how we support education projects

Education projects may need to demonstrate compliance with, or design in accordance with, the acoustic criteria in Building Bulletin 93 and related guidance. Addressing these requirements early is more effective than retrofitting finishes or upgrading constructions later.

design targets

Establishing the applicable criteria for indoor ambient noise, reverberation time and sound insulation for each space.

design review

Advice on partitions, finishes and building services so each room meets its target.

testing & verification

Testing and verification appropriate to the project requirements, with practical remedial advice where performance falls short.
