Acoustic Characterization of Historic Cloisters in Portugal

摘要

This work (a preliminary study of ongoing research) was centered in a selected 20-room sample andrnconfirmed that the cloisters in Portugal have very distinct characteristics.rnSimple formulas were found for the relationships among objective acoustic parameters and also tornpredict the mean room values using some of the main architectural features. In this case, relationshipsrnwere found that could explain about 90% of the variance in the measured mean values.rnNo statistical evidence was found to support the hypothesis that "closed" rooms behave acousticallyrnbetter than the traditional ones.
