Acoustic design is important in any interior environment, but even more so in behavioral health settings. Research and clinical experience suggest that high noise levels can contribute to noncompliant patient behaviors, impede treatment and recovery, and increase staff stress.
This webinar will review two behavioral health units, one constructed with standard acoustical ceiling tile panels and one with a new acoustic gypsum wallboard ceiling assembly with noise reducing properties. This session will compare each facilities’ testing results along with security concerns, owner requirements, and possible design solutions for acoustical treatments in healthcare design.

Thanks to our sponsor partners:
Many attendees of The Center for Health Design’s webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high at this time. You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting a verification certificate. As of July 9, 2020, The Center for Health Design requires a CEU management fee for verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org.
