Radiant slab systems have the potential to achieve significant energy savings, yet, when applied in the ceiling (e.g., thermally activated building system) the exposed concrete may also create acoustical challenges due to the high reflectivity of the

Possible path for speech privacy design and performance approaches

Speech privacy (or the lack thereof) is becoming a well-defined issue relating to “acoustic comfort” as a factor in building IEQ. This is the case for commercial offices as well as for healthcare spaces. The drivers for this include worker produc

Since 2011 I’ve been involved as a principal investigator (Armstrong World Industries) on several research programs encompassing approximately 100 primary and middle grade schools throughout China. Initially, this research was coordinated with Tong

Architects design the “visual space” that we can all see, and this we call architecture. Acousticians upon entering this visual space invariably clap their hands, and as such are assessing the resulting “aural space.” Acoustics is the result

Architecture and acoustics … form and function—What comes 1st?

Publikováno v: The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America. 136:2181-2181

When I first studied architecture, it was expected that “form fits function” was pretty much a mantra to design. But is that the case today or has it ever been when acoustics are concerned? Numerous post occupancy studies of worker satisfaction w
