Evaluation of an acoustic conditioning panel made from typical Colombian fibres

Abstract

A perforated panel from guadua fibres is implemented after acoustic characterization of the fibres. The acoustic characteristics of the fibre are identified and further, the acoustic behaviour of the acoustic absorption system made from guadua is analysed. It proves the suitability of natural fibres and bioresidues for systems which goal is to bring acoustic comfort to society. In this sense, the present research is aligned with the principles of Sustainable Development agreed at Rio de Janeiro, in 1992.
