    Forum Description

    Thursday, February 1, 2018 Noon-1:30pm Free AIA Members / $3 Guests BYO Lunch (brown-bag lunch) 1.5 CES/HSW LUs The impact of sound and noise on human well-being is well documented, and yet acoustical design is often ignored by both design schools and design practitioners, unless the code requires it is addressed. Residential renovation and new construction projects both offer opportunities to address acoustics and greatly improve user experience. This presentation will offer guidance to both greater understanding of the acoustical issues and design solutions. About the Presenter: Nick Krause of Krause Acoustics is a Berkeley trained engineer and has provided acoustical design consulting to California building owners, developers, and architects for over 20 years, primarily for residential and mixed use projects.  His studies report on environmental noise assessment, room acoustics treatments, machinery noise reduction, and other sound-related issues. Learning Objectives:
    1. Learn about the impact of sound on building users, the field of acoustical design, and current codes impacting residential projects.
    2. Learn to identify potential sources of sound in a given residential project, and to identify the “treatment” areas (exterior, interior, room), along with gaining an understanding of the tangible impacts of addressing acoustics in design.
    1. Gain an understanding of the construction elements and assemblies that can be modified to address acoustical issues.
    2. Learn about the project management impacts of addressing acoustical issues, including integration with other work, working with an acoustical consultant, impact on project sequencing, and construction cost.
