As part of a project evaluating the performance of six ‘‘green’’ office buildings, detailed acoustical measurements were made to explain the positive and negative comments of building occupants obtained from a questionnaire survey. The objective was to determine how to design better green buildings. This paper presents an overview of the measurement protocal used, the measurements made, the results, and the lessons learned regarding optimal design.
