Problems include distortion of speech intelligibility due to interference by unwanted sound, lack of speech privacy and interruption during the communication by other co-workers. Studies of comparison between open and closed-plan offices have shown the psychological effect on occupants due to these acoustical problems within the open-plan offices. This paper explores the characteristic of room acoustics in open-plan Offices that enhance the ability for speech comfort, particularly to support speech privacy. Computer modeling and Simulation approach were used to determine in particular the speech privacy distance on 3 types of open-plan office layout. It was found that there is a unique difference of speech privacy distance among the 3 types of layout. This result would be useful for designing the working space layout in open-plan office with regards to speech privacy and intelligibility.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Acoustical problems,Computer modeling and simulation,Computer modelling and simulation,Open-plan offices,Psychological effects,Room acoustics,Speech privacy,Working space[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
