Solutions-oriented design must include acoustics in order to be holistic. Including sound masking says a mouthful about your capability in design. Here's what you're able to do:
1. Achieve a positive end result at very low cost. Approximately $1/sq ft (on the basis of 10,000 sf) will convert below average functionality into highly functional space wherever distractions and/or speech privacy are issues.
2. Open doors that have previously shut you out. Corporations that have standardized one systems furniture manufacturer can incorporate sound masking from any dealer and improve their existing system’s performance.
3. Give your clients green. US Green Building Council awards two (2) LEED certification points for addressing acoustics in healthcare facilities. Sound masking is thereby validated to increase profitability while reducing the negative environmental impacts of buildings and improving occupant health and well-being.

4. Be a resource for federal regulations. We don't hope Lencore sound masking works; we prove it. • Healthcare facilities can demonstrate HIPAA compliance. United Health Care and Kaiser Permanente have standardized the use of Lencore sound masking in their facilities. • Financial institutions can safeguard disclosure of nonpublic personal information in accordance with GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act). Bank of America and Ernst & Young have standardized Lencore sound masking in their facilities.
5. Save your clients construction dollars. • Relax wall standards and include sound masking to achieve a higher privacy index than floor-to-structure walls with insulation alone. It’s a better solution at a lower cost. • Use budget allocated for paging to incorporate sound masking/paging/music in one system. The quality of the paging is exceptional. The addition of masking is serendipity. 6. Build relationships... ...earlier. Sound masking is often included in the construction phase. Build relationship at the start of a project and other goods will follow. ...better. People are happier when they work in comfortable space. Solve their acoustical issues and the client relationship will open to include other issues.
