While
study after study confirms our perception that acoustical (noise) problems have
a substantial affect on efficiency in the office work place, these problems
often go unaddressed. Efficiency has been improved as much as 14% where
measures to deal with these problems have been implemented. The acoustical
concerns regarding commercial office space are both specific and general in
nature and include:
- Overall noise
levels
- Specific
distractions individuals or groups, activities (meeting rooms, public
space, cafeterias) or equipment (HVAC, copy and mail
equipment,
etc.)
- Sound quality
(distortion) in conference rooms especially when used for
tele-conferencing or video-conferencing
- Privacy issues where
confidentiality is important human resources, medical, managerial,
meeting rooms and other areas
- A general concern
with distractions and noise levels in
open plan work space
- Call center and
customer service noise levels.
