Avaliação acústica pós-ocupação em ambientes de ensino

Abstract

Facing the complexities that involve the constructed environment, the cognitive process and its relations with the expositive methods as practice of teaching-apprenticeship, the present work presents as objective evaluating the acoustic quality of the teaching environments in the Universidade Federal de Lavras using Post-Occupation Evaluation methodologies. With an experiential approach, we investigated the main acoustic pathologies from the user point of view, submitting all critical aspects to a technical analysis, by means of multicriteria methods. Therefore, we verified the levels of background noise, Signal-to-Noise ratio, Reverberation Time and geometric proportions. The results were compared to the specific norms concluding that the evaluated spaces are not in conformity with what the recommendations preconize, and are subject to compromises in the teaching-apprenticeship process under high noise levels, associated to low intelligibility.
