PRECISION OF ROOM ACOUSTIC MODELLING IN OPEN-PLAN OFFICES
Inter-Noise 2022, 2023Room acoustic models are often used to predict parameters that describe acoustic conditions in various spaces, also in open-plan offices. An open-plan office of 81 m² was experimentally studied using 22 different room acoustic conditions. The conditions were built using typical absorption materials, office screens, and furniture.
