Description

In August 2024, construction of Rockwool’s Acoustic Laboratory in Hedehusene, Denmark was completed. The laboratory includes a reverberation chamber and vertical, horizontal, and flanking transmission facilities. The vertical transmission facility is being commissioned to comply with the requirements of ISO 10140. This paper presents the commissioning process, interpretation of standard’s requirements, and the challenges encountered. In particular, the relationship between reverberation time, diffusivity, and loudspeaker optimization is discussed.Selected measurement results are presented together with the testing framework used to evaluate the facility. Based on this experience, a proposed sequence of commissioning activities is also outlined for future laboratories or companies planning and commissioning similar facilities.
