Lecture: A comparison study between prediction models and in situ measurements of acoustic clouds in open plan offices.
Author(s): Nakazato Marcela, Raeder André, Borin Marcel
Summary:
Open plan offices are now one of the most common form of workspaces and in order to establish acoustic performance criteria and field measurements procedures for these spaces, new standards and many research are being developed. \nWhen considering acoustic open plan offices design, there is a lack of specific methods to predict the precise influence of acoustic clouds and baffles since the characterization of these products by ISO 354 does not represent the real-life setups.\nIn this paper, several prediction models are compared to in situ measurements aiming to evaluate its suitability, by means of Reverberation Time evaluation. The main objective of this study is to identify which existent prediction model can be used to enable the development of more precise acoustic design of open plan offices. \n
