Abstract
As home offices are becoming more prevalent in our society, it is critical to ensure that the acoustic conditions in those environments are suitable for optimal home office worker performance. In this paper, a measurement survey is presented of existing conditions in several home offices within the metropolitan Omaha, Nebraska area. The data that were gathered include background noise levels (both with and without ventilation noise), air‐borne sound attenuation of the office envelope, and logged data of the office sound levels during a typical 48‐h period over the work week. Summaries of the findings will be discussed and are useful in understanding how residential design and construction should be modified to improve the acoustic conditions of home offices.
