Acoustical Doors: Enhancing Sound Control in Architectural and Industrial Design

Acoustical doors are vital in managing sound transmission in various architectural and industrial settings. This course discusses evaluating, specifying, and integrating acoustical doors into projects that demand effective noise control, speech privacy, and occupant comfort. It also examines how acoustical doors may help meet credit requirements in the LEED® v5 Building Design and Construction rating system and the WELL Building Standard™ version 2. Compliance with fire safety codes and SCIF specifications is also discussed.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

• Explain how excessive noise can negatively impact the health and well-being of occupants and discuss noise mitigation efforts that increase occupant acoustic comfort, aligning with LEED v5 and WELL v2 goals.
• Identify key performance characteristics of acoustical doors, including reduced noise exposure zones, increased acoustical comfort, and enhanced acoustical privacy, and how they can contribute to LEED v5 and WELL v2 credit requirements.
• Evaluate the appropriate use cases for acoustical doors across commercial, institutional, and industrial projects to meet sound mitigation, occupant comfort, fire safety compliance, and SCIF specifications.
• Apply practical guidelines for integrating acoustical doors into architectural designs to meet LEED v5 and WELL v2 acoustic, safety, and sustainability goals.
