520 _aAims to show how individual workplace performance can be adversely affected by other staff talking in nearby workspaces, and in an open-plan office. Uses mathematical models to quantify performance loss. Finds that performance loss, as a result of poor acoustics, can be related to the speech intelligibility in a space. Considers it possible to improve productivity through better design.
