Looking Back on Year at Parklane
After more than a year of working with them, Parklane is saying a fond farewell to our two Co-op students, Celine Azar and Naveen Alam. Both are heading back to school to finish their engineering degrees in September but, before they go, they sat down to give an interview on their time at Parklane and […]
A Parklane case study: Mitigating VRF noise at a high-rise condo
As the densification of urban areas continues and North American cities grow skyward with the construction of ever-taller condominium towers, noise control is becoming an increasing concern. Sound emissions are especially problematic in settings where large towers abut low-rise residential units—which are often impacted by their soaring neighbours in various ways, including unwanted mechanical sound […]
A Parklane Case Study: Mitigating noise challenges at MUMC
As the largest health care facility in Hamilton, Ont., the McMaster University Medical Centre (MUMC) is a 365-bed hospital that services hundreds of thousands of residents in the far west end of the Greater Toronto Area. Its adult outpatient, women’s health and pediatric care units form a vital component of the local acute care and […]
A Parklane Case Study: Proactive noise control solutions for a place of worship
Whenever a commercial or community building is situated close to a residential area, unwanted mechanical noise can pose a major challenge. While rooftop HVAC units are essential to facility heating and cooling, their noise emissions often reach nuisance levels, putting the building out of compliance with local regulatory limits and exposing the property owner to […]
A Parklane case study: An agile approach to data center noise attenuation
Mitigating unwanted mechanical noise at a data center can seem like an impossible mission, one worthy of a blockbuster action film. It’s especially challenging in the context of a new data center that needs to be taken operational as quickly as possible. Indeed, data centers are mission-critical infrastructure that power a vast digital network—one that […]
A Parklane case study: Silencer solution caps noise from a condominium air chiller
One of the most significant negative impacts on life in urban environments isn’t merely from higher-profile concerns such as overcrowding, climate change and poor air quality—although those are all formidable problems. Unwanted noise is just as much a threat, and it’s poised to become an even greater challenge in the years ahead. As cities grow […]
