Rooftop Unit Application – Hushcore® Plus-E™ System for Performing Arts High School in Sacramento, CA
Acoustic Performance with Pressure Drop Awareness
BRD Noise & Vibration Control was selected for acoustical modeling and implementation to meet the required NC targets of a new construction project using (3) rooftop units for a local performing arts school.
In order to achieve this target, BRD provided a recommended specification and manufactured (3) fully assembled perimeter Hush Curbs™ with composite insulation materials for the curb plenum, and Hush Duct™ silencer selections for the supply and return ducts, while keeping unit performance and pressure drop in mind.
Duct Design & Upfront Planning
Don’t Wait to Consult & Coordinate
BRD was brought on the project about 90% of the way through design. Because changes couldn’t be made to the duct layout, a workaround was needed to achieve the target noise levels. We provided flexibility to the solution in order to avoid a change order as well as additional cost to the project and others.The result was a multi-silencer approach for both the SA & RA. Constraints in available space required separate duct silencers with special sizes needed to fit and provide the attenuation needed, shown in the below Hushcore® submittal drawing below.
