Improving acoustics in education and childcare
A good pedagogical climate at school or in childcare is very important for the development of children.
Factors such as the correct behavior of sound and good acoustics in the room can improve the learning environment, so that there is more peace in a room.
This stimulates the growth process of children in a positive way.

Customization for childcare and education
When determining the best acoustic solution for your situation, we always take into account a number of important things, such as the room where the problems occur, the causes of the noise problem and the laws and regulations that may apply.We are happy to look at these factors together with you1. Which room(s) has (have) acoustic problems?
The areas where acoustic problems most commonly occur in education and childcare are:
- the classroom,
- the canteen or auditorium,
- the gymnasium
- the group rooms at the daycare center or after-school care.
2. What are the causes of the acoustic problems?
At Incatro, we always carry out an acoustics measurement on location before we recommend a solution for your school or daycare. In doing so, we keep in mind that the acoustic implementations must match the interior, create no space restrictions, can take a beating and comply with the hygiene rules within the organization. Incatro's products are also custom-made and can be incorporated in your space in a creative and unique way.
3. Which laws and regulations with regard to noise and acoustics apply to education and childcare?
Childcare
In The Netherlands here are no specific laws and regulations regarding the acoustic climate in a daycare center or after-school care. The rules for noise in childcare are about what a daycare means for the environment and what influence the environment has on the people in these locations. Room acoustics are therefore not specifically named within the design rules of this sector. Within the framework of the Dutch Working Conditions legislation, the creation of a pleasant working environment for pedagogical staff and the children does of course apply.
Education
In the Netherlands a special program called “PVE Frisse Scholen” has been drawn up for education. This contains requirements with regard to 5 important themes. With regard to room acoustics, the sound component indicates which reverberation time is acceptable. With an average reverberation time in the furnished classroom of a maximum of 0.8 seconds, the room acoustics in the relevant room are qualified as sufficient. For an excellent qualification, the reverberation time in the equipped classroom should be a maximum of 0.4 seconds.
Gymnasiums and sport halls
In The Netherlands standards have been drawn up for gymnasiums and sports halls by NOC-NSF (ISA-US1-BS1; “Reverberation times and background noise level” of June 2005). In this standard, maximum permitted reverberation times are given, depending on the type of room and the dimensions of the room.
Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg have their own rules.
Would you like to know how you can improve the acoustics in your room(s)? Then make an appointment for an acoustic measurement.

Project highlighted; University of Twente
With its more than 25 years of experience, Incatro has been able to carry out many acoustics improvement projects in education and childcare. This is also the case at the University of Twente.
Two lecture halls in the "De Spiegel" building had too many sound reflections, so that speakers were barely audible and students therefore had to make a great effort to be able to follow the lectures undisturbed and concentrated.
Incatro has installed a combination of different acoustic solutions that brought the reverberation time back to pleasant times.
