Investigation of Acoustic Performance in Open-Plan University Canteen
摘要
This comprehensive academic investigation examined acoustic dynamics within an open-plan university canteen, employing sophisticated methodological approaches to assess and optimize sound environment characteristics. Utilizing advanced computational simulations and rigorous field verification techniques, the research systematically analyzed acoustic performance parameters, specifically reverberation time (RT) and clarity index (C80), within a 165 m2 campus dining facility. The innovative methodology integrated ODEON computational modeling with precise on-site measurements, strategically employing acoustic panels and sound-absorbing materials to enhance acoustic quality. Empirical results demonstrated meticulous acoustic control, achieving an average reverberation time of 0.85 s and maintaining consistent clarity index values across measurement points. The study’s findings contribute significant insights into acoustic design strategies for multi-functional institutional spaces, emphasizing the critical interplay between architectural configuration, material selection, and acoustic performance. By elucidating quantitative methodologies for sound environment optimization, the research provides a robust framework for future architectural acoustic interventions in educational dining environments.
