136 - Simplified method to estimate reverberation time in dwellings
Meza L., Recuero M.
Abstract
This research presents a simplified model to obtain reverberation time in furnished rooms in dwellings. Using the results of the reverberation time obtained durin and 'in situ' measurement campaign, a mean value was obtained in function of the room volume and use. The results obtained from the acoustic measures show that the rooms with parallelepiped shape, increase the reverberation time with the volume. This does not happen in rooms with irregular shape. In general, the reverberation time decreases when the frequency increases. This research allows to predict the reverberation time for each frecuency band in function of the room’s volume.
