Sports & Recreation Facilities


Facilities catering to sports and recreational activities have varying acoustical requirements.  Some require high levels of reverberation control while having products that can withstand physical abuse, some have specific moisture and mold growth requirements, and some are used for various activities which necessitate adjustable levels of sound absorption.

 

ACI works with the client to determine the specific needs and provides acoustical treatment recommendations accordingly.  In addition, when a more detailed level of assessment is required, ACI uses the EASE room noise modeling software package which enables detailed projections of room acoustics as well as assists in placement and type of acoustical materials.  ACI often also deals with mechanical/HVAC noise issues to ensure a comfortable environment. 

 

ACI has the equipment and expertise to conduct reverberation time testing as well as sound transmission class (STC) testing for noise isolation between various adjacent spaces.
