Inhaltsangabe

This book grew out of Charles Salter's experience teaching at UC Berkeley's College of Environmental Design as well as from his acoustical consulting firm's projects over the last 20 years. Coverage includes methods of sound isolation in buildings; cost-benefit analysis of diverse acoustical materials and designs; technologies for noise abatement; environmental acoustics, including noise ordinances and land planning issues; and legal issues. Case studies illustrate the acoustic design issues of a wide range of spaces Salter's firm worked on--from Camp Snoopy, an Airtouch boardroom, and condominium complexes in Chicago and San Francisco, to the Newport Beach Public Library, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Off Planet (formerly Sega Music Group Studio), and Mudd's restaurant in San Ramon, CA.
