Flexible Spaces, Controlled Sound: Operable Wall Acoustics

Flexible Spaces, Controlled Sound: Operable Wall Acoustics

Effective acoustical control is essential in any environment. Selecting the right operable partition to address sound management and spatial flexibility can resolve multiple challenges at once. In this one-hour course, we examine acoustics, operable walls, and how their integration with complementary architectural elements delivers superior sound control across a variety of spaces.

Learning Objectives: 
  1. Discuss the science of sound and acoustics.
  2. Comprehend applicable lab and field tests to measure performance of sound transmission and absorption.
  3. Analyze additional architectural approaches that will compliment an operable wall and enhance the full acoustical design of your build.
  4. Select an operable wall system best suited for your project based on your objectives and space solutions desired.
