I downloaded it from the Acoustical Society of America (http://asastore.aip.org) in 2007 but the 2002 version does not appear to be available anymore. They only have 2009 and 2010 versions.
Consider using this contact information from Armstrong's website who provided it along with Trane at no cost(http://www.armstrong.com/commceilingsna/article21193.html) to contact ASA: “These standards and many other national and international standards can be obtained in PDF format from the Acoustical Society of America Online Store at: http://asa.aip.org. Standards may also be ordered by fax or mail from: Acoustical Society of America, 35 Pinelawn Road, Suite 114E, Melville NY 11747-3177, Phone: 631-390-0215, Fax: 631-390-0217, Email: asastds@aip.org.” You might mention to them that folks are still using this and it would be great to still have available.

Your emailing that would be fantatic! Thanks for your help!
My question is why doesn't USGBC have it if they require us to use it. It is not right!

Carolina –
You must be new to the LEED game. There are extensive standards and references that USGBC does not provide and most of those require payment. It was great that Armstrong and Trane provided the ANSI resource as a free download via ASA.

Carolina –
I contacted ASA on your behalf and got a copy of the 2002 standard for you, which I have e-mailed to you.
As an FYI, here is the information I got from ASA when I asked that they post the 2002 document back to the ASA website:
“Pursuant to your request, since we cannot post the obsolete document you are requesting, the Standards Manager, Susan Blaeser, asked me to send you the attached complimentary copy of the Obsolete document ANSI S12.60-2002 (R2009) for your use. As noted in the attached PDF, the document is OBSOLETE and MAY NOT be referred to as an American National Standard. It is provided for historical purposes only.
As you saw on the website, the document has been replaced by two parts: ANSI/ASA S12.60-2010/Part 1 American National Standard Acoustical Performance Criteria, Design Requirements, and Guidelines for Schools, Part 1: Permanent Schools and ANSI/ASA S12.60-2009/Part 2 American National Standard Acoustical Performance Criteria, Design Requirements, and Guidelines for Schools, Part 2: Relocatable Classroom Factors.”
