Field Measurement of the Reverberation Time in Occupied and Unoccupied Apartment Houses

공동주택 입주 전.후 세대에서의 잔향시간 측정 및 비교

The aim of this study is to investigate and to analyze the reverberation times of apartment houses Measurements were conducted in a total of 44 rooms(36 rooms were in occupied houses and 8 rooms were in unoccupied houses) according to KS F 2864. The results showed that the averaged reverberation time of the occupied and the unoccupied houses were about 0.3$\sim$0.5sec and 1.2$\sim$l.5 sec, respectively, at 500Hz octave band frequency. And the averaged absorbtion coefficient of the occupied and the unoccupied houses were about 0.13$\sim$0.35 and 0.11$\sim$0.20, respectively. In addition, We verified that the reverberation time generally depended on the frequency; the lower the frequency, the higher the reverberation time.
