Overview

Acouso-ROOM is a Revit add-in for practical acoustic workflows. Use it to set project standards, run project-wide analysis, inspect room-level performance, visualise reflection paths, manage material data, export project packages, and generate reports.

Quick Start

  1. 1Open User Hub, go to Authentication, enter your code, and click Verify.
  2. 2Open Acouso-ROOM, assign occupancies in Project Standards, then click Run Acoustic Analysis.
  3. 3Review outcomes in Project Schedule.
  4. 4Use Room Analysis, Ray Analysis, Material Library, or Import/Export based on your next task.

Acouso-ROOM

Acouso-ROOM

Configure project acoustic settings and run project-wide analysis.

Steps

  1. 1.Click Acouso-ROOM.
  2. 2.In Project Standards, select a standard and set occupancies using Set Occupancy.
  3. 3.In Settings, choose your analysis settings.
  4. 4.Click Run Acoustic Analysis.
  5. 5.Review outcomes in Project Schedule.
  6. 6.Use Import/Export for project packages, backups, restores, and report exports.
  7. 7.Use Custom Standards to add, duplicate, edit, or remove standards and occupancy types.

Results

Per-room schedule outputs with occupancy and reverberation results. Project-wide compliance view. Project packages for transfer or backup. Optional readable report exports.

Room Analysis

Room Analysis

Diagnose and improve one room at a time.

Steps

  1. 1.Click Room Analysis.
  2. 2.Select a room in the Revit model, or open one from a Project Schedule row.
  3. 3.Use the left panel for compliance, geometry, room height, occupancy, and RT60 review.
  4. 4.Use Apply beside Room Height to override height, or Default to revert.
  5. 5.Use the occupancy dropdown to set a room-level override, or Use Default to revert.
  6. 6.Use the center room diagram and Room Comments to inspect and annotate surfaces.
  7. 7.Use the surface table and Add Material to change finish or treatment selections.

Results

Detailed room boundary and surface context. Updated reverberation results after material, height, or occupancy changes. Visual feedback when room-level overrides are active.

Ray Analysis

Ray Analysis

Visualise reflection paths and identify highly impacted surfaces.

Steps

  1. 1.Click Ray Analysis.
  2. 2.In Settings, define Number of Rays, Cone Spread Angle, Reflections, Max Total Path Length, and Ray Offset.
  3. 3.Click Run Reflection Analysis and select a model surface.
  4. 4.Review the ray visualisation and reflection outcomes in the schedule panel.

Results

Visual reflection behaviour in model context. Surface hit ranking feedback for reflection-sensitive areas.

Material Library

Material Library

Build and maintain the material set used in Acouso-ROOM workflows.

Steps

  1. 1.Click Material Library.
  2. 2.Review the material table and select an item to inspect.
  3. 3.Use Add Material to create new entries, or Duplicate to start from an existing material.
  4. 4.Set structure type, acoustic values, and material role.
  5. 5.Use Save Material (and Delete Material where needed).

Results

Updated material data available to analysis and room treatment workflows.

Common Workflows

Project-Wide Analysis

  1. 1.Verify your licence in User Hub.
  2. 2.Set room occupancies in Acouso-ROOM → Project Standards.
  3. 3.Click Run Acoustic Analysis.
  4. 4.Review Project Schedule and identify rooms needing refinement.

Room Refinement

  1. 1.Open Room Analysis and select a room.
  2. 2.Review current RT60 and surface assignments.
  3. 3.Adjust occupancy or room height where the project defaults need a room-specific override.
  4. 4.Adjust finish materials or add treatment.
  5. 5.Re-check updated RT60 and compliance state.

Reflection Review

  1. 1.Open Ray Analysis.
  2. 2.Tune settings based on project scale and required detail.
  3. 3.Run analysis from representative source surfaces.
  4. 4.Use visual output and schedule feedback to prioritise treatment changes.

Standards Setup

  1. 1.Open Acouso-ROOM → Custom Standards.
  2. 2.Add, duplicate, or edit a standard and occupancy types.
  3. 3.For each occupancy type, set the room-use name, target limits, and default materials.
  4. 4.Save the occupancy type, then save the standard.
  5. 5.Apply the standard through Project Standards and assign occupancy types to rooms.

Import / Export Transfer

  1. 1.In Acouso-ROOM → Import/Export, use Export to create a .acousoroom package for transfer.
  2. 2.Use Import to merge package data into the currently open project.
  3. 3.After import, recheck the project schedule and standards assignments.

Backup and Restore

  1. 1.In Acouso-ROOM → Import/Export, use Full Backup to create a local workspace backup.
  2. 2.Use Restore Backup only when intentionally recovering from a backup package.
  3. 3.Review the confirmation message before continuing — restore workflows can replace local project data.

Report Export

  1. 1.Run acoustic analysis so analysed room data is available.
  2. 2.In Acouso-ROOM → Import/Export, click Export Report.
  3. 3.Select rooms, choose the schedules to include, choose a ZIP destination, then click Generate.
  4. 4.Use the generated ZIP package for readable review material.
