Glazing Strategies for Sound Control

1 AIA/CES LU HSW | 1 Hour Health/Safety/Welfare | 1 GBCI

Learning Objectives:
Learn why a sound control strategy matters in project design.
Learn basic sound properties, how they are measured, and principles for controlling noise.
Explore glazing solutions that provide sound control.
Learn why site-specific acoustical testing may be necessary.

Program Description:

As noise pollution continues to become a growing health concern, strategies to control sound in
both residential and non-residential building design have also increased in importance. This course
examines the significance of sound control strategies and how they can improve the health and
well-being of individuals by increasing comfort, workplace productivity, reducing stress, and
allowing for proper rest. The acoustic attenuation properties of fenestration products are important
factors to consider when designing new buildings or remodeling existing ones. Discussions on
site-specific testing, STC and OITC ratings, and real-world examples will leave attendees with a better
understanding of how a strong sound control strategy is important for the success of a project.

And for all you LEED professionals, this also has a GBCI credit.
