Reverberation Time

The ‘reverberation time’ of a space changes the way the space ‘sounds’ and can affect the intelligibility acoustic information. A high reverberation time can make a room sound muffled, loud and noisy. Rooms designed for speech typically have a low reverberation time, whereas a higher reverberation time can add depth, richness and warmth to music.

The reverberation time of a room is defined as the time it takes for sound to decay by 60 dB after an abrupt termination. It is linked to the total quantity of soft treatments and the volume of the room.

Air Testing

As part of thermographic surveys we can also use an air Pressure testing kit to depressurise the building and help detect any air leakage within the property

Air Testing & Leakage

We have a checklist you can download for Air Leakage Testing. If you follow our air tightness checklist, this will improve your likelihood to achieve a pass!
