DESIGN THE ACOUSTICAL TREAMENT OF A MOVIE THEATRE WITH AN AREA OF 4,656.56 SQM(FAN-SHAPED), FLOOR TO CEILING
HEIGHT OF 14.00 METERS(HIGHEST), AND 9.00(LOWEST). OTHER DETAILS DESCRIBE AS FOLLOWS;

GIVEN: ROUGH FINISH UNDER 1000 HERTZ

FLOOR - TERAZZO SLAB(BOTH ORCHESTRA & BALCONY)

CEILING- 1/2” THK. GYPSUM BOARD

WALL - CHB CEMENT PLASTER WITH 4.09 SQM DOOR OPENING

500 SEATS (SIZE = 1FT2)

REQUIRED:

DESIGN & SPECIFY THE ACOUSTICAL TREATMENT OF THE ROOM

SOLUTION:

1. CHECK THE REQUIRED RT FROM THE CHART UNDER FREQUENCIES OF 1000 HERTZ

CONFERENCE ROOM HAS A RT RANGES FROM 0.70 TO 0.90 SECS.

2. CONVERT GIVEN DIMENSIONS FROM METRIC TO ENGLISH SYSTEM

LENGTH = 16.00M X 3.28 = 52.48 FEET

WIDTH = 8.00M X 3.28 = 26.24 FEET

HEIGHT = 14 METERS

3. COMPUTE FOR THE ROOM VOLUME

Vr = LENGTH X WIDTH X HEIGHT

Vr = 52.48 FT X 26.24 FT. X 13.12 FT

Vr = 18,067.23 FT3

SOLUTION: 70x72.4

4. CALCULATE THE ENCLOSING SURFACE AREAS

CEILING = LENGTH (16.00m) X WIDTH(8.00m)( 52.48 FT X 26.24 FT)

= 1,377.08 FT2

FLOOR = LENGTH X WIDTH ( 52.48 FT X 26.24 FT) same as ceiling area

= 1,377.08 FT2

WALL 1& 2 (long) = LENGTH(16.00m) X HEIGHT(4.00m)2 = ( 52.48 FT X 13.12 FT)(2)

= 1,377.08 FT2

WALL 3&4 (short) = WIDTH(8.00m) X HEIGHT(4.00m)2 ( 26.24 FT X 13.12 FT) (2)

= 686.54 FT2

TOTAL WALL AREA = 1,377.08 FT2 + 686.54 FT2

= 2,065.62 FT2 – (WINDOW AREA + DOOR OPENING) ( 150.00 FT2 + 44.6 FT2 )

= 1,871.02 FT2
