Abstract
Indoor soundscape measurement and assessment is an emerging discipline currently growing in parallel with outdoor soundscape assessment, driven equally by research adding new knowledge and standardisation harmonising methods and analysis techniques. While traditional indoor acoustic assessment has focused on the characteristics of the construction and the quality of the environment in relation to the final use of spaces, little attention has been paid to the perception of the acoustic climate by the people who occupy those spaces, i.e. the user's own opinion in context. Following the development of the ISO 12913 standard for urban soundscape assessment, great efforts are currently being made to find the best method for measuring and analysing indoor soundscapes to determine the perceived affective quality of the places where people live and work. The consideration of users' opinions in the construction and design of indoor spaces would contribute to the improvement of their own quality of life. In educational and research environments, this would also contribute to better teaching and more effective results. In this paper, we present the first results of exploring these new techniques and proposals in a university classroom over the course of a quarter.
