Aim: To practice analysis and solving acoustic problems in a building project, in which the acoustic considerations need to be coordinated with architectural and other technical demands. Emphasis is put on the cooperation process between architect and engineer - including how the engineer communicate hers/his knowledge to a non-engineer.
Contents: Each engineering student act as acoustic consultant for a student in architecture, who carry out an acoustically interesting project. Based on the expected use of the building and relevant legislation acoustic goals are formulated. The placing of the building on the site and the lay out of the different rooms are examined considering external and internal noise sources. Constructions needed for obtaining sufficient sound insulation and sufficient low noise levels from traffic and technical installations. In larger rooms (e.g. concert halls and theatres), with special room acoustic requirements the room geometry, placing of listeners, sound distribution, reverberation time, choise of surface materials etc. are treated by means of a computer simulation program "Odeon". Also design of a loudspeaker installation can be considered.
