Abstract

Purpose – Recently, the acoustic characteristics of indoor spaces have been perceived to be more important due to the economic development needs of societies. At the same time, container houses have gradually become more widely used in many applications because of their sustainability and ease of use. In spite of their convenience, these container units still need to foster pleasant and quiet sound environments. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, commercial software, designed by Ecotect Analysis, has been used to evaluate the sound characteristics of container houses. As a result, the decorated materials in such a small indoor space have been redesigned for the acoustic comfort of users based on the optimal reverberation time (RT). First, a three-dimensional model of the container house was constructed using the software’s default tools. Then, the indoor acoustic characteristics of various design conditions were obtained from the simulation process underta...
