Based on the geometric measurements provided and the acoustical data measured, calculate the total absorption in this room in each octave band.

To do this, you will need to calculate the volume of the BPC. It is not a simple shoebox shape like the other rooms we have looked at, so this will require some effort. You will need to divide the floor into rectangles and triangles to find the area.

Once you know the volume, you can calculate total absorption by solving the Sabine equation for A instead of the usual T60. A = 0.16(V/T60)

Use the T60 data measured in the demonstrations. You may pick any of the data sets (sweep, MLS, balloon) for your calculations.

In the end, you should have a total absorption, A, for each octave band.

Scan or photograph your work and submit.

Answer the questions below separately from the summary.

Respond to the 10 questions below.  Place your completed project in dropbox.  (15 points for summary, 10 points for answers to questions below).

1.   List the 4 goals of this research study.

2.   What is “in situ” assessment? 

3.   Interobserver agreement is discussed in the textbook on pgs 101-104. 

(a) Describe the process as used in the current article.

(b) Describe how this agreement was calculated in the current article.   

4. List the rating method used to score each participant’s responses when finding a gun in his/her natural environment.

5.  What was the independent variable and describe how it was conducted.

6.  The total time spent coaching each peer trainer to conduct BST sessions ranged from 90 minutes to 115 minutes, with a mean score of 102.5 minutes.  Explain why the number of minutes varied.

7.  Review Figure 1 in the current article.  Which child’s baseline score was consistently perfect?

8.  In Figure 1 which child’s score (after training) improved the greatest from his/her first assessment (after training) to the second assessment?

9.  Review Figure 2 in the current article.  Study the data collected for each of the six participants during the maintenance phase of the project.  It varies significantly. 

(a) Briefly report how each participant performed during the maintenance phase. 

(b) What variables do you think may account for these differences?

10.  In evaluating the performance of all participants in this study, do you think the 4 goals of the study were accomplished?  Why or why not?
