The Science of Acoustics in Design
When designers focus too closely on a space’s physical layout, they may neglect the acoustics of the space — resulting in long-termimplications for the end user. This session will serve as an entry-level introduction to the science of acoustics and its effect on the office environment.
It will also address the common issues that arise from poor acoustical design, and offer solutions to designers to aid them in mitigating acoustical issues.

The Science Behind Lighting Design
When designers focus too heavily on rows of fluorescent lamp fixtures to light spaces, then they often end up with over-illuminated spaces without the necessary controls to achieve visual comfort while ignoring healthier, sustainable natural light.
This session will serve as an entry-level introduction to lighting and its role in the built environment. It will also address common issues that arise from poor lighting design, and offer both development and retrofit solutions to designers to aid them in managing light levels.
