Acoustic Commissioning

Acoustic commissioning involves the peer review of existing, renovation or new construction projects for owners to help ensure that the facility achieves the Owners Project Requirements (OPR), LEED credits, WELL Sound Features or other project objectives. Our staff has experience peer reviewing documents prepared by other acoustic consultants to confirm the design is consistent with the stated acoustic performance objectives, providing collaborative feedback for resolving any deficiencies in the design. During construction, our team provides thorough inspections of the acoustical elements of projects to observe that the execution of the design is consistent with the project goals. We work with the designers and contractors to provide project-specific acoustic and vibration solutions for problems that may arise in the field and collaborate with the project team from design through to occupancy.

Acoustic commissioning helps to answer questions such as:

• Are the design conditions sufficient for meeting the project goals?
• Is the construction following the design intent for meeting the acoustic objectives?
• Are there alternative designs that can achieve the acoustic performance in a more practical, feasible or cost-effective manner?
