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.

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.

The class rooms for vocal music lessons at the college of music should be prepared with acoustic performance having similar quality to a real theater. However, most of domestic music colleges used too many sound absorbing materials, so that a sound is too dry and poor, which makes a singer to increase the sound level. Furthermore, because of this acoustic characteristics, at a theater a singer comes to hear a total different sound of his own song. For this, students and professors are in trouble during a lesson. At the study from this point of view, the finishing materials were changed to have the best sound condition by site measurement and acoustic simulation. It is assumed that the study result above will be used as an effective document to improve acoustic performance.
