Acoustical Analysis
Figure 33
The primary acoustical design goal for an HVAC system is to achieve a background noise level that is quiet enough so that it does not interfere with the activity requirements of the space and is not obtrusive in sound quality.
What is considered “acceptable” varies dramatically with the intended use of the space. Obviously, a factory has less stringent acoustical requirements than a church, while an office has a different set of requirements altogether. Therefore, the acoustical design goal depends on the required use of the space.
