Acoustic engineering from WSP for room acoustics
We use calculation models in the acoustic engineering of indoor spaces and in measuring their acoustic properties (reverberation times and speech transmission indices). The acoustic properties of indoor spaces are designed to correspond to the room’s intended purpose and to meet the requirements of building regulations and recommendations. Acoustic measurements are designed to assess the acoustic properties of existing premises, and based on these measurements we then give recommendations for improving acoustics.
Examples of room acoustics engineering projects:
- Acoustic engineering and dimensioning of public premises such as lecture rooms, concert halls, cinemas and sports centres
- Establishing existing acoustic properties by means of measurements or calculation models
- Auralisation, i.e. listening to sounds in a simulated environment
- Structural engineering with a view to improving acoustics
Building acoustic engineering and indoor noise measurements
Building acoustic engineering involves dimensioning the sound insulation properties of different structures to suit the intended purpose of the building. Measurements help us to establish whether the structures fulfil the set sound insulation requirements. Indoor noise measurements are carried out to estimate the propagation of noise from outside or to estimate the effects of indoor noise sources on indoor sound levels.
Examples of building acoustic engineering projects:
- Dimensioning the sound insulation of structures in residential buildings and public premises
- Measuring indoor noise levels
- Measuring the sound insulation of structures
- Calculating and simulating the sound insulation of structures
- Structural engineering to improve sound insulation
