The thesis deals with measures that affect reverberation time in three lecture rooms of
different sizes. In the first part of the thesis I present theoretical background on sound and
reverberation time and I describe some of the possible measures that can change
reverberation time in a room. This is followed by the practical part of the thesis in which
procedures, methods of measuring and graphical presentation of the results are described. I
use three different types of measuring reverberation time in a room - using the meter, by
simulation in a computer program and using equations. I compare the values of reverberation
time in empty space, occupied space and empty space with closed curtains. The results
obtained are evaluated and compared with the Slovenian legislation. In conclusion, I present
some preliminary studies in this field. They confirm my findings; the types of measuring
reverberation time differ one from another and have their own limitations, and different
measures can impact the reverberation time in a room.
