Abstract

This paper evaluates several procedures to determine the reverberation time, RT, in a classroom. These procedures are: (1) measurement by the integrated impulse response method, (2) measurement by the interrupted noise method, (3) computer simulation using ODEON Version 9.0 software, and (4) calculations using the Sabine, Eyring, and Arau-Puchades formulas. The resulting data are analyzed statistically to verify their similarity. No statistical difference was found between the values obtained by the two measuring methods. The computer simulation produced accurate data. The best formula for calculating RT in the classroom in question is Eyring’s formula.
