However, the design of these work-stations must follow the characteristics of tasks and their interrelationships, since adverse physical and organizational conditions may have a negative impact on work productivity.

متن کاملDescribing Levels of Speech Privacy in Open-Plan Offices
The primary goal of the acoustical design of conventional open-plan offices (cubicle style) is to achieve an acceptable level of acoustical or speech privacy. That is, we would like to make it more difficult for occupants to hear and understand speech sounds from adjacent workstations. We can therefore measure speech privacy by measuring the intelligibility of speech sounds from adjacent workst...
متن کاملPrediction of Speech Transmission Index in Open-plan Offices
According to questionnaire studies, speech is the most annoying sound source in open-plan offices [1]. The most distracting speech comes from the nearest workstations. Therefore, speech privacy between workstations should be as high as possible, that is, the speech transmission index, STI, should be low. This presupposes that the speech is properly attenuated, e.g. using absorbents, screens, an...
متن کاملThe Acoustical design of conventional open plan offices
This paper uses a previously developed model of sound propagation in conventional open plan offices to explore the influence of each parameter of the office design on the expected speech privacy in the office. The ceiling absorption, the height of partial height panels and the workstation plan size are shown to be most important. However, it is not possible to achieve ‘acceptable’ speech privac...
