The Presentation: The concept of sound and the idea of
Human Health are intimately related. This presentation explores the benefits of
the collaboration between the science of sound and architecture in healthcare
spaces. To look closer at the patient experience, we examine its connection to
architecture, specifically how spatial design and material play into the space.
We discuss the unique considerations required in areas of healthcare facilities
and outline the testing methods used in evaluating material performance against
design standards and guidelines set by key industry associations for privacy
and noise in healthcare environments. Specifically, this presentation will
delve into the influence of sound and noise on human health.
This course will
identify the common acoustical challenges in healthcare environments to improve
occupant health and welfare. It will also provide an understanding and review
of the basics of sound, room acoustics, and sound transmission. Finally, it will
provide an overview of acoustic design standards for healthcare spaces.
