Hospitals Assessment
A typical assessment for a client responsible for constructing or upgrading a healthcare facility may include these steps.
Long-term and short-term Measurement of existing noise levels. (Knowing this allows us to offer design advice on adequate glazing to stop noise break-in to buildings).
Predictive computer modelling of the sound insulation offered by the architects proposed separating walls and floors. This tells us if the partitions are up to the standard required.
Assessment of the reverberation time and speech intelligibility in proposed rooms to test compliance with HTM08-01 criteria.
Recommendations to improve standards to those prescribed or better.
A free helpline whilst work is underway and, where necessary, a site inspection.
Documentation of all of the above to a standard which is acceptable to your local authority and/or your BREEAM Assessor
