Determining the ceiling height is vital for creating an effective learning environment,
impacting acoustics, lighting, ventilation, and spatial experience. Your task is to calculate
the ideal ceiling height, considering factors like functionality, acoustics, lighting,
ventilation, accessibility, and aesthetics. Compute using the right ratio needed. (3 points)
SOLUTION:
H = 𝟑. 𝟑𝟑 𝒎𝒕𝒔
3. Based on Question #1, Architect de la Cruz designed the seat rows to be 3.5 feet apart.
Compute for the distance needed for height of seat elevations when the speaker is located
9 feet above the floor level. (5 points)
d = r(2.5h-1)
d= 3.5 ft (2.5x9-1)
d = 75.25 ft
4. Based on Question 1. Upon the design phase of the auditorium, the owner of the
auditorium requested that the overall look should have industrial themed, thus the

𝑉
𝑇𝑅 = 𝐾 𝑥 𝛴𝑆𝛼 Sec since the given
measurements are in meters, K value would
be 0.16 while V is the volume of the room.

So, in other words: 𝑻𝑹 = 𝟎. 𝟏𝟔 𝒙
𝜮𝑺𝜶
Formula for V= LxWxH. Length and width are both given. Ceiling height to be used is
the answer for Question 1 which is 17 mts.
SURFACE 1= 30 X 10 SURFACE 2 = 45 X 10
= 300 = 450
= 300 x 2 SINCE 2 SIDES ARE EQUAL = 450 x 2 SINCE 2 SIDES ARE EQUAL
= 600 𝑚2 = 900 𝑚2
