NewBuilding Acoustics Course Highlights Noise Mea

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Jun 10, 2003

Acoustic and vibration specialist, Bruel and Kjaer, is running a new one-day training course for building designers, architects and engineers.

The course will offer delegates practical advice on optimising their use of building acoustics instrumentation to assess the impact of excessive noise levels in a building.

The Building Acoustics course will explain the theory and measurement of parameters including reverberation time, airborne sound insulation and impact sound insulation.

Measurement of building acoustics is now a fairly quick procedure using real time frequency analysis but the assessment needs to be carried out to recognised standards.

The course will review the relevant standards and feature a practical session covering measurements relating to these standards.

Participants will learn how to set instruments for fast measurement of parameters and assessment of results.

The practical exercises will represent typical measurement situations.

All participants will work through practical measurement exercises and the training is interactive with personal supervision.

The one-day course includes all training material, lunch and coffee breaks.
