Assessment of Acoustic Quality in Classrooms Based on Measurements, Perception and Noise Control

Abstract

This chapter presents an analysis of the acoustic quality of real classrooms based on in situ measurements and computer simulations of acoustic parameters such as Reverberation Time, Speech Transmission Index, Sound Insulation of Façades, and External and Internal Sound Pressure Levels. This chapter also discusses an assessment of the perception of teachers and students about the acoustic quality of the school environment.
