Tuesday - October 25, 2016

 "Architectural Acoustics and Noise Control in Building Design"

Presenter:
Cameron Carris - Ketchum and Walton, Co.

11:45a: Registration & Lunch (provided)
12:00p: Program begins   * * 1 AlA LU/HSW  * *
 

This program will review basic noise control and room acoustics concepts as they relate to building design. Building code and ANSI standards for acoustics and noise control will be covered along with design methods for meeting and exceeding acoustic goals in a variety of spaces. Application and performance of typical acoustical materials and building assemblies will be reviewed.

Learning Objectives:
• Better understand the acoustical ratings for STC (Sound Transmission Class), IIC (Impact Insulation Class), and T60 (Reverberation Time) and how changes in design effect these ratings and the building occupants.
• Utilize cost effective building assemblies and interior finishes to achieve acoustic goals and minimize owner complaints.
• Describe Reverberation Time goals for various room types and the impact on acoustic quality and communication clarity within the space.
• Design to meet International Building Code requirements for STC and IIC rated assemblies in multi-family buildings.
• Establish design goals for Schools based on the ANSI standard for classroom acoustics

REGISTRATION absolutely closes Thursday October 20th  @ 5pm
or when we reach 30 attendees, whichever comes first!

 * AIAT reserves the right to cancel this program if we have less than 10 registered attendees.
