SUMMARY:Webinar “The acoustics of buildings”
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Scarica l’annuncio[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The building envelope is\, today more than ever\, having to respond to multiple needs that go far beyond simple protection from atmospheric agents. 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.

Classroom acoustics are therefore of great importance in facilitating or hindering students in their learning processes\, and it is essential to carefully design school environments with the primary objective of reducing background noise and controlling the sound tail. \nStudents who learn in classrooms with favorable acoustic conditions will be able to hear better what the teacher is explaining\, keep attention focused while carrying out a task and\, over the years\, develop better phonological skills\, math and reading-writing skills . Conversely\, poor acoustics not only compromise students ‘performance in academic tasks but also affect the amount of cognitive resources required of students to perform those tasks\, impacting the speed with which new information is received and students’ motivation to stay focused. on the task. 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.

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.

Classroom acoustics are therefore of great importance in facilitating or hindering students in their learning processes\, and it is essential to carefully design school environments with the primary objective of reducing background noise and controlling the sound tail. \nStudents who learn in classrooms with favorable acoustic conditions will be able to hear better what the teacher is explaining\, keep attention focused while carrying out a task and\, over the years\, develop better phonological skills\, math and reading-writing skills . Conversely\, poor acoustics not only compromise students ‘performance in academic tasks but also affect the amount of cognitive resources required of students to perform those tasks\, impacting the speed with which new information is received and students’ motivation to stay focused. on the task. 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.
