Building Acoustics
Providing a full-design service related to the building architectural and mechanical acoustics.
In any acoustical environment, the impact of outside noise and vibration sources (traffic, subways, trains, aircraft) and in-house noise and vibration sources (room-to-room transmission, HVAC systems) have to be carefully studied and then minimized for comfort, productivity and privacy reasons.
We provide acoustical measurement, analysis and design services to determine the required acoustical performances of existing and to-be-built walls, ceilings and slabs constructions. Construction descriptions for wall and slab assemblies, specifications, details for special acoustical isolation joints, room-within-room construction, and on-site inspections are provided to ensure effective sound isolation. The list of the related services we offer is presented below:
- Façade design to control external noise intrusion
- Sound insulation and measurement
- Industrial and commercial noise control
- Speech privacy and intelligibility
- Material and constructions – specifications and assessment
- Selection of room finishes
- Advice on the implementation of noise reduction measures
- Preparation of noise control strategies and specifications
- Sound insulation testing and advice on remedial treatment
- Assessment of internal acoustic performance of buildings
