Today’s bonus episode continues the conversation Jennifer had with Bill Browning of Terrapin Bright Green.  In this clip, Bill explains the difference between acoustics and psychoacoustics, and how we can use effective masking sounds to really help people focus on the most important auditory information they want to hear. Bill Browning is one of the green building and real estate industry’s foremost thinkers and strategists, and an advocate for sustainable design solutions at all levels of business, government, and civil society. In 2006, Bill founded Terrapin Bright Green to craft high-performance environmental strategies for corporations, governments, and large-scale real estate developments. Previously, in 1991, he founded Green Development Services at the Rocky Mountain Institute, an entrepreneurial, non-profit “think and do tank.” Past roles include Director of Design and Environment for Haymount, VA, co-founder of Browning+Bannon LLC, founding member of the USGBC Board of Directors, and Chair of USGBC’s Governance Committee. He is a co-author of several books and publications including most recently Nature Inside: A Biophilic Design Guide.   Continue the conversation in our LinkedIn group Shaping Dementia Environments: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/9044567/ Learn more about Perkins Eastman insights: https://www.perkinseastman.com/white-papers
