How ISVR Consulting improves acoustic design for various environments

Good acoustics aren’t a luxury anymore, they’re essential. Whether in classrooms, lecture theatres, or offices, sound affects focus, communication, and overall wellbeing. Poor acoustics can lead to distractions, fatigue, and stress, while the right acoustic treatments create clarity and calm. At Presentation Spaces, we help schools and workplaces meet BB93 standards with tailored wall, ceiling, and mobile acoustic panels that transform noisy spaces into focused, comfortable environments.

📑 Our team at dicea_univpm has recently published a new paper “Perceptual and physiological virtual assessment of Indoor Living Walls including lighting settings” in Building and Environment, co-authored with Gabriele Bernardini, Ludovica Marcelli, Elisa Di Giuseppe, and Marco D'Orazio. 🪴The study investigates how Immersive Virtual Environments can support the pre-design phase through prototyping activities of a modular Indoor Living Wall, by analysing the interaction between lighting settings required for proper plant vitality, and users' visual comfort, physiological responses and eye-tracking metrics. 🔗 Pre-proof available here: https://lnkd.in/eAjyyvfF

Measuring Lighting Environments at CYCU Auditorium with In. Licht Ultra Recently, we conducted a series of lighting environment measurements at CYCU Auditorium, testing how different scenes and presets impact visual comfort, color quality, and overall user experience. ➡️ Same space — different lighting scenes, different results. With In. Licht Ultra, we were able to: 🔹 Compare multiple lighting scenes under real conditions 🔹 Evaluate color quality, contrast, and visual clarity 🔹 Check flicker, illuminance, CCT, spectrum, and other key parameters 🔹 Measure circadian-impact metrics including: CAF, EML, M-EDI, S/P Ratio, Blue-Hazard Ranking & Circadian Stimulus (CS) 🔹 Verify whether the installed lighting meets the design intent during commissioning ⚠️ Important Note on Flicker Flicker is one of the most common issues neglected during the design stage — and is often only discovered during commissioning, when it’s too costly or too late to fix. ➡️ Early measurement helps prevent performance issues, occupant discomfort, and rework. ➡️ Measure early. Adjust early. ➡️ What we often assume “looks good” does not always meet the standards for human comfort and wellbeing — until we measure it. Why In. Licht Ultra? Whether you’re a Lighting Designer, Facility Manager, WELL AP, or Other Consultant, In. Licht Ultra helps you measure, verify, and optimize lighting with science — not guesswork. Perfect for: 🔹 Design verification & mock-ups 🔹 Pre-handover commissioning 🔹 Post-installation tuning & troubleshooting ✨ Lighting isn’t just about brightness — it’s about quality, experience, and purpose. Always measure. Always validate. 🛒 Shop In.

DESIGNING BUILDINGS FOR ALL LISTENERS Did you know that people with hearing loss tend to use low frequency content to maximize speech intelligibility? On the other hand, normally, regulations and guidelines tend to: - only address reverberation times in the medium and high frequency regions and; - use LAeq (equivalent A-weighted sound pressure level) to limit internal background noise, which is not a good indicator for low frequency noise. Therefore, in spaces where different types of listeners are expected and where good listening conditions are paramount, such as museums, classrooms*, auditoriums and others, design opportunities to control noise in the low frequency region should be considered - even when these are not mandatory. We call it design opportunities, because many times the solutions occur naturally during the dialogue between the different teams involved in the project. This close cooperation with architects and other engineering colleagues in the pursuit for creative, integrated and sustainable acoustic solutions will help shaping buildings with inclusive acoustic conditions. * UK BB93 is a good example where inclusive acoustic design is addressed.

Eye tracking is changing how we design. We should not design based on assumptions. We must design based on evidence. Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/ePejX5gc #Neuroarchitecture #EyeTracking #Wayfinding #EvidenceBasedDesign #DesignResearch

Every great acoustic design starts with understanding how sound behaves — how it reflects, absorbs, and diffuses within a space. This basic drawing explains the fundamentals of room acoustics, showing how surface materials and geometry affect sound quality. Whether it’s an auditorium, studio, or workspace — the goal is always the same: ➡️ Reduce noise ➡️ Enhance clarity ➡️ Create comfort Because good acoustics don’t just happen — they’re engineered. 🛠️🎶 #Acoustics #SoundEngineering #NoiseControl #BuildingAcoustics #AcousticDesign #SoundAbsorption #SoundReflection #Diffusion #ArchitecturalDesign #EngineeringLife #SustainableDesign #HVACNoise #VibrationControl #AcousticConsultant #LearnAcoustics #STC #NRC #ReverberationTime

Hybrid learning and meetings are the new normal 💻📺. Designing spaces that accommodate screens, AV tech, acoustic panels, and whiteboards all in one can be tricky — especially in older or uniquely shaped buildings. ThinkingWall Media Walls integrate everything in one modular, freestanding unit. Units can house existing AV equipment or include recommended solutions, creating clean, functional, and visually impressive lecture rooms or collaborative spaces. For estates teams, that means less coordination, reduced disruption, and guaranteed reliability. Students and staff benefit from spaces that just work. #AVIntegration #HybridLearning #UniversityDesign

Conference room acoustics: It's a two-part solution: Many facilities only address half the problem. Here is what complete acoustic comfort and privacy require: Inside the room: In this installation, MPS Trak acoustic panels in Evergreen were installed to eliminate reverberation and reduce noise for clear communication. https://lnkd.in/eRvhn5Wm Outside the room: VoiceArrest™ sound masking was added to protect speech privacy, preventing confidential conversations from leaving the meeting space. https://lnkd.in/ekanhnUb The result? Meetings where participants hear each other clearly without worrying about who else might be listening. Conference room acoustic solutions are most effective when they target both internal clarity and external privacy. Focusing on only one creates gaps in your strategy.
