Strategies for Designing with Integrated Lighting and Acoustic Solutions
presented by SESCO Lighting
Today’s buildings are expected to support occupant well-being by delivering environments that are both visually comfortable and acoustically effective. As open floor plans, flexible workspaces, and multi-purpose environments become more common, architects must thoughtfully integrate lighting and acoustic strategies to create spaces that enhance productivity, communication, and occupant experience.
This session explores the science behind sound management and the growing emphasis on acoustic performance in architectural design. Participants will gain an understanding of sound absorption principles, acoustic performance standards, and the unique requirements of different building types. The program also examines how integrated lighting and acoustic systems can work together to optimize both visual and acoustic comfort while supporting design intent, sustainability, and occupant wellness. Through practical examples and best practices, attendees will learn strategies for creating high-performing spaces where sound and light are seamlessly integrated.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the factors driving increased emphasis on sound abatement in contemporary architectural spaces.
- Understand the fundamental principles of sound management and the science of sound absorption.
- Identify acoustic performance requirements for various building applications and the standards that guide their design.
- Explore integrated lighting and acoustic solutions that enhance occupant comfort, functionality, and overall building performance.
