SOUND SENSE: Achieving Successful Acoustic Environments

1 hour | 1 CPD point

Presented by Melbourne designer Samantha McKenzie (Acustico Lighting), this visually engaging, documentary-style session explores how acoustic design shapes real-world commercial spaces — from workplaces to hospitality and education.

This one-hour session qualifies for 1 formal CPD point for architects.

What you’ll learn:

• How reverberation time (RT60) affects speech, comfort and performance

• AS/NZS 2107-aligned acoustic targets, with Green Star & WELL insights

• Why ceiling-based solutions are critical to acoustic outcomes

• How to balance absorption + liveliness in real projects

• Measured case studies, including in-situ RT60 improvements

Architects… join us at Superhot Shop (presented by Danielle Brustman Studio) in Collingwood for a relaxed, wine-in-hand CPD screening and tick off an accredited CPD before 30 June while you’re at it.
