Sound Absorbing Elements In Office Workplace
Résumé
In recent years, providing comfortable working conditions in open office spaces has become a growing challenge. The ever-increasing demand for office work implies the emergence of more and more new office spaces, which generates the need for a proper interior design. There are many acoustic solutions available on the market that support the acoustic comfort in office spaces by ensuring the appropriate level of privacy and low level of acoustic background. One of such solutions is the use of desktop screens, which divide employees' space. The paper presents methods of using transparent and PET sound absorbing materials distributed differently on such screens as well as at the office desks. The analyses were performed using 1:8 scale model measurements and computer models created in CATT-Acoustic. The obtained results allowed the determination of the most preferable locations which combine high sound absorption properties of office furniture pieces with little material usage.
