A Catholic school is a school that spreads religious ideology to students by combining religious education with regular school curriculum. But, most Catholic schools do not have a separate liturgical space, mass is performed in multipurpose spaces such as auditoriums, and are exposed to severe acoustic defects due to the very aging facilities and lack of sound performance suitable for the liturgical space. So, in this study, an improvement plan was proposed using sound simulation after identifying acoustic defects through field measurements in the liturgical space of Haeseong High School in Jeonju. Also, hearing experiment using Acoustic Psychological Analysis was conducted to identify changes in subjective responses felt by students as they improved their acoustic performance. The results of study, before and after sound performance improvement sound pressure level(SPL500Hz) was 64.8dB at 66.7dB, the weighted sound level(SPLdB(A)) was 67.9dB(A) at 75.8dB(A), reverberation time(RT500Hz) was 2.04sec at 2.52sec, definition(D50,500Hz) was 40.2% at 33.5%, clarity(C80.500Hz) was –0.8dB at –1.18dB, and RASTI was 57.7% at 49.2% was evaluated. In addition, the amount of improvement in subjective responses before and after sound performance through psycho-acoustic experiment decreased by “Reverberation” -17.0%, “Loudness” -11.3% and increased by “Clear” 21.3%, “Vivid” 21.3%, “Intimacy” 12.4%, “Warmth” 14.3%, “Stability” 19.3%, “Godliness” 18.8%. Therefore, after improving sound performance, Haesung High School's liturgical space improved satisfaction with subjective sound performance felt by students and teachers to ensure sound performance suitable for the liturgical space.

Building Equipment field is getting important recently which satisfies the requirement for pleasant living environment. But, the noise generated in the machinery room often violates the pleasant living environment of residents in complicated form of airborne noise and soild sound, its seriousness is increasing so that damage of noise can take large percentage of environmental complaints. So, soundproofing and insulation of sound which can minimize such noise and effective countermeasure in case of civil appeal are required, but research materials regarding building equipment are definitely insufficient domestically. In this respect, this study used Zwicker parameter which is applied by psychological and acoustic reactions according to sound quality, analyzed sound quality of 32 kinds of building equipment used in machine room, and analyzed correlation between dB(A) and PSIL which are items of Zwicker parameter and noise valuation based on that. As the results, if valuates altogether loudness and unbiased annoyance which have high correlation with other existing suggested valuating methods, it is considered that it can be utilized as basic data for more reasonable and accurate grasping characteristics of noise from building equipment and for building effective countermeasure in case of civil appeal.
