Gain a fundamental knowledge of room Acoustics, how to choose and define relevant acoustic criteria for a space and the options available for acoustic ceiling and wall panel solutions.
This CPD explores the never more relevant question of acoustic design for an aging population. This interactive seminar discusses the effects of aging and dementia on hearing, vision and mobility; explaining key design and acoustic principles when designing for dementia care.
When delivering projects outside of the UK and Ireland, acoustic design can be complicated by the different standards and demands in place within the local market. The CPD explores the fundamental acoustic parameters in use internationally, and compares the details of the main acoustic standards. We will explore how different cultural and legislative acoustic demands can affect your design, ensuring that the acoustic challenges can be met cost effectively and without compromising the design vision.
This CPD discusses the important subject of the science behind psychophysics and psychoacoustics and how it can be used to solve acoustic problems in office environments. We will look at some of today’s office drivers, both during and post Covid as well as practical applications.
Develop an understanding of how to achieve good acoustics in schools, cover the relevant research including the Essex study, and explore the current standards. Also includes an introduction to designing for hearing impaired children.
This CPD explores the different acoustic needs of students during Further and Higher Education, including the acoustic requirements within the different learning spaces that are needed.
