Acoustics & Lighting

Acoustics

The acoustical environment in a building has an impact on the occupants. On the higher range, noise can exceed occupational exposure limits and pose a risk for noise induced hearing loss. These exposures are found most frequently in manufacturing settings.  Although the acoustical environment in offices rarely exceeds thresholds for hearing loss, certain noise can impact the health, wellbeing, and productivity of occupants.  Annoying noises can divert employees’ attention, hinder open communication, and lead to reduced productivity. Noise may be generated within the building or come from ambient sounds outside the building.

Indoor Science can help you assess the acoustical environment of your building by using sound level meters to log noise over time.  At the same time we log observations to establish the impact of individual activities. Indoor Science can incorporate noise dosimeters to evaluate individual exposures to noise. We also can perform an octave band analysis to determine the frequencies present and the best control strategies.
