1. An apparatus for sheltering occupants comprising:
a built structure having a habitable environment;
an acoustic sensor array configured to measure sound parameters;
a central control circuit communicatively coupled to the acoustic sensor array, the central control circuit configured to:
delineate occupant zones based on an electronic floor plan;
delineate acoustic zones within one or more of the occupant zones based on the electronic floor plan; and
instruct installation of acoustic sensor arrays according to the following parameters:
if acoustic sensor arrays available are less than a total of the occupant zones, installation of the acoustic sensor arrays occurs based on occupant zones having a highest frequency of use, and
if acoustic sensor arrays available are equal to or greater than a total of the occupant zones, at least one acoustic sensor array is installed per occupant zone, and installation of acoustic sensor arrays in occupant zones with more than one delineated acoustic zone occurs based on an identified order of preference.
