Resource Systems Group, Inc. Environment, Energy & Acoustics

The key issues involved with acoustics in institutional spaces are clear speech intelligibility in lecture rooms and speech privacy for all other rooms. Tied into speech intelligibility and speech privacy is the appropriate background sound level within each room.

Our architectural acoustics staff works with designers to create the aural environments appropriate for their intended uses. Our sound measurements and analyses inform the specification of finish materials and room shapes that result in the best speech intelligibility for lecture rooms and the most practical wall designs for privacy.
