Architecture and Planning Miscellaneous

  1. A room of 3m × 3m × 3m has a reverberation time of 0.8 sec. Using Sabine’s method, the total absorption in the room is _____________ sabin (up to one decimal place).
    1. 2.3 to 9.7
    2. 4.3 to 6.7
    3. 5.3 to 5.7
    4. 6.3 to 5.7
Correct Option: C

5.3 to 5.7
RT60 is the reverberation time (to drop 60 dB)
V is the volume of the room
c20 is the speed of sound at 20° C (room temperature)
Sa is the total absorption in sabins.

RT60 =
24(In 10) V
c20Sa

0.8 =
24 × (In 10) × 27
343Sa

Sa = 5.43 sabin
