Mastering Architectural Acoustics in Flexible Spaces

In this seminar, design professionals, general contractors, owners or facility managers will gain a thorough

understanding of architectural acoustics (sometimes called “invisible architecture”).

Learning Objectives:

1. To learn about acoustics in the built environment (invisible architecture) and the effects on well-being, health,

and safety including an overview on the Well Building Institute’s acoustical comfort recommendations.

2. To understand what sound is, how it behaves in an interior environment and how building materials are

classified for their sound control capabilities.

3. To explore acoustical challenges in flexible space and learn how best to control sound including those acoustical

challenges with operable partitions.

4. To find solutions through automation and intelligent acoustical design to achieve healthier, more comfortable

and productive interior flexible spaces.
