AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies cannot directly predict the overall work efficiency attenuation based on single-value evaluation parameters of sound quality in open offices. It is necessary to measure or calculate the speech transmission index for a large number of sound sources and receiver locations one by one and then solve for the efficiency attenuation separately, resulting in a huge workload and being time-consuming and laborious.
By acquiring individual sound quality evaluation parameters and planar dimension parameters, a relationship function between the speech transmission index and the distance from the sound source to the receiver is established. Combined with the relationship function between speech intelligibility and individual work efficiency attenuation, the overall work efficiency attenuation is calculated using area integration, avoiding the need to measure the speech transmission index of each location combination individually.
It enables rapid prediction from individual sound quality evaluation parameters to overall working efficiency attenuation, reducing measurement workload and calculation time, and improving prediction efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of architectural acoustics, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for predicting the decline in work efficiency in open-plan offices. Background Technology
[0002] Open-plan offices are widely used due to their high flexibility and efficient space utilization. However, their lack of physical partitions results in poor privacy for speech, and the noise generated by conversations between office workers can have a significant negative impact on work efficiency.
[0003] Currently, the international standard ISO 3382-3 defines a set of single-valued evaluation parameters for assessing the acoustic quality of open-plan offices. These parameters include speech spatial attenuation rate, A-weighted speech sound pressure level at four meters, distraction distance, and A-weighted background noise sound pressure level. These parameters can be obtained through standardized acoustic measurement methods and can comprehensively characterize the acoustic performance of open-plan offices. Meanwhile, the academic community has established a quantitative relationship model between speech intelligibility (characterized by the Speech Transmission Index, STI) and individual work efficiency attenuation, providing a theoretical basis for evaluating office efficiency from an acoustic perspective.
[0004] However, the speech transmission index (STI) is a point-to-point parameter describing the intelligibility of speech between a specific sound source and receiver location, and its value varies with the spatial combination of the source and receiver locations. In a real open-plan office, any office worker can potentially become a source of speech noise, while other office workers are potential sources of interference. Therefore, it is necessary to consider all possible source-receiver location combinations within the office space. To accurately assess the overall work efficiency attenuation, current methods require measuring or simulating the STI for a large number of location combinations, then substituting each into an efficiency attenuation model for solution, and finally averaging the results. This process is extremely labor-intensive and time-consuming, making it difficult to apply in practical engineering projects involving architectural acoustics design and office environment optimization.

[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0043] To better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0044] This invention discloses a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for predicting the attenuation of work efficiency in open-plan offices. It aims to solve the problem that existing technologies cannot directly predict the overall work efficiency attenuation based on single-value evaluation parameters of sound quality in open-plan offices, but require measuring or calculating the speech transmission index of a large number of sound sources and receiver locations one by one before solving for the efficiency attenuation.
[0045] Please see Figure 1The first embodiment of the present invention provides a method for predicting the decline in work efficiency in an open office, which can be executed by an open office overall work efficiency decline prediction device (hereinafter referred to as prediction device or system), specifically, by one or more processors within the prediction device, to at least achieve the following steps:
[0046] S101, obtain the sound quality single-value evaluation parameters and planar dimension parameters of the open office. The sound quality single-value evaluation parameters include the speech spatial attenuation rate, A-weighted speech sound pressure level at four meters, distraction distance, and weighted background noise sound pressure level. The planar dimension parameters include the planar width and planar length.
[0047] In this embodiment, the prediction device or system may be a server, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, or other terminal with data processing capabilities. The prediction device may be equipped with a corresponding operating system and application software, and the functions required in this embodiment are realized through the combination of the operating system and application software.
[0048] In this embodiment, the first step is to obtain the single-value acoustic quality evaluation parameters and planar dimension parameters of the open-plan office. The single-value acoustic quality evaluation parameters are obtained through acoustic measurements according to the ISO 3382-3 standard, and specifically include four parameters: speech spatial attenuation rate. Characterizes the attenuation of speech sound pressure level with increasing distance; A-weighted speech sound pressure level at four meters. This represents the speech intensity level at a distance of four meters from the sound source; distraction distance. The speech transmission index is defined as the distance from the sound source to the receiver when it equals 0.5, representing the effective range of speech interference; A-weighted background noise sound pressure level. The four sound quality parameters characterize the ambient noise level in the office, excluding speech. All four parameters can be obtained by setting up measuring equipment in the open-plan office and following the measurement procedures specified in ISO 3382-3. The planar dimensional parameters, including the width W and length L of the open-plan office, can be obtained through on-site measurement or by consulting architectural drawings. These parameters serve as input data for subsequently establishing the relationship between the speech transmission index and the distance from the sound source to the receiver.
[0049] S102, Based on the single-value evaluation parameter of sound quality, establish a relationship function between the speech transmission index and the distance from the sound source to the receiving point;
[0050] In this embodiment, a relationship function STI(r) between the speech transmission index and the distance from the sound source to the receiver is established based on the acquired single-value sound quality evaluation parameters. The process of establishing this function is as follows:
[0051] First, calculate the sound pressure level of spoken language in each octave band at a distance of r meters from the sound source. Based on A-weighted speech sound pressure level at four meters. and speech spatial decay rate According to the formula Calculate the A-weighted speech sound pressure level at a distance of r meters from the sound source. Then, combined with the spectral correction coefficient S of the signal speech in the j-th octave band j According to the formula The sound pressure level of speech in each octave band was obtained, among which The values at the center frequencies of the seven octave bands of 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 Hz are -7.5, -3.1, 0.6, -5.4, -12.6, -18.6, and -23.9, respectively.
[0052] Then calculate the background noise sound pressure level for each octave band. Background noise sound pressure level based on A-weighted Spectral correction coefficients for background noise in the j-th octave band According to the formula The calculation yielded, where The values at the center frequencies of the seven octave bands of 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 Hz are 3.2, 0.2, -2.8, -5.8, -8.8, -11.8, and -14.8, respectively.
[0053] Next, the reverberation time T is determined. The reverberation time T is related to the distance r from the sound source to the receiver and the distraction distance. The relationship is: T takes the value that makes The value that holds true is that the speech transmission index is exactly 0.5 at the distraction distance.
[0054] Based on this, the apparent signal-to-noise ratio is calculated. First, according to the formula... Calculate the relative intensity ratio m of the signal and noise, and then use the formula... The apparent signal-to-noise ratio of the j-th octave band at the i-th modulation frequency at a distance r meters from the sound source is obtained, where the modulation frequency is... The values are 14, ranging from 0.63, 0.80, 1.00, 1.25, 1.60, 2.00, 2.50, 3.15, 4.00, 5.00, 6.30, 8.00, 10.00, to 12.50 Hz.
[0055] Then calculate the modulation transfer function value. According to the formula The modulation transfer function value of the jth octave band at a distance r meters from the sound source is obtained by summing and averaging the apparent signal-to-noise ratios at 14 modulation frequencies.
[0056] Finally, the Language Transfer Index (STI)(r) is calculated. According to the formula... Using gender-based octave band weighting factors and adjacent octave redundancy factor The modulation transfer function values of each octave band are weighted and calculated to obtain the relationship function between the speech transmission index and the distance from the sound source to the receiver. The values at the center frequencies of the seven octave bands (125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 Hz) are 0.085, 0.127, 0.230, 0.233, 0.309, 0.224, and 0.173, respectively. The values are taken as 0.085, 0.078, 0.065, 0.011, 0.047, and 0.095 at six octave bands of 125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz, respectively. Through the above calculation process, the relationship function STI(r) between the speech transmission index (STI) and the distance from the sound source to the receiver point, based on the single-value sound quality evaluation parameter, can be established.
[0057] S103, Based on the relationship function between the language transmission index and the distance from the sound source to the receiving point, and combined with the relationship function between language intelligibility and individual work efficiency attenuation, establish a relationship function between individual work efficiency attenuation and the distance from the sound source to the receiving point;
[0058] In this embodiment, based on the established relationship function STI(r) between the speech transmission index and the distance from the sound source to the receiver, and combined with the relationship function between speech intelligibility and individual work efficiency attenuation, a relationship function IDP(r) between individual work efficiency attenuation and the distance from the sound source to the receiver is established. This function uses the sigmoid function form to express the nonlinear relationship between speech intelligibility and work efficiency attenuation, and the specific calculation formula is as follows: Where STI(r) is the language transmission index and the distance from the sound source to the receiver established in the aforementioned steps. B , k, and are the parameters of the function relating language clarity to individual work efficiency decline. The values of these four parameters vary depending on the language environment and the type of work task, and need to be determined based on the actual usage of an open-plan office. Taking a European language environment and short-term memory tasks as an example, the function relating language clarity to individual work efficiency decline is derived from research data of four European languages (Finnish, Swedish, French, and German), and its corresponding parameter values are... = 16.0, B = 16.7, =0.3, k = 0.1. This parameter combination targets short-term memory tasks where work efficiency is highly sensitive to changes in the speech transmission index. By substituting the speech transmission index (STI) function (r) relating the distance from the sound source to the receiver into the above formula, we can obtain the individual work efficiency attenuation function (IDP) relating the distance from the sound source to the receiver. This function describes the percentage decrease in work efficiency caused by speech interference for an office worker located r meters away from the speech noise source.
[0059] S104. Based on the relationship function between the individual work efficiency attenuation and the distance from the sound source to the receiving point and the plane dimension parameters, the overall work efficiency attenuation of the open office is calculated by integrating the area of all sound source positions and receiving point positions within the plane of the open office.
[0060] In this embodiment, based on the established relationship function IDP(r) between individual work efficiency attenuation and the distance from the sound source to the receiver, and the planar dimension parameters, the overall work efficiency attenuation OPD of the open-plan office is calculated by integrating the area of all possible combinations of sound source and receiver locations within the open-plan office space. In an open-plan office, any office worker can potentially become a source of speech noise, while other office workers are potential recipients of interference. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the impact of all possible combinations of sound source and receiver locations on overall work efficiency. A Cartesian coordinate system is established with one corner of the open-plan office as the origin. Let the coordinates of the sound source location be... The coordinates of the receiving point are The distance between the sound source and the receiving point The formula for calculating the overall work efficiency degradation (OPD) is as follows: Where W is the width of the open-plan office space and L is the length of the open-plan office space. This formula uses a quadruple integral to iterate through all positions of the sound source in the width direction from 0 to W, and in the length direction from 0 to L, as well as all positions of the receiver within the same range. For each combination of sound source and receiver positions, it calculates the individual work efficiency attenuation value at the corresponding distance, and then divides it by the square of the total area W. 2 L 2 Normalization is performed to obtain the average value of the overall work efficiency decline in open-plan offices. This method transforms the discrete multi-point measurement problem into a continuous area integral calculation, which can comprehensively reflect the combined impact of all location combinations within the office space, and realizes direct prediction from single-value sound quality evaluation parameters to overall work efficiency decline.
[0061] The prediction method is validated below with an example:
[0062] Acoustic measurements were performed on three actual open-plan offices, including ISO 3382-3 acoustic quality measurements and the average speech transmission index. The overall working efficiency attenuation was measured, and the room's floor plan dimensions were also measured. Among these, the ISO 3382-3 single-value evaluation parameter for sound quality included the spatial attenuation rate of speech. Voice A weighted sound pressure level at four meters Distraction distance A-weighted background noise sound pressure level In each open-plan office, the average speech transmission index and overall work efficiency were measured by arranging 56 sound source and receiver locations in a 7x8 configuration, as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0063] Where S is the location of the sound source; R is the location of the receiving point.
[0064] Predict the speech transmission index at each measurement point, calculate the average speech transmission index of the room, and then predict the average speech transmission index of the room. Actual measurements and predictions The results are shown in the table below. Among them, the error range for the three open-plan offices is 0.014 to 0.023, all of which are less than the minimum perceptible difference (JND, the corresponding value for STI is 0.03).
[0065]
[0066] The prediction method is set to a European language environment and the task is a short-term memory task. The variables in the relationship function between language clarity and individual work efficiency decay in the corresponding prediction method formula (9) are... For 16.0, 16.7 0.3 The value is 0.1. The relationship function between language clarity and individual work efficiency decay is derived from research data of four European languages (Finnish, Swedish, French, and German), and the work efficiency of the short-term memory task it targets is highly sensitive to changes in STI, making the validation of the prediction method more effective.
[0067] The measured ISO 3382-3 sound quality single-value evaluation parameters and office floor plan dimensions were input into the prediction method to obtain the predicted overall work efficiency attenuation of the open-plan office. The measured speech transmission index at each location was substituted into the relationship function between speech intelligibility and individual work efficiency attenuation to obtain the individual work efficiency attenuation at each location. The average value was then used to obtain the measured overall work efficiency attenuation of the open-plan office. The measured and predicted OPD were compared, and the results are shown in the table below. The error range for the three open-plan offices is 0.15% to 0.27%, all less than 0.3%.
