Architectural acoustic design is an important aspect in the development of any building project as any
other technical aspect of modern construction, it is concerned with providing a satisfactory acoustic
environment and good hearing conditions in every building and best serve the functions intended, such as
work, sleeping, entertainment .. etc.
If the acoustics of a finished building is found unsatisfactory, it is often too late to do anything without
great difficulty or much more expenses.
Good Acoustics Must Be Designed In Advance .
To make a simulation or to predict the acoustic performance of an enclosure during the design stage,
the designers can make experimental simulation techniques or models in acoustic labs, this method is
usually time-consuming and expensive. In recent years the capabilities of computers in this field have
increased and the computer simulation is thus a better alternative for predicting the acoustics of enclosed
and open spaces.
This paper illustrates and discuss the possibilities of using computer modeling techniques in the
acoustic design which help architects in predicting the acoustic performance of the spaces they design
before being constructed and thus preventing the difficulties and expenses of correction afterwards.
