This course will focus on the key role acoustical ceiling and wall systems play in creating healthy interiors through acoustical, flexible, and sustainable design. In addition to providing a broad overview of the fundamental principles related to interior acoustic design, the course will identify the different acoustic needs and review case studies for three key design applications including educational spaces, office environments, and health-care facilities to emphasize the many ways balanced acoustical design can impact the lives of people where they live, work, heal, learn, and play. The course will conclude by assessing the various characteristics of acoustical ceiling panel materials and how they can contribute to sustainable building design and green building standards and certifications.
