Architectural Acoustics for Today’s Buildings
This course is registered with 29 industry associations and Health, Safety and Welfare eligible.
Noise pollution is excessive environmental noise that disrupts the activity or balance of human life. As urban environments have become increasingly dense, the noise problem has magnified, negatively impacting mental and physical health. Sound is everywhere, but it can be controlled with architectural solutions. This course provides a refresher on the basic science of acoustics and how sound interacts with our surroundings. From there, the course explores various architectural solutions, the technology behind them, and how they are successfully integrated into buildings to reduce noise. Discussion of installation applications addresses sound control options for retrofits and new construction.
Shaping Sound: Dimensional Acoustic Solutions for the Modern Architect
This AIA-certified course explores how dimensional acoustical panels improve sound absorption, diffusion, and design impact. Attendees will learn how acoustics affect built environments, key metrics for evaluating solutions, and the unique benefits of thermoformed and sculpted panels.
