• Status: Completed Project

Description:

In this project audible demonstrations of acoustic designs of different offices are accompanied by acoustic parameters calculated from room acoustic simulations. These acoustic parameters have been implemented in current regulations and standards.

For different acoustically designed offices the subjective acoustic perception can be assigned to the values of physical parameters used in guidelines and regulations.

The combination of auralizations and technical parameters will help to clarify the impact of acoustics in office design from the point of view of architects and employers with the purpose to avoid failures in office design in the future.
