Presentation Overview:
Building owners and occupants judge mechanical systems by acoustic performance as well as thermal comfort.
How is the design of your system affecting final acousticOur May chapter meeting will explore the basics of noise and vibration in mechanical system design and highlight basic engineering principles behind proper mechanical design with respect to noise.
perceptions of a project?
Alan Burt and Erik Miller-Klein will explain the physics of noise and vibration, basics of ASHRAE guidelines, compare AHRI to ASHRAE research, and provide aural examples of some common issues in HVAC systems.
The presentation will review national, state and municipal noise codes, standards and design criteria.
Presenters:
Alan Burt, PE is an Associate Partner and Acoustical Consultant at SSA Acoustics.
