Reverberation time in class rooms – Comparison of regulations and classification criteria in the Nordic countries
Regulatory requirements or guidelines for classroom reverberation time exist in all five Nordic countries and in most of Europe – as well as other acoustic criteria for schools, e.g. concerning airborne and impact sound insulation, facade sound insulation and installation noise. There are several re...
