Abstract
USGBC’s LEED 2009 rating system provides minimal guidance for achieving optimal acoustical performance in sustainable spaces; however, there are opportunities within the rating systems to combine acoustics with other performance attributes to create spaces with optimal indoor environmental properties. Many acoustical finishes are composed of materials that can help achieve LEED points in several categories and can be critical differentiators in determining total building performance and occupant comfort. Strategies to be discussed will include highly light reflectant surfaces, high recycled content, passive energy reduction, and others. By employing such strategies, the acoustical performance of the building may be enhanced while meeting the sustainability objectives.
