| Popis: | International audience; As a standard addressing the acoustic performance of classrooms, AIJ, the Architectural Institute of Japan, published a standard for school buildings in 2008, titled ?Academic Standard and Design Guidelines for Sound Environment in School Buildings.? The standard indicates the acoustical performance criteria of ambient noise level, sound insulation performance, and reverberation time. In addition, requirements regarding the operation characteristics of the electro- acoustic system are indicated in the appendix. The standard also provides design guidelines to fulfill the acoustical criteria and for the rooms that require special care in terms of acoustics. Twelve years after the first edition was published, the revised edition is expected to be published in 2020. In the revised edition, the following additions were made. First, in the appendix of the standard part, the recommended values of nursery rooms for preschoolers were added. In the design guideline section, chapters regarding the generally lower acoustic performance of wooden construction and steel-frame construction were added, reflecting the recent trend of school buildings. Furthermore, for children who need special acoustic consideration, the chapters ?A Learning Environment for Children Requiring Special Support,? and ?A Nursery Room for Preschool Children? were added. This paper offers an overview of the revisions to the standard and the guidelines. |
