BH.oM.Environment.SpaceCriteria.Acoustics

The Acoustics object defines the noise criteria for an environments space, whether it's the prescribed ductwork velocity, the noise rating for the space or the dB level.

Class structure

Implemented interfaces and base types

The Acoustics is inheriting from the following base type(s) and implements the following interfaces:

Properties

Defining properties

The following properties are defined on the class

Name Type Description Quantity
DuctVelocity double The prescribed velocity of the ductwork in the space (with more strict requirements for velocity in bedrooms and theatres (~3 m/s) -
NoiseRating double The noise rating (NR), also known as noise criteria (NC) in the US, is the perceived loudness of a space -
DecibelA double The Decibel A (dBA) is the sound pressure sensed by the human ear without sensitivity to very low and very high frequencies prescribed for a space -
