At Mechartes, we offer specialized Acoustic Modelling services to ensure optimal noise control for various environments, including cooling towers, chillers, district cooling plants, Data centers, hotels, and residential areas. Effective acoustic design is crucial for maintaining comfort and compliance with noise regulations, particularly in urban and densely populated areas.
Cooling Towers and Chillers: Cooling towers and chillers are essential components in HVAC systems, but they can generate significant noise. Our acoustic modeling assesses noise propagation from these systems, providing solutions to minimize their impact on surrounding areas. We analyze the noise levels and recommend effective noise control measures, such as acoustic louvers and sound attenuators, ensuring compliance with standards like the ASHRAE Handbook Chapter 48, AHRI Standard 885, ANSI/ASA S12.64-2017/Part 1, ISO 11690-1, ISO 6395 and British Standard BS8233.
Data Center application: Acoustic comfort is vital for data centers, where noise can significantly impact occupants’ quality of life. Our acoustic modeling services for these environments focus on HVAC background noise, sound transmission, and reverberation time. We ensure compliance with LEED Acoustic Standards, ASHRAE, ISO 3744, ANSI/ASA S12.60, and ISO 11690-1 and provide recommendations for insulation and noise reduction to create a peaceful and comfortable living environment. Acoustic analysis is carried out to ensure noise levels from HVAC equipment at critical occupancy areas inside the building meet the NC criteria given in ASHRAE standards and project specifications. We also perform acoustic analysis for all sound-generating MEP services, including generators and pumps.
Our approach involves detailed analysis and modeling using advanced simulation software. We identify potential noise issues, evaluate various scenarios, and provide practical solutions to mitigate noise effectively. Our iterative process ensures that the final design meets all acoustic requirements, providing a quiet and comfortable environment for all occupants.
