ur year-long coverage of acoustics science and technology in commercial structures
continues with a podcast with our acoustics expert, Gary Madaras, PhD, ASA, INCE,

Assoc. AIA, and acoustics specialist at Rockfon, Chicago. In the podcast, we talk about an
acoustics ROI calculator that was developed by a team that included Madaras. You can hear the

podcast at commercialarchitecturemagazine.com/1903acousticpod.
For the podcast, we are joined by Shirley Wodynski, executive director of the Ceilings &
Interior Systems Construction Association (CISCA), Oak Brook, IL (cisca.org). The association
is an excellent resource for acoustics information and the ROI calculator resides on their website.
Visit commercialarchitecturemagazine.com/1901acoustics to read the first article in this
series. It focuses on how to evaluate acoustics needs and performance in various areas of healthcare facilities. The article is accompanied by our first podcast with Madaras in which we talk
about acoustics as they pertain to people with impaired hearing and those who use English as a
second language.
On p. 18, we offer the second article in our series. In "How To Absorb Open-Office
Sound," Madaras addresses causes of sound issues in open offices and how to control them.
He focuses on the importance of the ceiling rating, but notes that there are four other factors
to be considered if the overall design is to be effective. If you have questions or face acoustics
challenges, send them to me at gparr@commarchmag.com. -Gary L. Parr, editorial director
