Description
Acoustic comfort is a subjective concept that depends on several factors, ones inherent to the subject and others related to the type of environment and activity. This research aims at analyzing the different parameters that affect the feeling of acoustic comfort in order to define an indicator that allows to assess said perception. This study is conducted for several environments (classrooms, restaurants, pubs, shops, etc.) using other indicators.Other information
Number of researchers:
3
Development status:
In research and development phase
Differentiation in the market:
Quality
Applicability of technology:
Yes
Companies and markets:
Acoustic engineering, environmental, architecture and industrial sectors. In the architecture field, both manufacturers of building materials and all the actors involved in the construction process. Local/regional/national administrations may be interested in the work developed by the research group, as one of its strengths is precisely its compliance with the legislation on acoustics in buildings. Local/regional/national administrations may also be interested in the work developed by the research group on environmental acoustics, since most of this field's legislation is recent and the European directive related to environmental noise management is facing changes. Its publication is imminent and it will bring about regulatory, legislative and technological changes in the assessment tools.
Advantages:
Information and awareness.
