How the science of acoustics is transforming our built environment to become inclusive, comfortable and a pleasure to use
Today, the IOA publishes its new Building Acoustics Supplement 2023, which is available freely on the IOA website and via social media links.
Building Acoustics explores the importance of acoustics in the built environment, and how acoustics should be considered right at the beginning of a project. It also discusses the vitally important effect of noise on buildings users’ health and wellbeing.
