  bibo_abstract:
  - In offices and most other working environments a high speech privacy and a low
    noise level is desired to allow for concentrated work and calm work conditions.
    Hence a low Speech Transmission Index (STI) is required, as even irrelevant speech
    information at lower volumes can be extremly disturbing and performance reducing.
    At the same time working environments demand for other - often conflicting - requirements
    such as transparency to ensure visual connections and daylight transmission, functional
    flexibility for diverse activities in the same space and for hygienic, environmental
    or security aspects. These requirements have to be balanced by a sensible and
    intelligent design and layout of absorbers and partition elements and partition.
    Three research projects investigated an optimised design of low and mid frequency
    absorbers for working environments to improve the acoustic and design quality
    of different products. Acoustically optimised indoor spaces may become more important
    in the future due to an increase of hearing impairments in the aging population
    as well as in the younger generations. This is seen not only as a technical but
    as a design challenge to balance optimised sound pressure levels, reverberation
    times and Speech Transmission Indices. © 2016, German Acoustical Society (DEGA).
