Building Acoustics

Aims & Scope

Building Acoustics is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal concerned with acoustics in the built environment.

The goal of the journal is to be the main publishing option for authors writing on building acoustics and related topics, as well as a forum to integrate the relevant research community of the field.

Potential readers are scientists, consultants, engineers, architects, builders and representatives of public bodies carrying out research and development in the field of acoustical aspects of buildings.

There is an emphasis on the application of new knowledge and the provision of information useful to the practitioner.

Interdisciplinary studies, correlating the acoustical aspects of buildings with their thermal or lighting performance, are also welcome.
