Is Your AV Project Technically Feasible? A Checklist for Architects and Designers

Introduction: Great ideas fail when they aren’t executable. AV feasibility planning turns bold visions into technically sound executions—before you break ground. The Problem: Lack of feasibility checks leads to systems that don’t work well: poor acoustics, blocked sightlines, underpowered hardware, and chaotic wiring. The Solution: A feasibility audit includes AV layouts, acoustic mapping, heat/load checks, ventilation assessments, and cable planning. It ensures the technology can perform flawlessly in the space it inhabits. Use Case: A cultural center nearly scrapped its immersive gallery due to heat generation from projectors. A pre-install feasibility study led to modified airflow and revised layout—salvaging a $1.2M investment. How It Helps Organizations: Avoids costly redesigns or AV underperformance Reduces risk of technology failures post-launch Aligns AV with building codes and sustainability standards
