BB3.6-Simulation

Belén Hernández Gascón

  • Description

Consultation on acoustic properties prediction (sound insulation, acoustic comfort) of materials, building components and environments.
Simulation by FEM, geometric acoustic and special-purpose software.

  • Standardisation

The service aligns with the requirements of ISO 3382-2:2008 - Acoustics - Measurement of Room Acoustic Parameters - Part 2: Reverberation Time in Ordinary Rooms.

  • Innovation features

Our service combines state-of-the-art acoustic modelling with proprietary simulation tools to enhance sound quality and performance in indoor environments. By accurately predicting acoustic behaviour, we can create custom solutions that improve comfort while minimising energy consumption and material waste. This approach streamlines the design process, delivering more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective results.

Supporting Services

Experimental acoustic characterisation of materials and/or of components in impedance tube, reverberation / anechoic chamber, on full scale test facility with accellerometry

  • Value proposition

The simulations allow for rapid testing of various configurations and scenarios, reducing the need for trial and error during production. By predicting the behaviour of the components within the building's environment, we can create solutions that enhance overall indoor acoustic quality while minimising waste, energy use, and production time. This simulation-driven approach also allows for full customisation of materials, ensuring that every product is perfectly suited to its intended application, while providing a scalable solution for on-demand production.

  • Environmental and social impact

The service contributes to EU sustainability goal by optimising indoor environmental quality through advanced simulations that accurately model key acoustic factors, enhancing sound performance and comfort. Our simulations reduce trial-and-error in production, leading to more energy-efficient and cost-effective solutions.
