ABCDs of Balanced Acoustic Design
To support employee engagement and performance, acoustic design solutions should consider the following:
- Absorbing sounds within the space
- Blocking sounds between spaces
- Covering intruding sounds with background sounds
- Diffusing sound energy evenly in a space
Acoustical design is a thoughtful integration of all elements in a space working together to support the intended activities of that space.
