AIAU: Acoustics in Open-to-Structure Environments
May 19, 2020 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
*1 LU*
LIVE WEBINAR COURSE
As more and more commercial interiors, from offices to schools, veer toward open concepts and exposed structures, the spaces become susceptible to noise. And for occupants, excessive noise can lead to increased stress, lower productivity, decreased focus, and poor communication. This session will help architects understand the challenge by exploring how sound is generated, transmitted, and reverberates. Attendees will learn a simpler approach to sabins, how to calculate absorption, and how to apply that knowledge to designing ceiling systems that hit the sweet spot for noise reduction.
Learning Objectives:
- Address acoustical design challenges in open-to-structure spaces.
- Review fundamentals of sound and define key acoustical terms.
- Explain and compare various measures of sound absorption.
- Define reverberation time as a key room acoustic design parameter.
- Examine acoustical treatments best suited for open to structure spaces and review sample reverberation time calculations.

Shout out to Ricci Builders for an amazing project tour of one of their homes currently under construction. This project utilizes dozens of unique and sustainable building techniques that are second nature to Josh Ricci & his team and will be featured later this fall in the Winston-Salem Parade of Homes. ![]()

AIAWS had the first event for our 2024 #ACTIVATE Community project! We're partnering with Crossnore Communities for Children for a Design-Build Project. Together with their staff & the kids, we're designing and building an incentive cart to be used on campus, bringing art supplies, ice cream, hot chocolate, and more to all the kids on campus. ![]()
This event was the design portion, and seeing the kids bring their ideas to life on paper was so exciting! Their imaginations were endless and their creativity was unmatched! We can't wait to come back on campus and build & decorate this cart with them!![]()
Thank you so much to all of our volunteers and our sponsors for helping us make this event possible!![]()
