Q-Park Offices Dublin – Acoustic Fit-Out for Meeting Spaces

Q-Park’s Dublin offices were experiencing significant acoustic issues in their boardroom and meeting room, where excessive reverberation and flutter echoes were creating a poor audio environment, particularly during video calls. The challenge was to improve speech clarity and overall acoustic comfort while delivering a solution that complemented the company’s branding and aesthetics.

Services Provided by Allegro Acoustics

1. Reverberation Time Testing

   • Our team conducted reverberation time testing in both the boardroom and meeting room to measure the level of echo and sound reflections in accordance with ISO 3382-2: Acoustics – Measurement of Room Acoustic Parameters.
   • Testing confirmed excessive reverberation times that were impacting speech intelligibility and sound quality.

2. Acoustic Solution Design

   • Using advanced Odeon room acoustics software, we modelled the acoustic performance of the spaces to design an effective solution that reduced reverberation time and eliminated flutter echoes.
   • The design was aligned with the recommendations in AS/NZS 2107:2016 – Acoustics: Recommended Design Sound Levels and Reverberation Times for Building Interiors, ensuring optimal acoustic comfort for meeting spaces.

3. Sustainable Acoustic Installation

   • Our experienced installation team, led by Conor and Sanchit, supplied and installed a series of sustainable polyester sound-absorbing panels.
   • The panels were strategically placed on the walls to maximise sound absorption and finished in Q-Park’s company colours, ensuring the solution was both functional and visually aligned with the brand.
