Course Description: CEU Events: Acoustics in Open to Structure Environments
In person (requires the presence of a live instructor, classroom, webinar, streamed event)
As more and more commercial interiors, from offices to schools, veer toward open concepts and exposed structures, the spaces become susceptible to noise. And for occupants, excessive noise can lead to increased stress, lower productivity, decreased focus, and poor communication. This session will help architects understand the challenge by exploring how sound is generated, transmitted, and reverberates. Attendees will learn a simpler approach to sabins, how to calculate absorption, and how to apply that knowledge to designing ceiling systems that hit the sweet spot for noise reduction.

Learning Objectives:
Address acoustical design challenges in open to structure spaces, intending to improve occupant wellbeing
Identify mechanical noise considerations and noise control techniques that benefit those occupying the space
Understand various measures of sound absorption and reverberation time and how its proper application can benefit occupant health, safety, and welfare
Examine sound control techniques and acoustical treatments best suited for open to structure spaces
