Architectural Acoustics
- AA00 - Architectural Acoustics, REGULAR (not structured)
Description: Contributed session on the topic.
- AA01 - Acoustics of opera houses
Joint with: MU, PA, NS
Org. by Robin Glosemeyer Petrone & Roberto PompoliDescription: Creating desirable performing and listening environments in opera houses.
- AA02 - Archeological acoustics
Org. by David Lubman & Jens Holger Rindel
Description: Acoustical effects and phenomena encoded in ancient structures and artifacts. - AA03 - Comparison of US and European standards in building/room acoustics
Joint with: ASACOS
Org. by Kenneth Roy & Eddy Gerretsen
Description: Both national and international standards in acoustics are used in the USA and European communities, so what has our experience been with both the measurement and application of these standards in building acoustics? - AA04 - Coupled volume acoustics
Org. by Jason Summers & Judicaël Picaut
Description: Room-acoustic design, physical and numerical modeling, measurements, analysis methods, and subjective / objective evaluations related to coupled rooms. - AA05 - Acoustics and electroacoustics of small rooms
Joint with: EA
Org. by Jiri Tichy & Mendel Kleiner
Description: The session will deal with the sound field in small rooms at low frequencies to improve the transfer functions to reduce the adverse effects of modes by the room shape and damping, modal distribution, sound dispersion, source modification and distribution and other physical and psychoacoustic phenomena. - AA06 - Low frequency absorption: Mechanisms, measurement methods and application
Joint with: NS
Org. by Peter d'Antonio & Christian Nocke
Description: This session will explore mechanisms exploited to achieve low frequency absorption or control, measurement methods to verify performance and applications of traditional and new low frequency control devices. - AA07 - New measurement parameters in performing arts spaces
Joint with: MU
Org. by Lily Wang & Brian Katz
Description: This session will discuss new measurement parameters and methods being developed for use in the design and assessment of performing art spaces, in order to go beyond and/or improve those in the current standard. - AA08 - Student design competition
Org. by Byron Harrison & Anders Christian Gade
Description: The Student Design Competition, open to all students of building science and acoustics, is an adjudicated competition for the design of a theoretical facility in which architectural acoustics and noise control are of significant importance. - AA09 - New frontiers in room acoustical modeling
Org. by Murray Hodgson & Vincent Valeau
Description: This session will present papers on novel approaches to room-acoustical modeling and room sound-field prediction. - AA10 - Airborne and impact sound insulation
Joint with: NS
Org. by Berndt Zeitler & Patrizio Fausti
Description: This session reviews the current laboratory research and design techniques involved with improvements of airborne and impact sound insulation in buildings and occupied spaces. - AA11 - Acoustics of open-plan spaces
Joint with: NS
Org. by Kenneth Roy & Valtteri Hongisto
Description: An emerging architectural design trend is to open-up the architectural spaces both vertically and horizontally, so what are the consequences on acoustic performance, and more importantly, what novel applications of acoustical materials and systems can be applied to resolve acoustic issues? - AA12 - Speech segregation in rooms
Joint with: PP
Org. by Barbara Shinn-Cunningham & Mathieu Lavandier
Description: This session will focus on the influence of sound reflections and reverberation on the intelligibility of a speech target source in the presence of directional interfering speech or noise sources. - AA13 - Acoustics and privacy in healthcare facilities I: Emerging policy around the world
Joint with: NS
Org. by David Sykes & Kerstin Persson Waye
Description: Societal context & emerging public policies, standards & guidelines; This session presents several perspectives of the emerging policy situation: International (40-nation, Paris-based International Union of Architects), National (US AIA & AHA), Asian (Japan), sectorial (LEED HC as an example of 'green' building rating systems worldwide), and technical/standards-development (ISO, ANSI, ASTM, ASHRAE). - AA14 - Acoustics and privacy in healthcare facilities II: Emerging research around the world
Joint with: NS
Org. by William Cavanaugh & Kerstin Persson Waye
Description: Overview of emerging research that support the need to improve acoustics in healthcare facilities: some recent case studies involving innovative methods from Europe and North America. - AA15 - Surround sound acoustics
Joint with: MU
Org. by Tony Hoover, Alexander Case & Etienne Corteel
Description: Investigate and give direction to various issues of acoustics, audio, and aesthetics that are important in the design of surround sound studios, listening rooms, and installations. - AA16 - Prediction methods in building acoustics
Org. by Berndt Zeitler & Catherine Guigou
Description: This session reviews the current research on the use of wave, statistical and energy approaches on building acoustics modeling to calculate the acoustic behavior of building components from the material properties and to estimate the acoustic performances of buildings from the performance of elements. - AA17 - Measuring methods and uncertainty in building acoustics
Org. by Brandon Tinianov & Werner Scholl
Description: This session reviews the current research on novel and standardized measurement methods and uncertainty estimation in building acoustics. - AA18 - Acoustics of concert halls
Org. by Leo Beranek, Daniel Commins and Takayuki Hidaka
Description: Creating desirable performing and listening environments in concert halls.
