Acoustics refers to the study of sound and hearing in the interior and exterior spaces of the building. One of the importance of designing the building structure is to comply with the sound and acoustic conditions in the interior spaces of the building. If the acoustic conditions in a building are not properly observed, it can negatively affect the behavior and mood of the residents and users of the building.
Factors such as the height of the ceiling, dimensions and shape of the space, the material of the walls and floors, the type of windows and doors, the type of equipment inside the space, lighting and other things, affect the acoustic conditions of the space.
Acoustic systems include different types of acoustic engineering systems that are used in building structure design to improve the sound and acoustic conditions of indoor spaces. These systems include such things as the design of ceilings and walls, the type of floor covering, the design of sound absorbers and sound data, the appropriate selection of audio equipment, and the installation of air conditioning systems with low noise and high efficiency.
In addition to causing discomfort to residents, unwanted and unwanted sounds can negatively affect people's quality of life and efficient productivity through increased stress, cancer, and sleep disturbance. Therefore, acoustics is very important in the design of the building structure and makes the building structure as a sound environment, providing comfort and convenience to its occupants and users. In building structure design, acoustics is used in two important areas:
Reduction of transmitted sound: This area includes issues related to the reduction of sound that is transmitted from one environment to another, for example, a loud sound that is transmitted from one room to another. In this area, materials such as sound insulation, sound gates and conjugate windows are used to reduce sound.
Improving indoor acoustics: This area includes issues related to improving sound quality inside a confined space. For example, in a conference room, it is better to specify the voice of the mobile phone or the voice of the speaker for the participants. In this area, materials such as ceiling design with suitable curves, audio posters, soft floors and conjugated windows are used.
