It’s almost here.

One of the most sought-after standards in school acoustics is being revised.

ASA/ANSI S12.60 Part 1 is coming with updated guidance and requirements for the acoustical design of permanent school learning spaces—including a new design-stage compliance option and expanded guidance on classroom acoustical performance.

The standard has changed. Make sure your reference has, too.

Coming soon from ASA Standards.

A standard many have been waiting for is getting an update.

ASA/BSR S12.60-20XX/Part 1 — Acoustical Performance Criteria, Design Requirements, and Guidelines for Schools: Part 1, Permanent Schools — has been revised.

The new edition introduces updated approaches to classroom acoustics, including a new design-stage compliance option using average room sound absorption coefficient, expanded guidance on C50, G, and STI, and updated provisions for learning spaces and background noise.

Coming soon. Make sure you have the latest edition.
