by Shane Henson — June 27, 2014—Cambridge Sound Management, a company that develops solutions to the problems of privacy and acoustic distractions, recently released its Speech Privacy and Sound Masking in Modern Architecture course on AEC Daily’s online learning center.
Cambridge Sound Management’s distance learning program will enable architects, engineers, interior designers, general contractors, and related professionals to not only learn about sound masking and acoustics, but also earn credits while doing so, from any location they choose.
As the company notes, recent research has found that many current work environments are fulfilling the needs for collaboration and communication, but are doing a poor job of providing an acoustical environment free from distractions and conducive for productivity and speech privacy. This presentation will cover research on current satisfaction levels in workplace environments, current design trends and associated acoustic issues, fundamental acoustic principles, and sound masking technology and what it can and cannot do.
AEC Daily is the largest provider of free online continuing education to construction professionals. Courses are available online 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and credits are automatically submitted to the American Institute of Architects, which has accredited the course, as well as the U.S. Green Building Council and other organizations.
