Improving acoustics in an open office

Good acoustics in an open office are very important for a pleasant and healthy working environment. Good office acoustics can be achieved by reducing excessive reverberation in the room. For office workers, excessive reverberation leads to poor speech intelligibility, fatigue due to distractions, reduced concentration and increased stress levels. Acoustic challenges:

Low reverberation time
No reflections from ceiling and walls
Less direct sound transmission between workstations
Few distractions and noise nuisance from each other

What results in good acoustics in an open office?

More and more open-plan offices are being furnished with many hard materials such as glass walls, a concrete floor and a steel ceiling. Too many hard materials lead to annoying sound reflections and excessive reverberation. In addition, the trend towards open-plan offices has resulted in a lot of noise nuisance between employees. A calling colleague can distract an entire work floor. Acoustic improvements lead to:

Speech intelligibility

By adding absorption, the reverberation in the room is reduced and this ensures better sound quality and increased intelligibility.

Speech privacy

By better shielding sound with acoustic barriers (desk screens, dividers), sound can spread less easily. As a result, employees experience less direct nuisance from each other.

Healthy workplace

A good acoustic environment results in less fatigue, less stress and ultimately less absence due to illness.

Productive workplace

Fewer distractions and improved concentration through the right acoustic solutions ensures that an employee will work more efficiently.
