A recent report by The International Facility Management Association (IFMA) shows that over 80% of respondents currently use open plan cubicle panel systems in their space planning. The use of workstations having thus defined the majority of corporate America, has presented new office related problems and issues.

The latest trend receiving focus is office acoustics:

To reduce overhead costs for real estate, corporations are devoting less square footage to each employee and increasing the number of people within a space.

The use of traditional, sheetrock (drywall), private offices is declining rapidly as upper management moves out into the open plan cubicles or into movable, demountable wall offices.

The use of teaming environments, shared spaces and the rise in the use of speakerphones continues to increase sound problems.

Computer hardware and software with voice-activation and animation contributes to an increase in noise as does the industry's change to a 17 inch from a 13 inch monitor screen. This change in screen size increases the amount of surface to reflect noise.
