Bulevardi 2 at a glance
Client:
Property Owners of Bulevardi 2.
Objective:
The client’s objective was to tackle the echo issues and improve the space acoustics, using sustainable and natural acoustic tiles.
Solution:
To tackle the echo issue, Aisti® Teno was installed on the ceiling of the office. The tiles used in this showcase were developed in our pilot plant in Jyväskylä, Finland. The product was also delivered and installed by our team.
Space:
Nestled in Helsinki’s vibrant city center at Bulevardi 2, our client’s commercial office space exudes modernity and style. Despite its modern interiors and Nordic design, the space presented a challenge for acoustic management.
The property owner of this beautiful space contacted us to enhance the space’s acoustics to promote creativity and productivity for future tenants.
Result:
By installing the tiles on the ceiling, Teno can effectively absorb sound reflections, significantly reducing echo within the office environment.
The choice of ceiling installation not only optimized acoustic performance but also maximized usable floor space, ensuring a seamless integration of functionality and aesthetics.
Despite encountering challenges, this experience provided valuable insights into tile usage and prior customer success consultation improvements for future projects.
Sound performance measurements for a sound space
In the world of acoustics, precision is key.
We use Reverberation time as the primary metric to compare and assess the acoustic quality in the room, with comparisons made before and after tiles installation.
Reverberation time is defined as the time it takes for the sound pressure level to reduce by 60 dB, measured after the generated test signal is abruptly ended. There are also construction regulations defining the needed reverberation time of different rooms, which is why we chose that measurement to evaluate the acoustic properties of the space before and after the installation of acoustic tiles
While we have achieved significant improvements across (29%) on each of the octave bands, further improvement of the 125 Hz octave band is possible with the addition of a few more tiles.
By addressing echo issues through tile installation and considering complementary measures, Bulevardi successfully improved office acoustics, paving the way for a more productive and safe working environment.
