and lecture theatres
- Sports halls and swimming pools
- Canteens, foyers and event spaces
Services
Reverberation time calculation, assessment of speech intelligibility, an absorption strategy specifying areas and materials, and acoustic measurement in the completed space where required.
Early enough
Room acoustics can be retrofitted, but then visibly and expensively: suspended rafts, wall absorbers, ceiling elements. Designed into the fit-out, the same area disappears into the ceiling and wall build-ups.
