About the short course on Architectural Acoustics:

Many states require that architects obtain continuing education unit (CEU) credits
annually, in order to maintain their registration or licensure. The American
Institute of Architects (AIA) Continuing Education System (CES) offers
continuing education courses. The Technical Committee on Architectural
Acoustics (TCAA) is an AIA/CES Registered Provider of this standardized
introductory short course for architects, called “Architectural Acoustics”.

An architect can earn one CEU by attending this short course, which lasts one
hour. All architects and designers are welcomed, even if the CEU credit is not of
particular concern.

Architects who desire that their projects provide quality acoustical environments
should have a working familiarity with three main topics of architectural acoustics:

1) Sound Isolation (airborne & structureborne)

2) HVAC Noise Control
3) Finish Treatments (primarily sound absorption in this course)

The author of the program content is K. Anthony (Tony) Hoover, FASA. Tony is

Chair of the Technical Committee on Architectural Acoustics (TCAA), and is a
Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America (FASA).

An accomplished educator, Tony taught over forty full-semester courses in

Architectural Acoustics at The Berklee College of Music in Boston, many
semesters at The Boston Architectural Center, and numerous courses and
presentations at other colleges and professional societies.
