RESUMO:

Some buildings have complex acoustic characteristics in their use, such as churches and other worship spaces. In this universe, we highlight the expressive growth of the Christian-evangelical religious modality, which is expressed in activities involving music, dance, theater and spoken word at similar levels of importance according to the type of service performed, transforming the religious space into a scenario with varying demands to meet the spiritual sensations demanded by the user. When it comes to Brazilian standardization, the ABNT NBR 12179 presents reference values for the “Protestant Church” Reverberation Time (RT) without differentiating specific aspects or activities, which is a problem since this recommendation doesn’t cover the complexity these spaces and justifies the need to analyze them based on other parameters, since the variety of acoustic uses in worship implies distinct requirements of acoustic conditioning treatment. Therefore, the general objective of the research is to evaluate the acoustic quality of evangelical churches with different acoustic uses, considering the sound perception of users, in order to answer the research question: “How do normative parameters of acoustic treatment reflect the comfort level of users in various types of evangelical worship?". The methodological procedures consist of the measurement of objective acoustic parameters in two evangelical churches of different categories, which will be compared with the users' perception obtained through specific questionnaires. Initial results show that experiential church, due to the occurrence of speech and music amplified by electroacoustic system at equivalent levels of importance, demands quality levels destined to low reverberant spaces like “conference rooms”, differentiating itself criteria commonly associated with traditional churches.
