Integration of Acoustic Control in Lighting Fixtures 

June 22 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm | 1 LU/HSW

Contemporary interior design has led to an increase in open spaces, unfinished ceilings, glass walls and hard flooring. With an increase in design of spaces having unfinished ceilings, hard ceilings, and glass walls, spaces can become loud and noisy for occupants and that distraction decreases productivity, employee morale, and customer satisfaction.  By addressing the acoustics in a space, the design intent can be achieved while also providing a more appealing environment for those in the space. This presentation will provide information about how the integration of acoustic control in lighting fixtures can be part of the solution.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will assess the effects of noise in the workplace

Participants will discover the basics of acoustics

Participants will determine the quality of sound environment

Participants will determine effective integration of acoustic control in lighting fixture design
