Comfort in the Workplace
The workplace elements of comfort include:
-Proper use of space (facility space planning)
-Lighting (to provide and control)
-Temperature (ability to control)
-Furniture (support and facilitate)
-Acoustics: ability to control
Often overlooked
Part of ergonomics

ESI (Educational Services Institue) conducted a national survey in 2015 of 1,836 millennial workers who identified the Top 3 elements most important to their productivity and well-being
Industry Research

Reverberation= The greatest challenge in controlling acoustics = The reflection of sound waves off the surfaces of an environment
Reverberation time= the time required for a sound to dissipate, measured in seconds
Speed of sound = over 1,000 feet per second

Snowsound: A Unique Solution
![Page 6: Snowsound Presentation_New_August 2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a66db51a28abb47e8b58bf/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Technological invention of a new sound-absorbing material
Industrial invention patent
Selective absorption at different frequencies
Snowsound® is Technology
![Page 7: Snowsound Presentation_New_August 2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a66db51a28abb47e8b58bf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Snowsound® Acoustics
Inspired by nature, Snowsound® is a sound
absorbing material that mimics the properties of
freshly fallen snow.
The porous variable densities of fallen snow can
absorb almost 100% of sound wave energy and
is why we experience peaceful outdoor acoustics
just after snowfall.
![Page 8: Snowsound Presentation_New_August 2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a66db51a28abb47e8b58bf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
More dense outside and less dense inside
This produces a “frequency-selective”
sound absorption
This produces acoustic correction and balances the frequencies in
the given space
External surface is firmly bonded to the inner wadding for a rigid surface
High densitymaterial
Medium densitymaterial
Low density material
The Technology – SNOWSOUND® DNA
![Page 9: Snowsound Presentation_New_August 2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a66db51a28abb47e8b58bf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Hz = unit of measurement that indicates frequency - i.e. the number of times something occurs per time interval.
0 500 2000 … low medium high
(Percussion instruments, Air conditioning, Printers…)
Human voice / Speech (Violin, Whistle…)
The Hertz and Sound Frequencies

The Technology
![Page 11: Snowsound Presentation_New_August 2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a66db51a28abb47e8b58bf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
However: More absorption does not equal more comfort
The Technology
Higher the frequency = easier the absorption
![Page 12: Snowsound Presentation_New_August 2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58a66db51a28abb47e8b58bf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

How Many Panels Are Needed? Acoustic Calculation Methodology - Input
• Data collection • Elements
- Size of the room (square feet)- Height of the ceiling- Materials of the room surfaces- Purpose of the room- Number of occupants - Current room furniture
• Pictures of the environment• Your notes about the space
