| Strategies for Maximizing Acoustics in the Modern Office  Architects and designers were invited to join a new online CEU course from CertainTeed Ceilings on creating productive office spaces through sound acoustical design. "A growing body of research shows that noisy work environments decrease productivity and contribute to lower job satisfaction," said Robert Marshall, manager, marketing technical services for CertainTeed Ceilings. "Furthermore, prolonged exposure to noise may have significant ramifications on employee health, such as increased stress, fatigue, accidents and illness. It is at the point of design where opportunities exist to enhance these environments—and this course is intended to help building professionals capitalize on those opportunities.""Acoustic Ceilings for the Modern Office" is part of CertainTeed's Building Knowledge Academy of Continuing Education, the industry's most extensive and engaging collection of CEU course content. It is registered with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Continuing Education System, as well as the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) Construction Education Network. It has also been approved by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED professional credentialing program. write your comments about the article :: © 2015 Construction News :: home page |
