Project Description

Office Room Acoustics

Room acoustic of office design mainly includes sound insulation design and privacy.  But for open-style office, the emphasis of the acoustic design should focus on communication. Keep words heard the confidentiality, including the reasonable allocation of work area, partition and ceiling sound insulation design and control of reverberation time.
