AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS ON ACOUSTICS The Acoustical Society of America (ASA) provides the Secretariat for Accredited Standards Committees S1 on Acoustics,
14、 S2 on Mechanical Vibration and Shock, S3 on Bioacoustics, S3/SC 1 on Animal Bioacoustics, and S12 on Noise. These committees have wide representation from the technical community (manufacturers, consumers, trade associations, organizations with a general interest, and government representatives). T
15、he standards are published by the Acoustical Society of America as American National Standards after approval by their respective Standards Committees and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). These standards are developed and published as a public service to provide standards useful to
16、the public, industry, and consumers, and to Federal, State, and local governments. Each of the Accredited Standards Committees (operating in accordance with procedures approved by ANSI) is responsible for developing, voting upon, and maintaining or revising its own Standards. The ASA Standards Secre
17、tariat administers Committee organization and activity and provides liaison between the Accredited Standards Committees and ANSI. After the Standards have been produced and adopted by the Accredited Standards Committees, and approved as American National Standards by ANSI, the ASA Standards Secretar
18、iat arranges for their publication and distribution. An American National Standard implies a consensus of those substantially concerned with its scope and provisions. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by direc
19、tly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered and that a concerted effort be made towards their resolution. The use of an American National Standard is
20、 completely voluntary. Their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he or she has approved the Standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the Standards. NOTICE: This American National Standard may be
21、revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this Standard.

32、American National Standard Acoustical Performance Criteria, Design Requirements, and Guidelines for Schools, Part 1: Permanent Schools. This standard comprises a part of a group of definitions, standards, and specifications for use in noise. It was developed and approved by Accredited Standards Comm
33、ittee S12, Noise, under its approved operating procedures. Those procedures have been accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The Scope of Accredited Standards Committee S12 is as follows: Standards, specifications, and terminology in the field of acoustical noise pertaining
34、to methods of measurement, evaluation, and control, including biological safety, tolerance, and comfort, and physical acoustics as related to environmental and occupational noise. At the time of publication of this document, the ANSI/ASA S12.60 series of standards includes the following American Nat
35、ional Standards: ANSI/ASA S12.60-2010/Part 1 American National Standard Acoustical Performance Criteria, Design Requirements, and Guidelines for Schools, Part 1: Permanent Schools ANSI/ASA S12.60-2009/Part 2 American National Standard Acoustical Performance Criteria, Design Requirements, and Guideli
36、nes for Schools, Part 2: Relocatable Classroom Factors. Work is also underway on a new part, ANSI/ASA S12.60/Part 3, American National Standard Acoustical Performance Criteria, Design Requirements, and Guidelines for Schools, Part 3: Information Technology Equipment in Classrooms. An informative tec
37、hnical report is also planned as Part 4 of this series which is envisioned to cover, at a minimum, the topics previously included in ANSI/ASA S12.60-2002 (R 2009), Annexes A, B, D, F and G. This standard is not comparable to any existing ISO Standard. At the time this standard was submitted to Accre

Blaeser, Secretary 3M Occupational Health FAX: 631-390-0217; E-mail: asastdsaip.org. 2010 Acoustical Society of America All rights reserved vii Introduction It is essen
39、tial that both architectural and mechanical design provide good acoustical characteristics for classrooms and other learning spaces in which speech communication is an important part of the learning process. Excessive background noise or reverberation in such spaces interferes with speech communicat
40、ion and thus presents an acoustical impediment to learning. With a classroom having good acoustical characteristics, learning is easier, deeper, more sustained, and less fatiguing. Teaching should be more effective and less stressful with well designed acoustical characteristics in a classroom. Ther
41、e can be more verbal interaction and less repetition between teacher and students when spoken words are clearly heard and understood. All those in a classroom, including teachers and adult learners, will benefit from a classroom having the acoustical characteristics recommended in this standard. Spe
42、cial beneficiaries are young children and persons with hearing, language, speech, attention deficit, or learning disabilities. Conformance to the requirements and guidelines of this standard will improve the quality of education by eliminating acoustical impediments for all students and teachers, in
43、cluding those with communication disabilities. This standard seeks to provide flexibility for the design of learning spaces without compromising the goal of obtaining adequate speech intelligibility for all students and teachers in classrooms and learning spaces within the scope of this standard.

45、12.60 is applicable to core learning spaces and classrooms with interior volumes not exceeding 566 m3 (20 000 ft3) and to ancillary learning spaces of any volume. Learning spaces with volumes larger than 566 m3 (20 000 ft3) are considered ancillary learning spaces for purposes of this standard. Anne
46、x A provides testing procedures when optional tests are performed to determine conformance with the source background noise requirements and the noise isolation requirements of this standard. Annex B provides commentary information on various paragraphs of this standard. Annex C provides guidelines
47、for controlling reverberation in classrooms and other learning spaces. This Part does not apply for natatoria, auditoria, music performance spaces, teleconferencing rooms, or special education rooms such as those for severely acoustically challenged students, which all require special acoustical des
48、ign and treatment that is not within the scope of this standard. This Part does not apply to relocatable classrooms or relocatable modular learning spaces, which are covered by Part 2 of ANSI/ASA S12.60. 1.1.2 Acoustical performance criteria are specified in this standard by limits on the greatest o
49、ne-hour average A-weighted and C-weighted background noise levels and by limits on reverberation times when students are expected to be present. 1.1.3 The control of background noise levels in this standard is achieved, in part, by specifying the minimum outdoor-to-indoor transmission class (OITC) ratings and sound transmission class (STC) ratings, depending upon the sound source, to reduce noise that intrudes into the classroom or learning space from sources outside of the building env
