HVAC systems are a necessary part of every building, and the noise produced by outdoor mechanical equipment is often overlooked during design. Depending on the equipment and the site, noise controls may be needed to comply with noise regulations and avoid disturbing neighbors.  We work on projects for schools, hospitals, lab buildings, and data centers that have loud equipment, sensitive neighbors, or both.  Depending on the project scope, Cavanaugh Tocci can offer the following services:

·         Pre-construction site sound monitoring

·         Computer noise modelling

·         Local and state noise code evaluation

·         Reports for municipal review boards and government agencies

·         Attendance at municipal meetings to present study results.

Cavanaugh Tocci has also conducted peer-review services of studies by other consultants.
