Transit centre project a reminder that roof screens are one part of a complete noise mitigation system
It’s easy to look at noise mitigation components in isolation. A silencer, an acoustic plenum or roof screens could all be regarded as a standalone solution to a sound emission problem. In some cases, they are. But mostly they’re critical parts of a wider noise control system. That’s especially true of roof screens, which are […]
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 […]
Botterell Hall—Achieving noise compliance with a Parklane silencer/barrier solution
Every life-changing scientific advancement needs a hub where it’s first conceived, tested, perfected and then debuted to the world. Botterell Hall at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., is one of those spaces. The nine-storey building is home to the school’s Centre for Neuroscience Studies and plays host to advanced heart, stroke and cancer research. It, […]
So, you have a noise issue—now what?
Unwanted or unexpected facility noise issues come in many different shapes, sizes and circumstances. Perhaps it’s a noisy chiller on the roof of your facility that’s keeping the neighbour awake. Maybe it’s a series of proposed mechanical equipment changes for a building improvement project that fall outside of local regulatory ordinances. Or, it could be […]
