class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Architectural acoustics<\/strong>&nbsp;is a branch of architecture that combines scientific and engineering knowledge to achieve good sound within the building.<\/p>\n<p>Its objective is, therefore, the study of the design of homes and buildings to obtain optimal acoustic performance.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve this, architectural acoustics studies what happens with sound waves from the moment they leave the source until they reach the audience, as well as the acoustic properties of the construction materials used and their impact on the overall acoustics of the space.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve this, the architect uses the design of a building\u2019s physical elements (for example, walls and floors) to reduce noise and echo, improve speech intelligibility, minimize reverberation and\/or create an atmosphere through open or protected spaces with particular acoustic properties.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_it_important\"><\/span>Why is it important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The idea of acoustic performance in architecture is to create a space that sounds good.<\/p>\n<p>It can even be seen as a branch of&nbsp;<strong>environmental architecture<\/strong>, which seeks to integrate sustainability into construction, through spaces committed to human quality and environmental care.<\/p>\n<p>This approach of designing spaces that sound good has many benefits:<\/p>\n<p>\u2714\ufe0f Acoustic correction in&nbsp;<strong>noisy environments<\/strong>&nbsp;(such as factories)<\/p>\n<p>\u2714\ufe0f Enhance acoustics in&nbsp;<strong>quiet environments<\/strong>&nbsp;(such as libraries)<\/p>\n<p>\u2714\ufe0f Improved&nbsp;<strong>speech intelligibility<\/strong>&nbsp;in spaces designed to accommodate many people.<\/p>\n<p>\u2714\ufe0f Improvement of&nbsp;<strong>sound transmission<\/strong>&nbsp;in auditoriums, classrooms and other spaces designed with a unidirectional focus of sound transmission.<\/p>\n<p>As we already told you in this&nbsp;<a

century thanks to the American physicist Wallace Clement Sabine.<\/p>\n<p>In 1895, the members of Harvard University\u2019s board found that the acoustics of the newly opened Fogg Art Museum were terrible and the speakers\u2019 discourse was unintelligible.<\/p>\n<p>When Sabine was asked to solve the problem, he came to the conclusion that the problem lay in the excessive reverberation of the room.<\/p>\n<p>To reduce it, he covered the walls with felt, a type of acoustic absorber.<\/p>\n<p>Although it was not the perfect solution, the acoustics improved and Sabine was contacted for other projects.<\/p>\n<p>This led him to develop the calculation formula that allows us to determine the&nbsp;<strong>reverberation time<\/strong>&nbsp;of sound in a space, a formula that we still use
