February Lunch Meeting

Topic Description:

The current approach to designing air handling systems and acoustics will be discussed. Typically, one must design the entire air distribution system in order to determine if that design meets the acoustic goal. Many times the answer comes back – “No!” By then, the building design is too far advanced to accommodate the lowest energy acoustic solutions. Often, the performance of the air handling equipment, and thus the owner, are then penalized for the life of the equipment.
