THE SOUND OF WELL-BEING, ENGAGEMENT AND PRODUCTIVITY
Offered by Snowsound I 1.0 IDCEC Credits
Steve Jobs famously remarked, "Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works." This insight, emphasizing the balance between form and function, has not only driven Apple's success but is also a fundamental principle in interior design. Snowsound, in partnership with Interiors + Sources, has developed an engaging course focused on the critical role acoustics play in creating healthy and functional spaces.
Participants will gain a deep understanding of how noisy environments can negatively impact occupants and learn the ABCs of acoustic properties in relation to interior design. The course will explore the emotional and psychological effects of sound on people’s well-being, offering insights into how acoustics affect both engagement and productivity. Additionally, participants will learn to differentiate between NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient) and STC (Sound Transmission Class) ratings, and how these metrics apply to acoustic materials. This course provides valuable knowledge for designing acoustically sound environments that enhance both form and function.
