The impact of mechanical ventilation systems on acoustic quality in school environments

There is a growing scientific consensus that COVID-19 could be transmitted through the airborne route, putting ventilation at heart of mitigation strategy for buildings, including schools. The design suitable systems requires to consider all aspects both control air movement and diffusion bacterial loads, but also other parameters indoor quality. This work examines acoustic in schools effects have on quality classrooms compliance with standard series UNI 11532. standards provide guideline evaluation performances schools, attention children special educational needs.
