HVAC Noise and Vibration Control Best Practices
Acoustics are not always considered on every project but are present and should receive a cursory review to determine if they need to be addressed. In this discussion we’ll look to address a few of the common noise makers on projects beginning with a short focus on basic acoustic terminology (e.g. Sound Pressure versus Sound Power, dBA, relative loudness, etc…). We will then proceed into practical and feasible solutions for treating air and water-cooled chillers and rooftop units with general rules of thumb reductions and other design input considerations. We will end with a review of common acoustic specification strategies and why they don’t always provide the desired results, in addition to, suggested best practice specification strategies.
