Tasks and equipment

In the laboratory for Building and Room Acoustics, components and materials are examined and optimized in terms of sound technology. The laboratory offers a practice-oriented supplement to teaching, with regular experimental demonstrations taking place every semester. These demonstrations serve to illustrate and deepen learning content.

The laboratory is linked to the courses

• Acoustics.design (elective subject for all degree programs in architecture and building heritage),
• basics of building physics (bachelor's degree in civil engineering) and
• Sound insulation technology (master's degree in structural engineering).

In addition, interdisciplinary projects or parts of bachelor's and master's theses can be realized by arrangement.

The laboratory offers a complete range of measuring equipment for determining room and building acoustics parameters (standard impact sound level, sound reduction index, absorption coefficient), and standard-compliant test rooms (ceiling test bench, wall test bench, reverberation room) are also available and used.
