Sound in open plan offices – update
"Sound design of open plan offices” is a Nordic research project that started 2006 and will be finished 2008. The project is partly financed by the Nordic Innovation Centre and has delegates from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The aim of the project is to identify acoustical parameters with relevance for the acoustical conditions in open-plan offices. So far, measurements has been carried out in five offices, two in Sweden and one each in Denmark, Finland and Norway. The staff in these offices has also respond to a questionnaire that reflects the present acoustical environment. Next step will be acoustical improvement of some of the offices followed up by measurements and a new round with the questionnaires.
