Office Canteen Acoustics in Corporate Offices & Co-Working

Acoustic performance in a office canteen directly impacts the functionality and occupant experience of corporate offices & co-working buildings. The RT60 target of ≤1.0s is set to ensure that the space meets its intended purpose, whether that involves speech intelligibility, noise control, or sound isolation from adjacent areas.

The key metric of LAeq ≤45 dB addresses the primary acoustic concern for this room type. Achieving this target typically requires a combination of absorptive surface treatments, appropriate construction mass, and careful attention to flanking paths and HVAC noise contributions.

Achieving speech privacy in open-plan areas (STI < 0.50 beyond distraction distance) while maintaining clear communication in enclosed meeting rooms.
