Two pieces of software were developed as part of the COPE project:
COPE-Calc (Acoustics)
COPE-Calc is an acoustics design program that can model the propagation of speech from one cubicle to another. It accounts for cubicle geometry, acoustical properties of materials and sound levels of background noise and speech. You can compare alternative workstation designs. The results can be displayed graphically; you can also listen to the results.

COPE-ODE (Office Design Evaluator) - No longer available. Please consult the reports.
COPE-ODE is online software that runs directly in your web browser. It accounts for cubicle geometry, light reflectivity and acoustical properties of materials and sound levels of background noise and speech. It also allows input of cost data which allows you to do cost-benefit comparison of alternative workstation designs. Outputs include physical measures of lighting and acoustic performance and indicators of satisfaction with lighting, privacy, and ventilation.
