This course provides a comprehensive overview of spray-applied acoustical finishes, examines the relationship of acoustics and health, safety and welfare and the need for acoustical consideration prior to building occupancy. Spray-applied acoustical finishes control echo, reverberation and excessive sound, making speech and music more intelligible, and increasing usability. Ideal for New Construction, Renovation, and Historic Preservation projects, spray-applied finishes are utilized for a wide range of commercial project types.

Learning Objectives: 
  1. Describe basic acoustical terms and sound principals in relation to building materials, and project types. Recognize the need for acoustical consideration prior to building occupancy.
  2. Describe the benefits spray-applied acoustical finishes provide including: enhanced Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), possible LEED contribution points, and overall functionality.
  3. Identify the three main types of spray-applied acoustical finishes: Cellulose based, Gypsum/Plaster based, and Cementitious based and recognize the textures, benefits and uses for each.
  4. Examine the relationship between Acoustics and Health and Safety, and the health risks associated to excessive noise. Recognize facilities and areas requiring acoustical treatment.
