Whether it’s single-number ratings or design goals, the language of architectural acoustics and noise control can be quite confusing. This presentation will review where single-number ratings come from, what they really mean, and what designers need to know when working with an acoustical consultant. We will also delve into the acoustical facets of various sustainable design programs. Jessica will wrap up by answering questions related to the presentation or any other questions attendees bring related to acoustics, noise control, and design. This Lunch & Learn is being offered in-person and virtually. Registration details below.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
  • Understand the general concepts of the major components of architectural acoustics: sound isolation, HVAC noise, and finish treatments.
  • Understand what the single number acoustical ratings are based on and understand typical pitfalls.
  • Understand where single number rating goals are best used and when to look beyond the single number.
  • Understand the general goals of architectural acoustics in sustainable design criteria systems such as LEED and WELL
