The plant room, generator room or other big rotating equipment generates a loud amount of noise, which maybe be very high during the day and night-time, and depending on the location of the site, the acceptable Noise (dB levels) may not be achieved. The acoustic analysis study helps in the noise mapping levels for the complete building and to select suitable sound attenuators which could be capable of reducing sound levels within the acceptable Noise level (dB) range.
Guidelines like AHRI Standard 885, ASHRAE Standards, and NC criteria or local civic building regulations have been followed by us for the acoustic simulation study. We have provided solutions for airborne noise, structure-borne noise, break-in and break-out noise generated due to fresh air fans, smoke extract fans, and noise generated by chillers, pumps, AHUs, and many other equipment.
Mechartes has the capability to investigate noise maps and sound decibel levels originating from HVAC/rotating equipment/plant rooms during operations, in and around the nearby buildings, and possible future construction sites.
The sound absorbing characteristics of construction material and directionality of sound propagation is required to be simulated on software to determine the sound pressure levels breaking out of DCP building. In order to simulate the acoustic sound levels near the concerned building, 3D modelling of the complete district cooling plant building is done in FEMAP.
