Improved acoustical privacy is the principal goal of the acoustical design of open plan offices. As the replacement of the Articulation Index (AI), the Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) can be used as a single-number measure of the speech privacy in open-plan offices. In this paper, a mathematical model of the speech propagation over single screens in a large open-plan office space is presented. The calculated effects of the office parameters, such as the screen height, ceiling and floor absorption, etc. on the SII behind the screen are discussed and are compared with measured results. To facilitate the practical use of the model, an empirical correction is derived from a wide range of ceiling tiles to provide values of the effective sound...
