CertainTeed Ceilings Course for Maximizing Acoustics in the Workplace
Studies have shown that acoustics play an important role in employee satisfaction and performance in the workplace. Without an effective strategy for minimizing noise and providing adequate privacy, businesses are at-risk for lost productivity and employee turnover. A new online training course on office acoustics, now available from CertainTeed Ceilings, provides architects and designers the latest science on how sound affects the way people work and offers strategies for creating optimal interior environments.
The free course, “Acoustic Ceilings for the Modern Office,” explains Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC), Sound Transmission Class (STC), and Articulation Class (AC), which are key measurements for designing acoustically efficient spaces in private and open offices. It also explores the role of acoustics in LEED certification and discusses academic research on office environments.
