Room Analysis

Review a room in Room Analysis

2.2 interface

Check one room’s geometry, predicted reverberation and surface materials before testing a design change.

On this page

You’ll need: A Revit project with placed, enclosed rooms; a standard, occupancies and surface materials set up; and a signed-in account with analysis access.

Open a room#

  1. Click Room Analysis on the Acouso ribbon, then select the room in Revit.
  2. When the window loads, confirm the room name and number.

You can also select a room in Project Schedule and click Open Room Analysis.

One window shows the room’s identity, inputs, results and surface composition. Select the image to enlarge it.

Check the geometry and target#

Confirm the occupancy, recommended reverberation time, height, floor area and volume match the room you mean to assess. Leave overrides alone for a first look.

Read the Reverb Time chart#

  1. Select Reverb Time.
  2. Compare the overall RT60 and each frequency band with the recommended maximum.
  3. Use the legend: filled bars are the current design, outlined bars are the bare room, and red marks values over the target.
In this example, the overall prediction is above the target. Select the image to enlarge it.

Inspect a surface#

  1. Select a wall, floor or ceiling in the diagram or surface table.
  2. Read its Base Material, Finish and Acoustic treatment.
  3. Click Inspect to see the Revit construction behind it.

If a Generic or unresolved material message appears, fix the material before relying on the result. An unavailable result is not a zero.

Check your result#

You know the room’s target, its predicted reverberation and what each surface is made of. To test a change, add a finish or treatment.
