Qualifies for 1 AIA HSW credit. We will discuss innovative ways to deal with noise issues in various types of projects of all types - multi-family, education, healthcare, hospitality, worship, and more.

- We'll go over soundproofing and will explain how design techniques and innovative products help efficiently achieve target STC and IIC ratings in wall/floor assemblies.

- We'll discuss room acoustics (echo and reverberation) and the use of absorption panels, baffles, and fabric wall systems.

- Other topics include on-site field testing, consulting services, sounds studies and our "acoustic audit".

- I'll show the team clever VE opportunities that lead to savings on materials, wall thickness, and schedule.

Overall, I believe everyone will leave the presentation well-informed on all acoustic topics and design practices!s still open
