Sound absorption
Conversion of sound energy into heat when passing through or striking a material or when causing a volume of air to resonate

low = <0.45
medium = >0.45, <0.65
high = >0.65

 

Sound attenuation
Term used in relation to the transmission of sound between rooms sharing a common plenum

low = <30 dB
medium = 30<dB<35
high = >35 dB

 

Light Reflectance
Indicates the quantity of light reflected by a surface, expressed as a percentage value

1 = <75%
2 = 75<%<85
3 = >85%
