Kathy, I’ve never had a non-school project attempt this credit but have presented the idea to a few projects. We had planned on working with an acoustics consultant to determine a standard to use as our baseline (the ANSI standard in LEED for Schools is specific for schools) and then to design the space to be above and beyond traditional design. However, I don’t know whether you will need to be closer to the Schools prerequisite or credit requirements. I think it really depends on the space type and usage, and we be best to work with a consultant to determine what makes most sense for your space. Shannon

Thanks, Shannon! I was hoping that someone might also know how to access the Amstrong HQ Acoustic ID credit; theirs was an office building project (the one I'm working on now is as well). However, under the LEED project directory, that project is not presented as a case study so we cannot access their ID credit intent and manner in which they achieved credit for it. Kathy

Kathy, I got a document from Armstrong showing how they earned a point for acoustics under LEED-EB. I've posted it to the Documentation Toolkit (see the tab above).I'm curious how helpful this document is to others interested in this approach—let me know.
