Awards Windmill Village Apartments Award, Town of East Hampton October 23, 2003. Testimonials Bob Gulomb, a Manager of Facilities Engineering with Bayer, needed help with an acoustical problem regarding the deafening HVAC noise in a conference room and the office space beneath it. The culprit was a noisy HVAC system that was so loud that nobody could understand anyone who spoke in the conference room. "When the equipment noise is transferred into the ductwork, it becomes an acoustical channel. It's a closed reflective environment." So SoundSense turned off the switch operating the HVAC system, the noise stopped, and everyone in the room applauded. SoundSense had verified the cause but now had to incorporate a solution to what were essentially two problems. First, the noise in the conference room had to be deadened; second, the noise in the office below, caused by the duct system in the ceiling, was so loud no one would work in it. The solution came in two parts. First the HVAC duct was wrapped in special material to deaden the noise. Then the ceiling tiles were replaced with special tiles that had a higher-grade absorptive quality on the side facing the office and a high STC (noise stopping material) rated material on the side facing the duct. The result? The noise in that office is now lower than the noise in the open office area outside it. "It's been very successful," says Bob Gulomb. "I'm so happy with their work I want them to help in the planning of a new building so we can avoid potential problems." Memberships CEDIA ASA IEEE
