Description

Fifty percent of energy usage within a building is from the ventilation system. But as a designer or architect, how do you naturally ventilate offices, classrooms and other room types? How can you treat the sound coming into a building to reduce noise levels? What window types work better than others?

Current understanding of the performance of open windows is low, mainly because the acoustics of these buildings is difficult to get to grips with. Here, Ze answers the key questions and helps you to better understand how to treat windows at the design stage - ultimately leading to improved energy usage and more efficient buildings.

The visualisation of sound; the acoustic performance of open windows; clever mathematics; incredible software; and our retro toy, the Slinky, all play a part in this forward thinking webinar.
