Building acoustics
We diagnose, model, and improve sound insulation, reverberation, and speech intelligibility in buildings, for new construction or renovation.
Description
Mecanum provides architectural acoustics services to improve sound insulation, control reverberation, and ensure speech intelligibility, for new construction and renovation alike. Our certified methods quantify how sound behaves within and between spaces, and we translate the results into tailored recommendations for partitions, façades, ceilings, and floors, based on your building’s specific constraints. Working alongside architects and engineers from concept to execution, this integrated approach prevents costly retrofits and keeps projects compliant with codes and comfort standards.
What we cover
Sound transmission control
Airborne and impact noise between spaces: ASTC (ASTM E336, E413), OITC for façades (ASTM E966, E1332), AIIC for impact (ASTM E1007, E336).
Interior acoustic optimization
Reverberation and speech: RT60 (ASTM E2235), Speech Intelligibility Index (ANSI/ASA S3.5), and noise criteria NC/RC/RNC (ANSI/ASA S12.2).
Integrated design support
Predictive modeling, material selection by mass, stiffness, and damping, and system-wide optimization for compliance and comfort.
