Creating a Comfortable Acoustic Environment in Offices with Sound Map Pro
DAIKEN Corporation, based in Osaka, Japan, has recently introduced Sound Map Pro, an innovative service tailored to assist in the creation of comfortable office environments during renovations, new constructions, and relocations. Following a trial proposal period, this unique service is set to make its debut in the office market.
Overview of Sound Map Pro
Sound Map Pro provides a comprehensive solution to address existing acoustic challenges. It includes several plans such as "Sound Environment Measurement" to understand current sound issues, and "Acoustic Simulation" which allows clients to visualize and audibly assess the sound environment of their new office before moving in. With these features, DAIKEN is committed to making workspaces more comfortable by crafting customized acoustic solutions based on client needs.
In addition to these services, DAIKEN has developed an acoustic laboratory called the Sound Environment Laboratory. This facility will further enhance measurement and simulation techniques, enabling new product development aimed at improving sound environments in various office spaces. Additionally, DAIKEN will drive its "Sound Environment Solutions Proposal" to create and promote pleasant acoustic spaces using Sound Map Pro as a core offering.
What is Sound Map Pro?
Sound Map Pro aims to align the sound perception among stakeholders involved in office design. Since sound is invisible and subjective, achieving consensus on acoustic performance levels among project members has been a challenging task. Poor design choices may lead to significant issues, such as voices leaking from conference rooms or echoed sounds making conversations difficult. Sound Map Pro mitigates these problems through three tailored solutions during the design phase:
1.
Current Situation Assessment via Sound Environment Measurement
2.
Experiencing Improvement Effects through Absorption Material Rental in Existing Offices
3.
Visual and Auditory Simulation of New Office Sound Environment
Detailed Explanation of Acoustic Simulation
One of the standout features of Sound Map Pro is its indoor acoustic simulation. This involves creating a 3D model from architectural drawings, incorporating building materials to simulate the sound environment. It then displays a color map to visually represent the sound distribution within the space. Additionally, sample sound sources can be created to demonstrate how sound will be perceived in various areas of the new office, effectively providing both visual and auditory experiences.
This approach allows clients to forecast what their new office will sound like, even before any construction begins. The simulation can also offer tailored visualizations based on client specifications, such as sound reflection patterns and directional sound strengths.
Example of Simulation Proposals
DAIKEN has successfully executed acoustic simulations for various clients, such as the construction of the JP Tower Osaka, showcasing how different specifications can impact sound leakage and echo in specific office environments. Potential clients will see how sound waves interact within the various spaces through visual and auditory simulations, thus facilitating a better understanding of their acoustic environment.
