Chiller plant full-scale acoustic simulation in a quiet neighborhood

ABSTRACT In the field of architectural acoustics, one collaborates with a community in order to maintain a defined soundscape in a growing city. This visual essay presents dialogues between designers and stakeholders with the acoustical consultant during the design of a new chiller plant at a college in a medium-sized city. In order to understand the noise impact of the proposed chiller plant equipment on the quality of life, which resulted in sound levels greater than measured ambient sound levels of the community, a full-scale simulation was constructed to help the community make decisions on which noise mitigation strategy should be used to maintain the existing sounds of the site.
