Achieving good acoustics has become increasingly difficult for a variety of reasons. Some of those reasons are budgets with low construction budgets, weight of various materials, and an increase in open areas and a higher density of employees in the office. Interior designers can have a profound effect on the acoustical quality of an interior environment. In this course we will look at Sound absorption and Sound Transmission Between Spaces, examine all types of environments from offices, schools, and performance centers. We will examine how sound in one space can be reduced within that space as well as what determines how much sound that travels to an adjoining space will be heard.
