Acoustics & Health
Sponsored by Kirei USA
Learning Objectives:
- Explore the technical aspects of sound including sound types, sound quality, measuring sound, and how sound relates to health, safety, and welfare.
- Define the properties of sound and acoustic performance such as transmission, reflection, diffusion and absorption and how to utilize those properties to design the perfect sound for the wellbeing of occupants.
- Discuss how sound interacts within buildings and how this affects occupant health including how to mitigate sound issues that arise from open concept and biophilic design.
- Identify specific applications for better sound quality and control in varying types of spaces to assure that the applications perform the intended purpose.

This course introduces the effects of sound on health, basics of sound properties, why sound matters in architecture and design and provides practical applications to mitigate noise and improve occupant experience. We break down basic acoustic topics and relate them to real-world examples and solutions, thus providing a foundation to create safe spaces and sounds. Acoustics and health are an integral part of every space and this course ensures a basic understanding of how acoustics work and why they are important for our health.
