Course preview
Our continuing education courses keep you focused on what matters most in architecture and design. Achieve more with continuing education that blends trusted expertise with real world application.
Architects make excellent acousticians because they have practice thinking in three dimensions. This course demystifies basic acoustics and enables acoustically-considered spaces through 11 acoustics-driven design decisions you can make now to avoid complaints and give meaning to your projects. This course emphasizes the significant impact of noisy mechanical systems and poor program adjacencies in various environments, from schools to workplaces, and provides practical solutions to reduce noise from common sources. The instructor also shares research findings on the correlation between mechanical system noise and test scores in schools, highlighting the importance of acoustic considerations in architectural design.
