Learning outcomes
Introduction to Acoustics, basic concepts, quantities. Topics of lectures: 1. Fundamentals of physiological acoustics, the influence of sound on the human body. 2. Acoustic legislation, standards, regulations. 3. Basics of sound propagation in open and closed space. 4. Elements influencing building and spatial acoustics, principles for correct design of building structures in terms of acoustic and spatial modifications. 5. Requirements for acoustic climate in different indoor spaces, their solutions and procedures. 6. Approaches to the creation of acoustic comfort of buildings. 7. Principles for the design of halls and rooms for different types of use - spoken word, music, stay of persons etc. 8. Possibility of solving spaces and building structures and noise protection. 9. Basics of urban acoustics, approaches to solving acoustics and noise in the area. Basics of measurement, measurement methodology, measurement protocol
The student will be independently capable to orientate oneself in acoustics. The accent is given to urban acoustics and acoustics in structures.
