During the initial construction of Won buddhism, the sound absorbing material and diffusion material were used in the interior of the Won buddhism, so the sound performance at each buddhism could not be secured above a certain level, and even in the case of the Won buddhism Bukil dharma hall, the reverberation and volume of the sound generated inside the sanctum was too loud, and since the establishment of the buddhism continued to be dissatisfied, the improvement of the acoustic performance was very urgent. From this perspective, this study measured acoustic performance of the Bukil dharma hall before remodeling, determined the acoustic defects and status, and used acoustic simulation to present three plans for improving acoustic performance. Taking economic feasibility, construction, and construction duration into account, remodeling was performed on the basis of Plan 1 and post-remodeling acoustic performance was measured for comparative analysis of acoustic performance between before and after the improvement. The results of study, before and after sound performance improvement sound pressure level (SPL500Hz) was 71.9dB at 79.4dB , the weighted sound level (SPLdB(A)) was 79.7dB(A) at 89.4dB(A), reverberation time (RT500Hz) was 1.12sec at 1.49sec, early decay time (EDT500Hz) was 1.39sec at 1.63sec, definition (D50,500Hz) was 34.9% at 32.3%, clarity (C80.500Hz) was 1.0dB at –0.4dB, and RASTI was 60.0%(“Good”) at 51.3%(“Fair”) was evaluated. Therefore, the Bukil dharma hall was after remodeling, neither definition(D50) improved notably but excessive volume and reverberation and sound mixing almost disappeared and acoustic performance improved so much that many different events and services could be held.
