What will I learn?
This course equips you with practical methods to forecast, evaluate, and enhance sound quality in open-plan offices. Explore essential acoustic principles, sound propagation, and frequency impacts, then use geometric and energy models, RT60 calculations, and one-third-octave techniques on actual spaces. Conclude with effective strategies for barriers, absorbers, layouts, and diffusers ready for immediate application.
