Smart acoustic furniture, Public tender for research and development projects (TRL 6-9), MEDT (2016-2018)
As part of the project, a modular acoustic system (MAS) was developed to improve acoustics in the office environment. MAS is designed to partition jobs in the office environment and offers an extremely high level of sound absorption. The system acts as a system of partition walls, wall elements and partitions on the workbench. In addition, smart acoustic elements have been developed to flexibly control the sound field in the low frequency range. Such elements are especially useful in studio rooms and rooms intended for music reproduction. The project was implemented in partnership with company Alples d.d.
Operation “Smart Acoustic Furniture”: “The investment is co-financed by the Republic of Slovenia and the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund”. Duration: 24 months. The value of public co-financing of the operation is EUR 308,725.
