Acoustic Design and Simulation for indoor and outdoor spaces Predicting the sound field in spaces in the build environment, both indoors and outdoors, is of high importance in the field of acoustics, both in design and construction environments. In the industry, prediction methods are indispensable, for example in the development of acoustic related products. Also, […]
Acoustic Value Rw for Building Materials Rw index : The Rw index or sound reduction index (expressed in decibels) measures, in just one number, the acoustic performance of a specific unit. The higher the Rw index, the better the level of acoustic insulation offered by that composition. For instance, the Rw index of ordinary double
Acoustic Laminated Glass .. A combination of large thickness, different one between the two panes and wide air space distance (even better if we use laminated glass) provides the maximum noise attenuation. We can reach up to 45dB. Combined effect of glass thickness and air space on the acoustic performance of double glazing. Source: Detailing for
Acoustic Properties of Glass The sound attenuation of any material depends on its mass, stiffness and damping characteristics. With a single glass pane the only effective way to increase its performance is to increase the thickness, because stiffness and damping cannot be changed. The sound transmission loss for a single glass pane, measured over a
Multi Purpose Halls in History Along the history, specific building designs have been developed for some specific functions. Musical events were carried out in the prom halls and with the rising attention on music special building types were started to be designed for musical functions. Foundation of the new designs obviously based on the prom
