Space in Acoustics and Light

Undergraduate

This course focuses on the spatial impact and design of acoustics, lighting, and relevant regulatory building code standards in Canada (NBC and OBC). The significance of lighting and acoustical phenomena on human experience and impact of all three systems on building performance are discussed. The course also addresses issues of life safety regulations, universal design, and fire protection. These themes are considered through the lenses of environmental impact, re-use, and human experience. Exploration of the topics is through presentations, readings, case studies, hands-on laboratory work, and on-site examples. 266 Winter 2027 Undergraduate Calendar
