These two details about the occupied space are required to calculate room noise deductions for an acoustic analysis.

What are the room volume and surface absorption? (i.e., are the room surfaces absorptive or reflective?)

400

These are a recommended method of providing heating in an underfloor or displacement application to avoid airflow disruptions 

What are radiant panels, fin tube enclosures, or natural convective heaters (Also accepted RPMs, RPLs, LEs, DLEs, LNTs)
