Symposium Description

HVAC equipment can cause severe acoustical sound issues leading to speech interference, sleep deprivation, general annoyance, worker productivity issues, potential change requests, and finally, but certainly in the realm of possibility....legal action.  Complaints from noisy HVAC equipment can be avoided if remedial measures are implemented during Planning and Design-Development Phase. We will explore acoustical guidelines, ASHRAE/AHRI/AMCA Standards and Codes, and simple, yet cost-effective engineering means and methods that will lead your project towards the pathway of acoustical success.
