Service
Acoustical Engineering
Design guidance, commissioning, and measured verification for speech privacy, intelligibility, and building noise control.
Service Scope
We solve acoustic problems in a wide variety of facilities including condominiums, office buildings, commercial buildings, churches, schools, universities, swimming pools, arenas, hospitals, audiometric installations, courthouses, correctional institutions, and police detachments.
Project Context
Typical work spans design support, field verification, and troubleshooting in occupied environments where acoustic performance affects operations and user experience.
Common Failure Patterns
- Excessive sound transmission and poor speech privacy
- Reverberation and intelligibility issues in occupied spaces
- HVAC noise, vibration transfer, and background noise concerns
- Impact, transportation, and construction-related noise problems
Investigation Toolbox
- Field measurements for privacy, intelligibility, and reverberation
- Noise and vibration diagnostics for mechanical systems
- Commissioning review and targeted post-occupancy testing
- Mitigation strategy development for implementation teams
Methods and Standards
Our process combines design review, commissioning methodology, and measured verification against accepted performance metrics and project-specific requirements.
Outcomes and Deliverables
We provide criteria summaries, test plans and results, mitigation recommendations, and implementation notes that support compliance and long-term acoustic performance.
