After being inspired by Amneh’s research about students experience of their study soundscapes we caught up for an interview with her and found out more about Amneh and what her broader interests are around her research. Amneh has just recently completed her PhD with TU Delft. Do all university students prefer quiet and private study […]
The Impact of Ceiling Profiles on Room Acoustics
Introduction The project aims to explore an underutilized aspect of acoustic optimization: the geometric design of ceilings profiles. While material-based solutions have been extensively studied and implemented, ceiling geometry offers a largely untapped opportunity. Research has consistently shown that ceilings significantly influence room acoustics. However, they are often treated as static, planar elements designed primarily […]
Acoustics and WELLbeing: the WELL Building Standard
Building standards often consider the performance of a building, including energy efficiency, water consumption and material usage. But what about the occupants? An environmentally friendly, well-built building provides no guarantees that their needs will be considered, even when certified in most cases. Unless it has a WELL Building Standard certification, that is, which considers thermal […]
