Architecture & Schools Changes In Design There is increasing pressure from the government to increase sustainability, therefore architects have been finding ways to help decrease the carbon footprint of their buildings. This can be accomplished in schools by the removal of suspended ceilings. This helps to reduce the cost of heating and cooling the building through the use of thermal mass. However it creates a problem for acoustic absorption, a job traditionally done by ceiling tiles, with these removed, sound is free to reverberate for longer.
