Natural frequencies of support were specified and ranged from 6 Hz to 11 Hz and the most difficult building to isolate was the 400-year-old structure that required structural renovations to receive our bearings and total separation from the foundation. Another difficult task for the structural engineer was analyzing a 400-year-old structure and determining point loadings\, with some bearings being changed after installation. All three buildings are properly isolated and now function as required at the specified levels of vibration reduction\, we wish to discuss the entire process from design through completion[/vc_column_text]REGISTRATION[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″]Speakers[vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”583171″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Douglas G.

D’Annunzio Chieti-Pescara) \nSoundscapes represent a fundamental component of the cultural identity of places\, constituting a form of intangible heritage that requires scientific methodologies for its documentation and preservation. This study presents an innovative psychoacoustic approach for the characterization and preservation of environmental acoustic identity. The research draws on Schafer’s theoretical framework for soundscapes\, translating it to a quantitative level through the use of advanced measurement technologies from Head Acoustics. This methodology captures not only the physical parameters of sound\, but also\, and more importantly\, the perceptual ones\, precisely simulating human listening and providing a thorough understanding of how sounds are interpreted by the ear. The proposed approach allows for the creation of characteristic “soundprints” of specific environments\, providing an objective and reproducible mapping of a territory’s acoustic identity. The results obtained can be applied to develop soundscape conservation policies\, monitor environmental changes over time\, and support more acoustically sensitive urban planning. The methodology represents a significant contribution to the documentation of intangible cultural heritage\, combining scientific rigor and cultural sensitivity for the preservation of the sonic identity of communities.[/vc_column_text]REGISTRATION[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″]Speakers[vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”586107″ img_size=”MEDIUM”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Marco Di Giusto for HEAD acoustics\, since its founding in 1986\, HEAD acoustics has been studying acoustics\, vibrations\, speech\, and sound quality using binaural recording systems.

Hospitals\, usually characterized by hard and reflective surfaces\, amplify sound\, making it difficult to relax and communicate effectively. An optimal acoustic environment is essential for physical\, psychological and emotional well-being\, especially in healthcare facilities\, where noise negatively affects both patient recovery and staff satisfaction and stress levels. The frenzy of hospital work and the management of critical situations often lead to neglecting attention to noise\, further worsening staff well-being. In addition to ensuring an adequate acoustic environment\, spaces must meet rigorous disinfection and cleaning regulations. The webinar aims to address these questions and explore acoustic solutions that comply with both hospital hygiene criteria and regulations\, while improving sound conditions within healthcare facilities.[/vc_column_text]ENDED EVENT[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″]Speakers[vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”584129″ img_size=”MEDIUM”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Cristina Carrus for Saint-Gobain-Ecophon\, the Ecophon brand\, distributed in Italy by Saint-Gobain Italia\, is specialized in the development and production of innovative acoustic solutions that improve the quality of the working environment\, contributing to the well-being and productivity of people.

SUMMARY:Beautiful Sounds 2023Firenze\, 18 ottobre
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After the success of the initiative “NOISE AND THE CITY – L’ANIMA SONORA DELLE CITTTÁ” and “A QUIET PLACE – UN POSTO TRANQUILLO”\, expert technicians of acoustics\, doctors\, designers and philosophers of sound are once again confronted in the Salone dei Cinquecento in Florence to talk about how an environment can be considered of quality thanks to the presence of “BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS 2023 – SUONI POSITIVI PER LUOGHI FELICI”. \nSound and the quality of life Sound plays an important role in the enjoyment of places and landscapes as well as in all human activities. The initiatives of the International Year of Sound\, a global initiative referred to the UNESCO “Charter of Sound” n. 39C/59 concluded at the Forum Acusticum in Turin in September 2023\, highlighted the importance of sound and the sciences and technologies related to it\, in society and in the world\, considering the aspects of the soundscape and noise control in nature\, in built environment and workplaces. In Italy the activities were coordinated by the Italian Acoustic Association. \nPositive sounds for happy places Natural and man-made soundscapes characterize the identity of living and working places. Sounds are an essential component of communication\, in the form of speaking and listening\, warning\, music and creative sounds. Unwanted and disturbing sounds\, perceived as noise\, must be controlled to ensure quality living and working environments. \nStudy days on acoustics Since 1998\, the Municipality of Florence has been organizing Study Days on Acoustics\, in collaboration with the Italian Association of Acoustics and the Order of Engineers of Florence. The topics covered in the previous “days” concerned all aspects of the assessment and mitigation of noise in urban areas and the acoustic quality of places\, highlighting the correlation between exposure to noise and the health of exposed people\, presenting the results of national research and international projects within the European projects HUSH\, QUADMAP\, NEMO\, E-VIA\, SNEAK\, of which the Municipality of Florence was the coordinator and partner. \nBeautiful Sounds In the tradition of the “Days” of Palazzo Vecchio\, this year’s scientific seminar also brings together contributions from experts from many sectors who at different levels deal with sound and well-being in living environments. The day is made up of speeches dedicated to the sounds of the world and cities\, to the identity components of sound as a source of memory\, health\, pleasure and the compatibility of sounds and noises with the territory. To these is added a structured session on the themes of the important European project Life SNEAK\, coordinated by the Municipality of Florence\, which deals with acoustic and vibration problems related to urban mobility where multiple sources overlap and special solutions are needed to mitigate the impacts . \nRefresher Course \nIntrusive noise and its assessment are important skills for the TCA acoustic forensics expert. The course deals with the activity of the court-appointed and party-appointed technical consultant called to carry out assessments and expert reports on issues of noise pollution\, damage and disturbance caused by exposure to noise\, immissions and their tolerability\, also with reference to problems of acoustic non-compliance and building insulation. The assessment of the extent of intrusive noise\, in judicial and extrajudicial contexts\, and the protection of those suffering from acoustic disturbance will be dealt with in the light of current legislation and regulations and with reference to the recent guidelines of the World Health Organization and the specific UNI/TS 11844:2022 technique dedicated specifically to the measurement and analysis of intrusive noise. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1663157842137{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]\n\n\n	\n\nProgram of the day[/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]\n\n\n	\n\nHow to get to Firenze[/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″]\n\n\n	\n\nGoogle Maps[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_tta_tour][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-edit” add_icon=”true” title=”WORKSHOP REGISTRATION 9.00 – 3.00 pm” tab_id=”1663145449514-d4095b6d-8d6b”][vc_column_text]Participation in the seminar is free.

SUMMARY:Webinar "Technical Friday meetings" with the participation of AIA Platinum and Gold 2023 Supporters
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Acoustical Society of Italy is organizing the “Technical Friday Meetings” in autumn 2023\, a series of seminars in webinar mode with the AIA Platinum and Gold 2023 Supporters. \nThe program includes 9 informative meetings\, which will be held from Friday 29 September to Friday 15 December from 1.30 pm to 2.30 pm and which will see the participation of the 3 AIA Platinum 2023 Supporters (Ecophon\, Siemens and Sogimi) and the 6 AIA Gold Supporters 2023 (Aesse Ambiente\, Head acoustics\, Saint-Gobain\, Spectra\, Svantek Italia and Wood-Skin). \nTwo interventions are planned for each meeting\, the first concerns the theoretical framework of the topic discussed\, managed by AIA; the second is the presentation of one or more case studies through a technical report by the Supporter. \nBelow you can consult the calendar and register for the first webinar organized by the Platinum Ecophon Supporter “Beyond sound absorption – Towards zero impact acoustics” scheduled for Friday 29 September. \nThe webinars are free for AIA members and non-members.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#339832″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tour][vc_tta_section title=”29th September 2023″ tab_id=”1669737072612-62969265-d01d”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”580436″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Friday\, 29th January 2023   1.30-2.30 pm\n \nWebinar “Beyond sound absorption – Towards zero impact acoustics” \nModerator: Arianna Astolfi (Politecnico di Torino) \nThe construction industry generates the largest waste streams in Europe\, and in total around 38% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Deciding which sound-absorbing product to choose for a building is not trivial. Acoustic performance\, design needs and budgets are usually evaluated. But today we know that every product present in a building also has an impact on the internal and external environment. Therefore\, it has become imperative to look beyond acoustics and also take environmental impact into consideration. With reference to sustainable building certifications\, our products can contribute to obtaining various credits. Low consumption buildings\, with a low environmental impact\, built with eco-compatible materials and with a high content of recycled material. Designed in this way\, buildings become healthy environments for those who live there. Indoor air quality refers to the air you breathe in confined spaces. Room ventilation therefore plays an important role in ensuring good indoor air quality. This is why Ecophon promotes diffused ventilation false ceilings\, which combine acoustics with air quality. Still relating to air quality\, it is also essential that the materials comply with the criteria of low VOC (volatile organic components) emission. Regarding acoustic and sound comfort: noise is one of the main sources of stress and discomfort\, especially in shared spaces such as offices\, classrooms and hospitals. Numerous studies have shown that excessive noise can increase stress levels\, reduce productivity and even lead to health problems such as hearing loss and cardiovascular disease. Some certifications evaluate various elements of the sound environment\, including sound level measurements\, speech privacy\, noise reduction\, and soundscapes. All these factors contribute to creating an environment conducive to well-being in different ways.[/vc_column_text]ENDED EVENT[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″]Speakers[vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”580765″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text] \nCristina Carrus for Ecophon: Ecophon is distributed in Italy by Saint-Gobain Italia S.p.A. and\, develops and produces acoustic products and systems such as: false ceilings\, sound-absorbing wall systems\, islands\, grilles and accessories for the installation of complete systems.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After the positive feedback from the AIA-AICARR meetings in 2021\, still waiting for the 49th AIA National Conference\, the Acoustical Italian Society organizes a cycle of four webinars “AIA meets the Associations”\, each dedicated to the deepening of an interdisciplinary theme negotiated together with one of the Associations with which AIA has signed collaboration agreements. \nIt begins on Friday 27 January 2023\, with the presentation of the book “The noise of technical systems in construction”\, in collaboration with AiCARR (Italian Association of Air Conditioning\, Heating and Refrigeration); it will continue on 24 February 2023 with a webinar dedicated to “The acoustics of entertainment venues”\, in collaboration with AES (Audio Engineering Society\, Italy Section) and on 10 March 2023 with an event in which we will talk about “Acoustic pollution and hearing loss”\, in collaboration with SIAF (Italian Society of Audiology and Phoniatry). The cycle will end on April 14\, 2023\, with the webinar “Workplace acoustics”\, in collaboration with AIDII (Italian Association of Industrial Hygienists). \nThe four webinars are free for AIA members and non-members.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#339832″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tour][vc_tta_section title=”27th January 2023″ tab_id=”1669737072612-62969265-d01d”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”389714″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Friday\, 27th January 2023   1.30-2.45 pm\n \nAIA-AICARR webinar “Presentation of the book “The noise of systems in buildings” \nChairman: Eleonora Carletti (CNR-STEMS)\nGreetings: Filippo Busato (President of AiCARR) and Francesco Asdrubali (President of AIA)\nIntroduction: Francesca Romana D’Ambrosio (University of Salerno) \nThe volume aims to provide readers with a general overview of the acoustic problems caused by the presence of system sound sources inside and outside buildings. The cut is that of dissemination: it does not enter into the more complex aspects of design and forecast calculations\, but is articulated and detailed in the description of the types of sources and in the legislative\, regulatory and procedural aspects. Precisely with the aim of providing an approach suitable also for non-specialists\, the volume is structured in two general chapters on the sound phenomenon and on legislation in the acoustic sector and in three specialized chapters on the methods of verifying and predicting noise from systems\, on plant noise sources\, on design features and on improvements. The volume is completed by a glossary and an updated bibliography\, including all legislative references and current technical standards.[/vc_column_text]Ended event[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″]Speakers[vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”393032″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text] \nPatrizio Fausti\,is Associate Professor at the Department of Engineering of the University of Ferrara where he teaches Technical Physics\, Civil Technical Systems and Technical Acoustics.

I lived the 70s as a child and the 80s as a young man\, which means that\, even if a little by the hair\, I took the good years. At that time we played in “musical spaces” obtained from garages\, attics or (in summer) on the terrace with a sea view of an economically very lucky friend. In the case of indoor musical spaces\, the acoustic correction was done with the famous egg cartons collected in the back of the shops and a particularly well-trained pair of ears. When the rooms were particularly small\, the problem of stationary waves seemed insurmountable\, but after all it would have taken subsequent university studies to know and understand them. It is comforting to think that not infrequently this problem is still misunderstood by many today\, so there are undoubtedly valid reasons to commit to studying them and excellent professional opportunities in this sense. It has been 25 years since I made Acoustics my profession: from the field of Impact and Acoustic Pollution to that of Architectural Acoustics\, not least that of Discography\, passing through Cinema. The list of my experiences here would be long and cumbersome and I prefer to give the fruits of so much qualified experience in the field directly and with both hands to my Cuneo students. Musical Acoustics is a border area between Science and Art\, it requires solid scientific foundations\, engineering synthesis capabilities combined with sensitivity and taste. Knowing how to translate the artistic need into a technical fact is an uncommon skill\, but one that can be achieved with study\, application and… a good teacher.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”424773″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Gianpiero Majandi\, born in Cremona on 9 February 1963.

From the simple assessment of the risk from exposure to noise and consequent prevention and control indications\, we are moving to a more complex assessment of the combined effects of exposure to noise and other risk factors: physical\, chemical and contextual. To this is added a greater sensitivity towards the problems concerning the assessment of noise risk for the most sensitive subjects and towards a correct design of workplaces that also takes into account the aspects of perceived comfort and building and functional quality. As part of the enhancing factors\, the contributions of vibrations and ototoxic substances will be treated and the risk assessment for sensitive subjects will be considered\, to be carried out on a case-by-case basis\, bearing in mind that the reference values set by the legislation may not be sufficiently protective for such subjects. In fact\, some individuals may be more susceptible than others due to individual or family predisposition or due to the presence of synergistic exposure factors. During the webinar\, the main factors that can increase the individual risk of hearing damage or the risk of the onset of extra-auditory effects will be discussed. The correct design of working environments (industrial and non-industrial) will also be treated with reference to the recent INAIL guidelines produced by a BRIC project which involved various Italian universities and an emblematic case of designing open plan environments will be illustrated\, from the basic principles \, to acoustic modeling techniques\, to the critical analysis of the results. \n\n[/vc_column_text]Ended event[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″]Speakers[vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”497817″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Andrea Bogi\, after graduating in physics from the University of Pisa in 2001\, continued his research activity at the Universities of Pisa\, Montpellier and Siena.

SUMMARY:Webinar "Waiting for Ferrara..."
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]After the great success of the three cycles of webinars “Waiting for Matera” proposed in 2020\, 2021 and 2022\, in anticipation of the 49th AIA National Conference\, the Italian Acoustical Society organizes “Waiting for Ferrara…” confirming the formula of free dissemination seminars\, in telematic mode\, on topics of current affairs and of general interest concerning applied acoustics. \nThe program includes three online events which will be held\, as in the previous three seasons\, on Friday\, in the lunch break from 1.30 pm to 2.30 pm. The speakers will be researchers and professionals\, experts in acoustics and in other disciplines connected to different and interdisciplinary application fields: noise emissions and disturbance\, minimum environmental criteria and sound evacuation systems in case of emergency. \nWe will start on Friday 20 January by talking about the “Intrusive characteristics of noise”\, the methods and new assessment tools. This will be followed by the meeting on Friday 10 February on the “New building CAMs”\, where performance and acoustic comfort will be discussed. The cycle will end on May 12 with the webinar on “Acoustic and EVAC systems”. \nFree events for AIA members and non-members. \nFor AIA Members\, the request for the release of CFP Engineers is underway after participation in all three webinars. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#339832″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tour][vc_tta_section title=”20th January 2023″ tab_id=”1669737072612-62969265-d01d”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”384258″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Friday\, 20th January 2023   1.30-2.30 pm\n \nWebinar “Intrusive characteristics of noise: methods and new evaluation tools” \nChairman: Sergio Luzzi\, Vie en.ro.se. Ingegneria \nThe wealth of knowledge and expertise of those called upon to assess the intrusiveness of noise must necessarily be broad and detailed\, just as the cases in which the correct assessment of noise immissions are required are broad and detailed. The investigation methods have recently been joined by the one published by UNI in the technical specification UNI/TS 11844:2022 which deals with the measurement and evaluation of intrusive noise emissions\, defining their intrusiveness starting from the determination of the signal/noise ratio for each frequency band at 1/3 octave of the spectrum\, through the parameter “Detectability Level” D’L. The webinar sees among the speakers: a lawyer with great experience in disputes related to noise as a cause of damage\, physiological or psychological for exposed individuals\, one of the members of the UNI WG 38 who elaborated the Technical Specification and a young professional who is collecting the application of the new standard to real acoustic scenarios and case studies in an organic and reasoned way. The AIA proposes this moment of discussion\, which will be followed by specific training events\, in the belief that defining the entity of noise immissions starting from their intrusiveness can be a valid aid for the technical consultants of the office and for parties and for lawyers and judges called to defend and protect the right to health and peace.[/vc_column_text]Ended event[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″]Speakers[vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”384260″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text] \nPaolo Caporello\, Engineer\, technician competent in acoustics\, he has worked in various sectors acquiring variegated experience.

The Ministerial Decree of 3 August 2015\, Fire Prevention Code\, deals with the issue of IRAI (Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Signaling Systems) in Chapter S.7\, defining\, in particular\, four levels of performance\, respectively suitable for the management of areas from the simplest to the more complex. For the latter situations\, in particular\, the accurate acoustic design of the signaling systems is essential and\, once the system is installed\, the objective verification of its efficiency by means of instrumental measurements of the STIPA index (Speech Transmission Index Public Address). Once the efficiency of the system is guaranteed\, its real effectiveness depends on several factors:\n– maintenance and updating of the Emergency Evacuation Plan\, which must take into account the possible presence of non-native speaking personnel or public\, or with        sensory disabilities (motor or cognitive; Inclusive Planning);\n– training of emergency operators and regular performance of specific exercises;\n– attention to the possible hiring of workers who will wear hearing protectors or employees with hearing impairments;\n– regular maintenance of the system and carrying out of periodic checks\, as per precise indications of the technical standards of the sector.[/vc_column_text]Iscriviti all'evento[/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″]Speakers[vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#269c48″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”384294″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2/3″][vc_column_text] \nFabio Brocchi\, Engineer\, he carries out the profession of acoustic technician\, with particular interest in building\, architectural\, environmental and industrial aspects.

SUMMARY:Meetings between AIA and AiCARR from 14.05.21 to 15.10.21
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The “Meetings between AIA and AiCARR” arise from the collaboration between the Acoustical Society of Italy and the Italian Air Conditioning\, Heating and Refrigeration Association.\nThis is a cycle of seminars in webinar mode and of a popular nature\, aimed at a wide audience of professionals\, which foresee the release of CFPs.\nThe program includes 4 events (two in spring and two in autumn) which will be held on Fridays from 1:00 am to 3:30 pm.\nTwo senior moderators and 4 speakers\, generally young professionals or researchers\, experts in acoustics and in energy and plant engineering issues\, will discuss from time to time on the different topics\, all of an interdisciplinary nature.\nIt will start with the first webinar (May 14) which will deal with Big data and applications in the management of acoustic and energy data. The second webinar (11 June) will deal with the energy and acoustic requalification of the contemporary building heritage. During the third webinar (24 September) the noise of energy plants will be discussed\, with particular regard to cogeneration and refrigeration plants. The webinar on the aspects of global comfort (acoustic\, thermohygrometric\, visual) in the internal and external environment closes the cycle (October 15).[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#339832″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n					\n					   \n					    \n					  		WEBINAR SPRING14/05/21\n						   	\n						   	\n						   \n						\n					   \n\n					\n					\n					\n					   \n					    \n					  		SPRING WEBINAR 11/06/21\n						   	\n						   	\n						   \n						\n					   \n\n					\n					\n					\n					   \n					    \n					  		AUTUMN WEBINAR 24/09/21\n						   	\n						   	\n						   \n						\n					   \n\n					\n					\n					\n					   \n					    \n					  		AUTUMN WEBINAR 15/10/21\n						   	\n						   	\n						   \n						\n					   \n\n					\n					\n			\n				[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”128246″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text] \n  \nChairmans: \nFrancesco Asdrubali\, Università Roma Tre \nLivio Mazzarella\, Politecnico di Milano[/vc_column_text]ENDED EVENT[/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The webinar is organized with the contribution of   e[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Thanks to the growing adoption and implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) and monitoring infrastructures\, a large amount of data from different acquisition sources relating to energy performance and quality conditions of both internal and external environment they are becoming more and more available and accessible.\nConsequently\, the civil and acoustic sector in the last decade has also proved to be a field of significant interest for the application of big data analytics techniques in order to generate added value from the massive and detailed collection of data. In this context\, the marked heterogeneity\, complexity and temporal dependence of the acquired data make the application of methods related to artificial intelligence a promising opportunity for knowledge extraction aimed at improving energy management processes and the quality of the built environment. This webinar will discuss some of the main solutions and perspectives offered by big data and artificial intelligence in the energy and acoustic fields.\nIn the energy field\, we will discuss applications related to the forecasting of energy demand and the process of automatic detection and diagnostics of energy anomalies or system component failures\, as tools to improve the energy performance of buildings through optimal management in operation. In the acoustic field\, applications related to the creation of a large-scale dynamic acoustic mapping system will be discussed to improve and simplify the monitoring and environmental management of the territory in urban areas. This is done through a limited number of permanent acoustic monitoring sensors\, distributed throughout the territory\, each representative of a group of roads with similar traffic characteristics. The acoustic data collected in this way is used to update the dynamic acoustic map in real time\, using a dedicated algorithm. \nTo consult the program and the registration fees download the BROCHURE. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nSpeakers\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”127962″ img_size=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Chiara Confalonieri\, Graduated in 2012 with a scientific high school diploma\, I attended the three-year degree course in Sciences and Technologies for the Environment\, graduating in 2016.

When intervening on the envelope or on the internal partitions of a building for the purpose of improving energy and acoustic requirements\, one may run into problems concerning urban planning\, typological\, dimensional or structural constraints that can sometimes make it difficult to carry out the interventions necessary to guarantee compliance with legal limits or good executive practices. To all this is added the economic feasibility of the intervention\, to be evaluated along the life cycle of the building. The national regulatory and legislative framework\, relating to interventions to improve energy and acoustic requirements\, is relatively complex and articulated and often interventions concern only one of the two aspects: either acoustic or energy. On the other hand\, conscious design can\, often with minimal increases in cost and executive complexity\, lead to the simultaneous satisfaction of energy and acoustic improvement requirements. The seminar will briefly illustrate the most recent developments in the national regulatory and legislative framework and executive techniques and space will be given to questions from the participants. \nTo consult the program and the registration fees download the BROCHURE.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The webinar is organized with the contribution of   e[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nSpeakers\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”128200″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Ilaria Ballarini\, Graduated with honors in Architecture and PhD in “Technological Innovation for the Built Environment”\, she is Associate Professor at the Energy Department of the Polytechnic of Turin in the field of environmental technical physics.

La sua importanza è sancita dalla norma UNI EN 16798-1. Gli aspetti termici di questa norma derivano dalla UNI EN ISO 7730 che\, essendo richiamata dai CAM Edilizia del 2017\, risulta cogente nella progettazione degli edifici della pubblica amministrazione. Gli stessi CAM richiamano la UNI 11532\, che nella parte 2 disciplina gli aspetti di comfort acustico per le scuole e nelle successive parti 3 e 4 si occuperà di uffici e ospedali. In questo webinar sarà presentato un inquadramento generale sulla nuova normativa per quello che riguarda la relazione tra comfort termico e acustico con focus sulla progettazione degli impianti di climatizzazione. In particolare\, dal punto di vista acustico si tratterà il tema dei requisiti che disciplinano il rumore degli impianti a funzionamento continuo e discontinuo proveniente da ambienti limitrofi e dall’ambiente oggetto di analisi. Saranno presentati esempi che evidenziano problematiche di progettazione e verifica. \nSono previsti CFP per architetti\, ingegneri e periti industriali. \nThe quality of the indoor environment\, which is the combination of acoustic\, thermal and visual comfort and air quality\, is one of the fundamental aspects in the sustainable design of buildings. Its importance is enshrined in the UNI EN 16798-1 standard. The thermal aspects of this standard derive from UNI EN ISO 7730 which\, being referred to by the CAM Building of 2017\, is mandatory in the design of public administration buildings. The CAMs themselves refer to UNI 11532\, which in part 2 regulates the aspects of acoustic comfort for schools and in the subsequent parts 3 and 4 will deal with offices and hospitals. In this webinar\, a general overview of the new legislation will be presented regarding the relationship between thermal and acoustic comfort with a focus on the design of air conditioning systems. In particular\, from the acoustic point of view\, the issue of the requirements governing the noise of continuous and discontinuous systems coming from neighboring environments and from the environment under analysis will be dealt with. Examples will be presented highlighting design and verification issues. \nCFPs are provided for architects\, engineers and industrial experts. \nTo consult the program download the LOCANDINA[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The webinar is organized with the contribution of   e[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nSpeakers\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”177405″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Giorgio Bo\, Legal Representative of EP&S Sc.a.r.l. stable consortium and CEO of PRODIM S.r.l.

In this context\, the marked heterogeneity\, complexity and temporal dependence of the acquired data make the application of methods related to artificial intelligence a promising opportunity for knowledge extraction aimed at improving energy management processes and the quality of the built environment. This webinar will discuss some of the main solutions and perspectives offered by big data and artificial intelligence in the energy and acoustic fields.\nIn the energy field\, we will discuss applications related to the forecasting of energy demand and the process of automatic detection and diagnostics of energy anomalies or system component failures\, as tools to improve the energy performance of buildings through optimal management in operation. In the acoustic field\, applications related to the creation of a large-scale dynamic acoustic mapping system will be discussed to improve and simplify the monitoring and environmental management of the territory in urban areas. This is done through a limited number of permanent acoustic monitoring sensors\, distributed throughout the territory\, each representative of a group of roads with similar traffic characteristics. The acoustic data collected in this way is used to update the dynamic acoustic map in real time\, using a dedicated algorithm. \nTo consult the program and the registration fees download the BROCHURE. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nSpeakers\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”127962″ img_size=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Chiara Confalonieri\, Graduated in 2012 with a scientific high school diploma\, I attended the three-year degree course in Sciences and Technologies for the Environment\, graduating in 2016.

When intervening on the envelope or on the internal partitions of a building for the purpose of improving energy and acoustic requirements\, one may run into problems concerning urban planning\, typological\, dimensional or structural constraints that can sometimes make it difficult to carry out the interventions necessary to guarantee compliance with legal limits or good executive practices. To all this is added the economic feasibility of the intervention\, to be evaluated along the life cycle of the building. The national regulatory and legislative framework\, relating to interventions to improve energy and acoustic requirements\, is relatively complex and articulated and often interventions concern only one of the two aspects: either acoustic or energy. On the other hand\, conscious design can\, often with minimal increases in cost and executive complexity\, lead to the simultaneous satisfaction of energy and acoustic improvement requirements. The seminar will briefly illustrate the most recent developments in the national regulatory and legislative framework and executive techniques and space will be given to questions from the participants. \nTo consult the program and the registration fees download the BROCHURE.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The webinar is organized with the contribution of   e[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nSpeakers\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”128200″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Ilaria Ballarini\, Graduated with honors in Architecture and PhD in “Technological Innovation for the Built Environment”\, she is Associate Professor at the Energy Department of the Polytechnic of Turin in the field of environmental technical physics.

Gli aspetti termici di questa norma derivano dalla UNI EN ISO 7730 che\, essendo richiamata dai CAM Edilizia del 2017\, risulta cogente nella progettazione degli edifici della pubblica amministrazione. Gli stessi CAM richiamano la UNI 11532\, che nella parte 2 disciplina gli aspetti di comfort acustico per le scuole e nelle successive parti 3 e 4 si occuperà di uffici e ospedali. In questo webinar sarà presentato un inquadramento generale sulla nuova normativa per quello che riguarda la relazione tra comfort termico e acustico con focus sulla progettazione degli impianti di climatizzazione. In particolare\, dal punto di vista acustico si tratterà il tema dei requisiti che disciplinano il rumore degli impianti a funzionamento continuo e discontinuo proveniente da ambienti limitrofi e dall’ambiente oggetto di analisi. Saranno presentati esempi che evidenziano problematiche di progettazione e verifica. \nSono previsti CFP per architetti\, ingegneri e periti industriali. \nThe quality of the indoor environment\, which is the combination of acoustic\, thermal and visual comfort and air quality\, is one of the fundamental aspects in the sustainable design of buildings. Its importance is enshrined in the UNI EN 16798-1 standard. The thermal aspects of this standard derive from UNI EN ISO 7730 which\, being referred to by the CAM Building of 2017\, is mandatory in the design of public administration buildings. The CAMs themselves refer to UNI 11532\, which in part 2 regulates the aspects of acoustic comfort for schools and in the subsequent parts 3 and 4 will deal with offices and hospitals. In this webinar\, a general overview of the new legislation will be presented regarding the relationship between thermal and acoustic comfort with a focus on the design of air conditioning systems. In particular\, from the acoustic point of view\, the issue of the requirements governing the noise of continuous and discontinuous systems coming from neighboring environments and from the environment under analysis will be dealt with. Examples will be presented highlighting design and verification issues. \nCFPs are provided for architects\, engineers and industrial experts. \nTo consult the program download the LOCANDINA[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The webinar is organized with the contribution of   e[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nSpeakers\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”177405″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Giorgio Bo\, Legal Representative of EP&S Sc.a.r.l. stable consortium and CEO of PRODIM S.r.l.

Energy saving\, acoustic insulation and containment of urban heat island phenomena are among the main elements to be taken into account in order to obtain performances that comply with current regulations (not least the more stringent limits set by CAM for public buildings) and suitable for the most modern integrated design criteria. On the acoustic level\, the heterogeneity of the different components of the building envelope makes the task even more difficult since the weaker elements and the connections between different elements can strongly affect the final result. It is therefore necessary\, on the one hand\, to characterize and certify the acoustic behavior of all the elements involved\, in order to have reliable starting data and\, on the other\, to first apply the forecast calculation methods in the most correct way and\, then\, take care of every detail in the construction phase. In this context\, the checks in place represent the culmination of this process\, through which to provide an indispensable tool to ensure both compliance with the regulations and\, through an appropriate critical analysis of the results (and the comparison with the results of the forecast checks) \, constant learning and improvement of practices. The seminar\, through a series of invited lectures that will alternate experts and technicians of the sector\, aims to take stock of the situation on the component certification procedures and on good practices with which to obtain the expected results in operation. \nThe seminar “The acoustics of the building envelope: from component certification to on-site verification” organized by the Italian Acoustics Association in collaboration with the Polytechnic of Bari and the Order of Architects of the Province of Bari\, will be held on November 19 2020 from 9.00 to 13.30 in webinar mode. \nFollowing in the afternoon\, from 14.00 to 19.00\, there will be the refresher course for Competent Acoustics Technicians “The lateral noise transmissions in building. Calculation models and measurements in the laboratory” in FAD mode.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tour active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section title=”Seminar Program Program” tab_id=”1718704983555-629b122f-0280″][vc_column_text]Seminar “The acoustics of the building envelope: from component certification to on-site verification” \n9.00 – 9.15 Institutional greetings \nF.

SUMMARY:Webinar “Acoustics and multisensory interactions in complex environments: simulations and applications in virtual reality”
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In recent decades\, numerous international scientific researches have addressed the study of the perception and interaction of individuals with the built environment by adopting an increasingly holistic and human centered approach\, demonstrating the existence of reciprocal influences between physical\, behavioral\, social and psychophysiological aspects\, in various fields. In this light\, in the assessment of forecasting scenarios\, the direct experience of the individual is becoming increasingly important. \nIn the acoustic field\, the acoustic mappings are no longer sufficient to explain how a future scenario will look acoustically after a road or railway infrastructure has been built or after acoustic barriers have been installed. At the same time\, in the field of design and representation\, CAD and BIM tools are not enough to provide a direct and complete evaluation of a project and its impact. \nThe spread of Immersive Virtual Reality in recent years\, supported by the development of numerous software and wearable devices for interacting with the virtual world\, has made it possible to experiment with new integrated design methods\, for indoor (e.g. for offices\, schools) and outdoor environments. (e.g. wind farms\, roads\, noise barriers\, urban parks). \nThe webinar will present the new orientations and opportunities of multisensory design\, as well as the applications\, tools and modeling techniques for IVR applications.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tour][vc_tta_section title=”Program” tab_id=”1718708993992-a77bb1ed-607b”][vc_column_text]10:00-10:10   Saluti\narch.

These sensors\, born in the gaming and IT fields\, are composed of a sensitive element and analog-digital converters integrated in volumes on a millimeter scale. The main advantages of digital MEMS sensors are extremely low costs and easier digital signal processing. For this reason they begin to find new and particular applications within extended networks of low-cost wireless sensors that allow to collect large amounts of data in real time for environmental or industrial monitoring\, where\, on a large scale\, it is not always necessary. have high precision sensors\, but at the same time metrological traceability is necessary\, in order to guarantee the effective accuracy of the measurement. Furthermore\, sensor networks require sophisticated data management\, in terms of connection\, transfer and analysis\, and an adequate IT hardware and software infrastructure. However\, for these extensive sensor networks it is not always possible to implement standard calibration procedures\, which\, in addition to technical differences\, are not suitable in terms of cost when compared to the low cost of the sensors themselves. Consequently\, as also reported by the BIPM strategic vision document in the context of emerging metrological requirements for the future\, it is necessary that these technologies «are supported by a new metrology to support reliable and safe operation (including digital sensors) and to guarantee traceability chains and quality management requirements “.\nIn this webinar\, the first of the second cycle of “Waiting for Matera”\, we will talk about MEMS and extended monitoring networks together with Luca Nencini\, Jacopo Fogola and Andrea Prato\, respectively experts in production and adaptation\, environmental applications and sensor calibration and traceability issues.\nWe will try to understand what they are and why they are cheap\, what are the prospects and limits of general use for environmental measures\, how they are used in networks for noise and vibration control and how to deal with the problems related to the management of large amounts of data and the need for good connection and large-scale reliability.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”126320″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Jacopo Fogola\,graduated with honors in Physics\, since 1998 I have been working at Arpa Piemonte\, where since 2011 I have been responsible for the “Noise and Vibrations” Coordination\, with the task of defining the guidelines and standardizing the activity on noise pollution at regional level.

Among other things\, the virtual 3D reconstruction – both sound and visual – of architectural and natural environments has represented in the last year the way to escape the restrictions of domestic spaces\, considered very limited. Therefore\, the evolution of microphones and spherical sound sources\, equipped with mini capsules respectively for the recovery and restitution of sound\, are the expedients through which the virtual reconstruction is made possible both in special listening rooms and through the ” use of cheap devices (such as smartphones and normal headphones).\nDuring the seminar the operating methodologies and applications that took place both in closed or confined places such as the historical Italian nineteenth-century theaters will be exposed through the data collection of the SIPARIO project\, and outdoors by exploiting the natural architectures of Paleolithic caves and inlets of which the project ARTSOUNDSCAPE is one of the leaders.\nThrough a “virtual” reconstruction\, the acoustic evolution of the Roman theater of Benevento will be presented: from the original conformation in the imperial era\, the abandonment following historical events and natural events\, the decadence with the construction of houses in the cavea making it lose the memory until the rediscovery at the end of the 19th century and the return of the theater to the city in the mid-20th century.\nSome results will then be shared which will be later discussed both from an acoustic and architectural point of view.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”126773″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Antonella Bevilacqua\, graduated in Architecture and Building Engineering at the University of Parma\, she then continued her studies in acoustics at London South Bank University (LSBU).

However\, the acoustic impact\, together with the visual one\, represents a significant obstacle for the construction of new wind farms\, usually installed in places where the quiet and the landscape are the main attractions. Unlike the most common sources of road and railway noise\, the noise produced by wind power plants has particular emissive characteristics and strictly dependent on natural phenomena. This has led to the development of specific measurement procedures for compliance with the emission levels\, which also provide for a correct determination of the relationships between the wind profiles and the propagation of noise in the prevailing atmospheric conditions. The presence of low-frequency spectral components\, amplitude modulation and a multiplicity of moderation factors\, both environmental and subjective\, are among the main aspects able to explain how\, at the same level\, wind noise is more disturbing than that produced by other environmental sound sources.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”126826″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Luca Fredianelli\, is a PhD in Applied Physics.

However\, the adoption of PBD in acoustic design is still infrequent\, despite the fact that these tools allow you to combine different perspectives (e.g. acoustic and visual) at the same time by exploring geometric and material solutions that can adapt to optimal parameter values ​​and perceptual criteria. \nIn this seminar some successful professional\, didactic and research experiences will be presented. Despite having different objectives\, these three perspectives agree in two key aspects that\, at present\, prevent the use of PBD tools on a large scale: it is necessary to improve the integration and interoperability between modeling and simulation tools and\, together\, improve the acoustic knowledge and programming skills of architectural professionals. \n(Credits immagine: Jeremy Stephen Watts Bonwick\, MSD\, Studio 30\, 2020.) \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”126837″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Sofia Colabella is Lecturer in Construction Technology in Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture\, Building and Planning of the University of Melbourne.

Among the surveys present in the literature\, in the various occupational scenarios\, the environments intended for teaching are particularly critical and are of particular interest for the medical-scientific and technical aspects that could lead to a revision of the legislation. At the moment\, the Consolidated Law on safety at work does not expressly include the assessment of extra-auditory risk and even in the accident and forensic field there is little evidence of non-auditory damage\, whether of a physiological\, neuro-behavioral or perceptual-cognitive nature.\nSchool activities often take place in classrooms with inadequate acoustic properties\, where the background noise is high and has unfavorable spectral characteristics. Exposure to noise seems to have a significant impact on the behavior of kindergarten and primary school pupils and on the reactions of teachers to lead children to silence or to moderate the typical excesses of developmental age.\nThe BRiC INAIL 2019-ID 14 project sees five Italian universities engaged in ambitious research work on how inadequate acoustic contexts can lead to impairment of cognitive skills\, particularly critical for the development of children\, as well as an increase in the effort associated with speech. and listening\, with the onset of fatigue and pathological or behavioral consequences in students and teachers of schools of all levels.\nIn this webinar of Aspettando Matera\, the first results of the research will be presented\, including the results of the research and cataloging of extra-auditory damage\, through a reasoned review of literature and jurisprudence. The interventions will concern the cataloging of sources and scenarios capable of generating extra-auditory damage\, first of all the vocal effort\, and the possible implications deriving from the incomplete and univocal consideration of the problem at the legislative\, regulatory and juridical level.\nWe will also discuss the medical aspects\, the effects on heart function deriving from the increase in heart rate and blood pressure; how exposure to noise increases respiratory rate\, disturbs the balance organ and even the digestive system. And above all the effects on the voice\, one of the best known effects in the medical field\, but ignored by the layman.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”126849″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Massimo Spadola Bisetti\, Surgeon.

These sensors\, born in the gaming and IT fields\, are composed of a sensitive element and analog-digital converters integrated in volumes on a millimeter scale. The main advantages of digital MEMS sensors are extremely low costs and easier digital signal processing. For this reason they begin to find new and particular applications within extended networks of low-cost wireless sensors that allow to collect large amounts of data in real time for environmental or industrial monitoring\, where\, on a large scale\, it is not always necessary. have high precision sensors\, but at the same time metrological traceability is necessary\, in order to guarantee the effective accuracy of the measurement. Furthermore\, sensor networks require sophisticated data management\, in terms of connection\, transfer and analysis\, and an adequate IT hardware and software infrastructure. However\, for these extensive sensor networks it is not always possible to implement standard calibration procedures\, which\, in addition to technical differences\, are not suitable in terms of cost when compared to the low cost of the sensors themselves. Consequently\, as also reported by the BIPM strategic vision document in the context of emerging metrological requirements for the future\, it is necessary that these technologies «are supported by a new metrology to support reliable and safe operation (including digital sensors) and to guarantee traceability chains and quality management requirements “.\nIn this webinar\, the first of the second cycle of “Waiting for Matera”\, we will talk about MEMS and extended monitoring networks together with Luca Nencini\, Jacopo Fogola and Andrea Prato\, respectively experts in production and adaptation\, environmental applications and sensor calibration and traceability issues.\nWe will try to understand what they are and why they are cheap\, what are the prospects and limits of general use for environmental measures\, how they are used in networks for noise and vibration control and how to deal with the problems related to the management of large amounts of data and the need for good connection and large-scale reliability.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”126320″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Jacopo Fogola\,graduated with honors in Physics\, since 1998 I have been working at Arpa Piemonte\, where since 2011 I have been responsible for the “Noise and Vibrations” Coordination\, with the task of defining the guidelines and standardizing the activity on noise pollution at regional level.

However\, the acoustic impact\, together with the visual one\, represents a significant obstacle for the construction of new wind farms\, usually installed in places where the quiet and the landscape are the main attractions. Unlike the most common sources of road and railway noise\, the noise produced by wind power plants has particular emissive characteristics and strictly dependent on natural phenomena. This has led to the development of specific measurement procedures for compliance with the emission levels\, which also provide for a correct determination of the relationships between the wind profiles and the propagation of noise in the prevailing atmospheric conditions. The presence of low-frequency spectral components\, amplitude modulation and a multiplicity of moderation factors\, both environmental and subjective\, are among the main aspects able to explain how\, at the same level\, wind noise is more disturbing than that produced by other environmental sound sources.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”126826″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Luca Fredianelli\, is a PhD in Applied Physics.

However\, the adoption of PBD in acoustic design is still infrequent\, despite the fact that these tools allow you to combine different perspectives (e.g. acoustic and visual) at the same time by exploring geometric and material solutions that can adapt to optimal parameter values ​​and perceptual criteria. \nIn this seminar some successful professional\, didactic and research experiences will be presented. Despite having different objectives\, these three perspectives agree in two key aspects that\, at present\, prevent the use of PBD tools on a large scale: it is necessary to improve the integration and interoperability between modeling and simulation tools and\, together\, improve the acoustic knowledge and programming skills of architectural professionals. \n(Credits immagine: Jeremy Stephen Watts Bonwick\, MSD\, Studio 30\, 2020.) \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”126837″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Sofia Colabella is Lecturer in Construction Technology in Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture\, Building and Planning of the University of Melbourne.

Among the surveys present in the literature\, in the various occupational scenarios\, the environments intended for teaching are particularly critical and are of particular interest for the medical-scientific and technical aspects that could lead to a revision of the legislation. At the moment\, the Consolidated Law on safety at work does not expressly include the assessment of extra-auditory risk and even in the accident and forensic field there is little evidence of non-auditory damage\, whether of a physiological\, neuro-behavioral or perceptual-cognitive nature.\nSchool activities often take place in classrooms with inadequate acoustic properties\, where the background noise is high and has unfavorable spectral characteristics. Exposure to noise seems to have a significant impact on the behavior of kindergarten and primary school pupils and on the reactions of teachers to lead children to silence or to moderate the typical excesses of developmental age.\nThe BRiC INAIL 2019-ID 14 project sees five Italian universities engaged in ambitious research work on how inadequate acoustic contexts can lead to impairment of cognitive skills\, particularly critical for the development of children\, as well as an increase in the effort associated with speech. and listening\, with the onset of fatigue and pathological or behavioral consequences in students and teachers of schools of all levels.\nIn this webinar of Aspettando Matera\, the first results of the research will be presented\, including the results of the research and cataloging of extra-auditory damage\, through a reasoned review of literature and jurisprudence. The interventions will concern the cataloging of sources and scenarios capable of generating extra-auditory damage\, first of all the vocal effort\, and the possible implications deriving from the incomplete and univocal consideration of the problem at the legislative\, regulatory and juridical level.\nWe will also discuss the medical aspects\, the effects on heart function deriving from the increase in heart rate and blood pressure; how exposure to noise increases respiratory rate\, disturbs the balance organ and even the digestive system. And above all the effects on the voice\, one of the best known effects in the medical field\, but ignored by the layman.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”126849″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Massimo Spadola Bisetti\, Surgeon.

The virus has had and is having terrible consequences on people’s health\, governments and health authorities of various countries have often reacted by introducing restrictive measures to contain the phenomenon\, including the closure of buildings and public areas until the complete lockdown. In this critical scenario\, however\, some positive effects were also observed. From an environmental point of view\, in fact\, during the lockdown there was a reduction in road traffic\, as well as a reduction in navigation and air transport activities\, which led to a significant benefit for air quality and emissions of noise in the cities.\nDuring the seminar we will discuss the consequences that the pandemic has had in terms of objective reduction of noise levels\, but also in relation to the perception of the sound landscape by citizens.\nA summary of the results of the noise monitoring carried out\, using smart sensors\, in an urban area of ​​the city of Monza\, before\, during and immediately after the lockdown\, will be shown\, using the data collected by the LIFE MONZA project. Some results of two international projects will then be shared\, the first of which aimed at the documentation and subsequent analysis of the changes in the sound landscape\, conducted in the different phases of the lockdown in a town in the Basque Country\, in northern Spain; The second\, The Sound Outside\, which tells of the lockdown in the world during the first phase of the pandemic and which saw the participation of more than 100 sound professionals from various countries. The data objects presented will then be discussed from a philosophical point of view\, in order to understand how our auditory perception has been strongly influenced by listening to the sounds of cities “in silence”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”78223″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Chiara Bartalucci she is post-doc researcher at the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Florence.

Consequently\, the technical-acoustic community faces it in a partial way\, despite being the main sound source and cause of disturbance in many contexts\, such as nightlife environments\, restaurants\, open-plan offices and school environments. \nWhile international research has been studying for some time the effects that anthropogenic noise causes on comfort\, well-being and productivity\, an open problem is that of its measurement. Typically the anthropogenic contribution is added to other sources of noise: in nightlife contexts to traffic noise\, in offices to noise from systems\, in classrooms to the teacher’s speech. Recent applications of simple data-analysis algorithms make it possible to isolate the anthropic contribution and quantify the contribution of sound emission\, in compliance with current acoustic regulations. \nAmong the solutions to mitigate this noise source\, acoustic treatments are not sufficient\, therefore it is desirable to promote the use of new strategies capable of encouraging virtuous behavior in people. In this sense\, noise awareness campaigns have been organized and monitoring devices have been introduced\, such as an “acoustic traffic light” which continuously detects the level of anthropogenic noise and warns\, through light feedback\, when it becomes disturbing.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”81119″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Sonja Di Blasio\, PhD Candidate in Management\, Production and Design\, is a researcher at the Applied Acoustics Group of the Politecnico di Torino.

Something was probably already starting to make me understand what my path would be\, and I always tried to follow it.

Made mandatory by the CAM of 2017\, the standard is part of a broad context of European regulations on the subject (such as the English BB93\, the German DIN 18041) introducing two substantial innovations. The first concerns the indication of a compliance interval of the reverberation time\, according to the intended use and the volume of the environment. For intended uses that require the static presence of a person\, this interval takes into account the acoustic absorption of the occupants. The second novelty concerns the forecast evaluation of the C50 / STI intelligibility criteria. The use of these descriptors\, already anticipated in the CAM 2017\, is detailed here and related to the specific context of the school environments (e.g. the role of background noise\, the vocal effort of teachers …). The introduction of new design logics has consequences on the materials and on the different design criteria to be implemented according to the grade of the structure. Some case studies will be discussed and analyzed from several points of view: respect for design criteria\, perception analysis\, choice of materials.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”81087″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Dario D’Orazio\, electronic engineer\, PhD in applied acoustics.

The virus has had and is having terrible consequences on people’s health\, governments and health authorities of various countries have often reacted by introducing restrictive measures to contain the phenomenon\, including the closure of buildings and public areas until the complete lockdown. In this critical scenario\, however\, some positive effects were also observed. From an environmental point of view\, in fact\, during the lockdown there was a reduction in road traffic\, as well as a reduction in navigation and air transport activities\, which led to a significant benefit for air quality and emissions of noise in the cities.\nDuring the seminar we will discuss the consequences that the pandemic has had in terms of objective reduction of noise levels\, but also in relation to the perception of the sound landscape by citizens.\nA summary of the results of the noise monitoring carried out\, using smart sensors\, in an urban area of ​​the city of Monza\, before\, during and immediately after the lockdown\, will be shown\, using the data collected by the LIFE MONZA project. Some results of two international projects will then be shared\, the first of which aimed at the documentation and subsequent analysis of the changes in the sound landscape\, conducted in the different phases of the lockdown in a town in the Basque Country\, in northern Spain; The second\, The Sound Outside\, which tells of the lockdown in the world during the first phase of the pandemic and which saw the participation of more than 100 sound professionals from various countries. The data objects presented will then be discussed from a philosophical point of view\, in order to understand how our auditory perception has been strongly influenced by listening to the sounds of cities “in silence”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”78223″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Chiara Bartalucci she is post-doc researcher at the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Florence.

These effects are more pronounced for students of lower grades (primary school\, lower secondary school)\, i.e. for those age groups in which key skills are developed from a cognitive\, linguistic and academic point of view. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”81076″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Chiara Visentin\, post-doc research fellow in Applied Acoustics at the University of Ferrara.

Consequently\, the technical-acoustic community faces it in a partial way\, despite being the main sound source and cause of disturbance in many contexts\, such as nightlife environments\, restaurants\, open-plan offices and school environments. \nWhile international research has been studying for some time the effects that anthropogenic noise causes on comfort\, well-being and productivity\, an open problem is that of its measurement. Typically the anthropogenic contribution is added to other sources of noise: in nightlife contexts to traffic noise\, in offices to noise from systems\, in classrooms to the teacher’s speech. Recent applications of simple data-analysis algorithms make it possible to isolate the anthropic contribution and quantify the contribution of sound emission\, in compliance with current acoustic regulations. \nAmong the solutions to mitigate this noise source\, acoustic treatments are not sufficient\, therefore it is desirable to promote the use of new strategies capable of encouraging virtuous behavior in people. In this sense\, noise awareness campaigns have been organized and monitoring devices have been introduced\, such as an “acoustic traffic light” which continuously detects the level of anthropogenic noise and warns\, through light feedback\, when it becomes disturbing.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”81119″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Sonja Di Blasio\, PhD Candidate in Management\, Production and Design\, is a researcher at the Applied Acoustics Group of the Politecnico di Torino.

Even as a child I loved helping my parents while they worked in their restaurant\, and it wasn’t just a game\, there was more. Something was probably already starting to make me understand what my path would be\, and I always tried to follow it. It was precisely following it that I chose the hotel school for my high school education\, graduating in 2008. And always following the same path I started my first work experiences\, from which I tried to make the most to give even more definition to my passion. I wanted my training in the kitchen to be complete\, and at the same time help me to take a specific direction. I worked in the kitchen\, pastry shop and pizzeria\, and that’s how I understood that the right answer for me was pizza. Because with pizza I didn’t really have to choose\, I knew I was giving my creativity the possibility of having no limits. From the appetizer to the dessert\, any dish I wanted to make I could combine with a well-leavened disc of dough\, transforming a dish that was already unique into something even more special.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner]\n			            \n        	\n        	\n        		\n        			\n					   11/12/20\n					\n					   \n					   \n					   \n					\n            		\n			            \n			               [vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”78221″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Friday 11 December 2020 1.30 pm – 2.30 pm \nWebinar on \nThe new UNI 11532-2: 2020 on school spaces \nModerator Arianna Astolfi[/vc_column_text]See it on Youtube[/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The new UNI 11532-2: 2020 standard for the acoustic quality of school environments aims to bring order in a field of standards that has been stratified over time and is not free from ambiguity. Made mandatory by the CAM of 2017\, the standard is part of a broad context of European regulations on the subject (such as the English BB93\, the German DIN 18041) introducing two substantial innovations. The first concerns the indication of a compliance interval of the reverberation time\, according to the intended use and the volume of the environment. For intended uses that require the static presence of a person\, this interval takes into account the acoustic absorption of the occupants. The second novelty concerns the forecast evaluation of the C50 / STI intelligibility criteria. The use of these descriptors\, already anticipated in the CAM 2017\, is detailed here and related to the specific context of the school environments (e.g. the role of background noise\, the vocal effort of teachers …). The introduction of new design logics has consequences on the materials and on the different design criteria to be implemented according to the grade of the structure. Some case studies will be discussed and analyzed from several points of view: respect for design criteria\, perception analysis\, choice of materials.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] \nRelatori\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”81087″ img_size=”250×250″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Dario D’Orazio\, electronic engineer\, PhD in applied acoustics.
