Would you like to better understand the principles of Sound applied to HVAC equipment and design?  There are many misconceptions, myths, and misapplied data floating out there in the HVAC field and unfortunately sometimes in the engineering community as well.

Please join us as we debunk these myths and misconceptions in a detailed overview of sound basics, including the often misapplied Sound Pressure, Sound Power, and Sound Intensity.  We will also review the proper testing methods for Sound Pressure and Sound Power. 

Do you know what standards apply to HVAC equipment; OSHA, ANSIS, & AHRI?  This information will help you accurately review HVAC equipment data and rating standards and be a more valuable asset to your owner!
