Work performance in private office rooms: The effects of sound insulation and sound masking
Building and Environment, 2016 Abstract Our purpose was to examine whether present sound insulation guidelines of private office rooms provide optimal cognitive performance and acoustic satisfaction. 32 voluntary students participated in our laboratory experiment. The experiment simulated two adjacent office rooms. Speaker was in room 1 and listener in room 2.

Thermal and sound insulation performance assessment of vacuum insulated composite insulation panels for building façades [PDF]
Advances in Building Energy Research, 2018 Composite insulation panels (CIPs) currently used in building façades require significant design changes e.g. increased thickness to realise higher thermal and sound insulation performance. This study deals with the manufacturing and characterisation of smart façade panels for achieving higher thermal and sound insulation dual characteristics in one ...
