Why condition a classroom acoustically?

1. Increased Student Participation: A study from the University of California, Berkeley (2018), found that students were more likely to participate in classrooms with adequate acoustics.
2. Reduction of Behavioral Problems: According to a report by the Swedish Board of Education (2016), noise reduction in the classroom can decrease student behavior problems.
3. Increased Parental Satisfaction: A study from the University of Wisconsin (2020) showed that parents were more likely to be satisfied with their children's education when the school offered an adequate acoustic environment.
4. Improvement of Energy Efficiency: The application of acoustical materials often improves the energy efficiency of the building, as indicated by a report by the US Green Building Council (2019).
5. Increase in Information Retention: A study from Yale University (2018) found that students were able to retain more information in an environment with less noise.
