Room Acoustics

The ambitious and complex new building was designed to meet the highest standards of functionality and cost-effectiveness. Particular attention was paid to the building acoustics planning of the office, meeting and conference rooms, which are protected against eavesdropping and eavesdropping-proof. Extensive building acoustics measurements proved that the acoustic requirements for these rooms were met. Another focal point was the acoustic consulting services for the building services installations. In addition to standard services such as protecting the neighbouring buildings from disruptive noise emissions, the technical control centres and storage facilities for the building services systems were planned in such a way that even when the emergency power system is in continuous operation, the neighbouring offices can be operated without disruption. Targeted room acoustics measures ensure perfect speech intelligibility in the conference rooms and associated control and interpreting booths.
