How sound affects an occupant’s health and comfort indoors.

The comfort of a space is made up of many factors, and an often-overlooked factor is the acoustics in a room. Building occupants can be affected by both external and internal sounds. Our IEQ module on how sound affects health and comfort will investigate how we manage room acoustics and crosstalk from ventilation systems, and what attenuation solutions can be put in place to reduce sound levels to improve the health and productivity of building occupants.
