A Practical, Engineered Solution for Controlling Noise

Silencers, also referred to as sound attenuators or sound traps, are used as part of the HVAC system to reduce the noise that would otherwise be transmitted to the nearest indoor or outdoor space. In large commercial or industrial applications, silencers can be used in large banks to prevent noise from transferring into the environment.

In the HVAC design world, there is some uncertainty about the application of new and existing air distribution technologies since codes change so quickly and sometimes drastically. Customer mock-ups of the proposed HVAC design for a specific space are a great way to help resolve design uncertainty.

Silence is Golden: Optimizing the Acoustic Environment

Noise is the number one occupant complaint.

Research indicates that hospital patients and staff, hotel guests, and restaurant diners complain about noise more than anything else. Noise can impact occupants by lowering productivity and increasing stress levels. This “invisible” problem is loud and clear.

Properly addressing all noise sources allows building occupants to be more comfortable and productive.
