Abstract
Abstract The Szentgyörgyi-Horváth-house is one of the major historical buildings of Balatonfüred. The design of the reconstruction was preceded by detailed architectural historical study. The reconstruction of the building was realized by retaining the original structures. For the new function the building was equipped with an air-conditioning engine-room. The air conditioner is a significant source of noise for the apartments facing the courtyard of the building, due to its continuous operation. The acoustic examination of the enclosed yard was calculated with two different approaches. The distance-dependent approximation, which is usual for large halls, was approved. Building construction structures were determined based on the results to meet the acoustic requirements.

Summary
Balatonfüred is a remarkable spa town on the Northern shore of Lake Balaton. The settlement started to show spectacular development from the beginning of the 1820’s (during the Reform Era) [1]. The cultural-historical interest of Szentgyörgyi-Horváth-house is that the first socalled ‘Anna ball’ was organized in honor of Anna Krisztina Szentgyörgyi-Horváth in 1825, which was followed by several balls during the Reform Era [3]. This was a major social event of the era. Three large rooms were separated on the 1st floor behind the main façade as it was proven by the architectural historical research of the walls. The three large halls were partitioned into small rooms, the main staircase and the trolley passage were delocalized, the ornamental paintings were destroyed, and interior courtyards were built in the 1970’s. For the reconstruction the architect was Judit Kiss, the interior designer was Júlia Kiss, Katalin Németh controlled the work by the side of historical preservation and the acoustic designer of the reconstruction was the Author, Valéria Horn
