Predicting acoustic compliance before the survey
4:35
Episode notes
Covers the real standards Echo checks a result against: BB93 for UK classrooms, ANSI/ASA S12.60 for North American core learning spaces, DIN 18041 for Germany/DACH -- and is honest that restaurants, retail, hotel bars and co-working floors have no single mandated legal target, so those get compared against equivalent guidance instead.
Draws the same honest line Echo states everywhere: this is a design-stage prediction, and a formal measured survey to BS EN ISO 3382-2 by a qualified acoustician is what a contractual sign-off actually needs.
