Abstract
This project developed design and measurement tools to facilitate the attainment of better speech privacy in open-plan offices. The research investigated the relationships among speech privacy measures, and between these measures and the geometrical and acoustical properties of open-plan office workstations.The paper presents speech privacy criteria for open-plan offices and relates them to the expected intelligibility of speech from a neighbouring workstation. It describes new computer-based tools for the design and measurement of the speech privacy in open-plan offices.
