INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings
Acoustic comfort is an essential factor for the quality of built environments and the health of users, influencing well-being and productivity. Often, acoustic solutions are incorporated late in the project, resulting in rework. This paper presents the ODES method, which organizes the application of strategies for acoustic comfort in four stages: (1 ...
