The sound office is a vital part of a sustainable working life. To be able to create a sound office you need to consider the following:
- Make room for brain work - create a variation of environments
- For the open-plan office – focus on minimizing speech propagation
- For enclosed rooms – focus on speech clarity
If you achieve this, there will be many benefits for both staff and companies, thus a sustainable workplace. Good acoustics in the office can for example:
- Reduce adrenaline levels with 30%
- Improve task motivation with 60%
- Improve performance during concentration demanding tasks with up to 50%
- Improve mental arithmetic performance with 20%
