Acoustics play an important role in occupant performance and well-being in office interiors. SoftZone provides unparalleled design flexibility for creating architectural pendant lighting with effective sound attenuation properties.
Noisy open office areas, sound-reflecting surfaces and other low-absorption design elements can increase the background din, distract occupants and contribute to lower productivity in the workplace. SoftZone improves acoustics by enhancing speech clarity where needed and by preventing people’s conversations from disturbing other people.
When sound strikes a surface or a wall, some of it is reflected (reverberation), some of it is absorbed and some of it is transmitted to the other side. The nature of the obstacle determines how much sound is reflected, absorbed and transmitted. A measure of a material’s performance is the absorption coefficient α:
α = 0 if totally reflective
α = 1 if totally absorptive and/or transmissive
Information
For Linears – Target Total Luminaire Lumens, calculate by multiplying the original length by your desired lumen value. For example, if you want 800 lumens, multiply 800 × 4 (original length). Target Total Luminaire Lumens input would be 3200.
For optimal accuracy, always use a maximum length of 4ft. Anything beyond this includes only one light source. Note: Direct/Indirect scales proportionally and cannot be adjusted separately.
