The acoustics and ventilation design tool applied retrospectively to four 19th century buildings

The aims of that paper were : first, to demonstrate the acoustics and ventilation design tool generating the geometric features, the simple acoustics properties and the natural rates for buildings, ranging from a simple open-plan office to a multi-purpose space. Then, to apply the design tool retrospectively to four 19th century buildings so that the validity of the design tool may be discussed, its effectiveness demonstrated and evaluated.
