Good acoustics are among the key priorities for LEED certifications, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Areas of focus include: measuring sound isolation and speech privacy, as well as reducing background noise and external noise, including those from heating and cooling systems and noise from adjacent spaces. Minimize the effect of reverberation from hard surfaces, which can degrade speech intelligibility and increase the “noisiness” of a space. owl.li/HcXYd
