Abstract
As public awareness of noise control grows and the public tolerance for noise diminishes, interest in building noise control is increasing. Since noise control is better applied as an integral part of the building design, rather than as an afterthought, building designers need to be educated in the basics of noise control. To this end a new class entitled Noise Control in Buildings has been developed for architectural engineering majors at the University of Colorado (CU). The class is a senior-level/graduate-level design class that introduces the basics of acoustics and noise control as applied to building design. In the class students learn from lecture, homework, guest lecturers from industry, field trips, experimental sessions, and projects. A discussion of the class content and teaching method is provided.
