The object of research is
Performance of instrumental estimates of speech intelligibility in university lecture rooms
The aim of research is to
Refine the quantitative characteristics of the early reflections influence on speech intelligibility
Paper title
Evaluation of speech intelligibility in university classrooms of different sizes using objective and subjective methods
Keywords
binaural room impulse response, speech intelligibility, early reflections of sound
Main scientific results imply the following
Early Decay Time exceeded the score of the T30 reverberation time but was ineffective in a small lecture room. The C50 clarity index for all the considered lecture rooms was the most informative.
Scope of application
Architecture and construction, room acoustics, renovating university lecture rooms, indoor ecology, administration in education
Limitations for practical use
The results obtained are preliminary, since an analysis of the acoustic properties of a small number of rooms was carried out
