Audiovisual Environments and Equipment Standards for Education

Alan J. Powell

Using the proposed Engineering Committee Recommendations ECR 3, Standards for Conference Facilities, as a starting point, the paper traces the design relationships between the architectural and projection parameters of learning spaces for front projection within the topic of audiovisual environments. The two sets of parameters are combined to illustrate professional techniques used in reaching optimum image dimensions for the learning spaces. The effects on projection equipment performance are shown. The design process is reviewed as involving the necessary application of three distinct standards. Further research into the subject is proposed, to develop a media facilities specification standard for the construction industry.
