Price Noise Control Team Delivers Custom Enclosure for Minneapolis School
Public schools play an important role in the communities they serve. More than just a place for students to learn, schools offer valuable extracurricular programs for young people and their families. They help foster a connection between the students and the world around them, and the best schools continually rise to the needs of their neighbors. That was the case in Minneapolis, MN, when Ella Baker Global Studies and Humanities Magnet School (formerly Jefferson Middle School) realized its HVAC system was causing too much noise.

Exploring the Benefits of Displacement Ventilation in Schools
For years, studies have linked healthy environments in schools with improved educational outcomes for students. We’ve seen that indoor air quality has a major impact on health, performance and attendance and that quiet classrooms improve academic performance, reduce stress and encourage better behavior.

A Look at These Standards and How They Impact Terminal Unit Acoustics
Sound-power and sound-pressure levels are used to catalog acoustical performance for terminal units. The sound performance of a terminal unit is crucial when considering the comfort of occupants within a space. For example, some places have an open-ceiling design and are well suited to quiet units to minimize distracting noises.

Controlling Unwanted Noise from the Source to the Receiver
An acoustic panel is one of many names that describe a modular component used to block or absorb noise where it’s unwanted. Also known as a double-walled panel, sandwich panel, insulated panel, thermal panel, double-walled ductwork or plenum wall, this engineered building element contains or reduces sound energy at different stages along the path that sound travels from the source to the receiver.
