Course Objective

The aim of this course is to provide students with basic knowledge on the use of simulation programs in the acoustic design of volumes and to enable them to perform acoustic analysis with simulation programs.
The assumptions to be made regarding variables such as volume dimensions, plan formation, type of material used on surfaces that affect the volume acoustic parameters are an issue that needs to be carefully studied in the acoustic design process in order to obtain objective acoustic parameters in ranges suitable for the function of the building. Carrying out the acoustic design simultaneously with the architectural design of the project affects the projects positively. Adding the acoustic measures to be taken after the architectural design decisions of the project are taken is often not possible both economically and in terms of applicability. By using reliable software with today's technology, it is possible to identify situations where acoustically appropriate conditions will be provided during the design phase of the project. With the ODEON software to be used within the scope of the course, students will make decisions that will provide acoustically appropriate conditions according to the function of an architectural project and learn to analyze the numerical data obtained with the software.

Course Policies and Rules

Class attendance is important. The basic acoustic information required for the interpretation of acoustic modeling programs will be transferred in the first weeks, then the student will be provided with the modeling programs to perform acoustic modeling in a space and evaluate the results.
