The Acoustic Comfort in Rooms Intended for Educational Purposes

This paper presents a study focused on ensuring acoustic comfort in rooms intended for educational purposes. In educational environments, students can concentrate more effectively when sound disturbances that may distract from the learning process are minimized. Enhancing the acoustic conditions leads to improved performance and allows students to complete their activities in a calmer environment. The importance of determining the reverberation time is emphasized, as it is a key criterion in assessing the acoustic quality of enclosed spaces. The measured values were adjusted according to the standards STAS 9783/0-84 and Normative C125-2013. Three commercially available solutions were proposed to optimize the acoustic comfort of the studied room, and the most suitable solution was selected. The chosen option complies with the requirements of STAS 9783/0-84 and Normative C125-2013, thus ensuring a high level of acoustic comfort. From an interior design perspective, this solution also harmonizes best with the existing environment, particularly with the color tones of the existing HPL panels.
