![]() | Aims: To provide a theoretical grounding that will enable students to strengthen the link between theory and design of acoustics in buildings. Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of the Unit students will have demonstrated: * A comprehensive understanding of the analytical methods and practical techniques for the acoustic design of buildings and external noise environment. * The ability to independently assess the performance of the internal acoustic environment. Skills: Ability to analyse and modify the internal acoustic environment (taught, facilitated and assessed). Content: Room acoustics: introduction to the decibel, sound propagation, sound in rooms, absorption, reverberation time and room acoustic design. External noise environment Noise control: sound insulation by partitions, cavity constructions in masonry, glass and light-weight materials, acoustics properties of building envelopes, practical solutions and current legislation. |
