Integrated heating, ventilation, and air conditioning noise control solutions

Abstract

There are a wide variety of acoustical considerations with respect to commercial building heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. This presentation will review and discuss integrated solutions and noise control products that can be utilized to solve noise problems during the design process. Air Moving and Air Distribution devices can affect the overall acoustics of a space and when selected properly, help to reduce the background sound with the space. There are also a wide variety of noise control products available to help mitigate and attenuate sound transmission and transfer from the noise source to the receiver within commercial buildings. This presentation will review some of the most commonly used noise control products and their overall design characteristics to provide understanding on how they operate.
