Abstract:

The General Services Administration (GSA) Workplace 20.20 initiative includes acoustical design analysis for offices. Internet questionnaires about acoustics and occupant satisfaction have been filled out by hundreds of GSA office workers. These results have been correlated with acoustical testing that our firm, Charles M. Salter Associates, Inc., has conducted during the last 4 years around the country. Survey responses, which are correlated with the results of our acoustical testing, will be presented.
