Acoustic quality has a significant impact on the performance, stress level, and wellness of building occupants. Quality acoustic environments increase productivity and improve health. Interior and exterior noise and vibration sources undermine acoustic quality when they are not identified and managed. Through the OMNIA Partners cooperative contract, Intertek helps clients enhance acoustic environments in new and existing buildings:

• Pre-design acoustic assessment identifies the sources of airborne noise and ground-borne vibration that could negatively impact indoor environments in proposed buildings. In existing buildings, assessments identify the sources of noise pollution prior to implementing mitigations.
• Intertek provides acoustic consulting to guide the design of acoustic and vibration isolation in new buildings and noise mitigations in existing buildings.
• Intertek conducts acoustic performance testing to validate successful acoustic designs and to support certifications, including WELL Building performance requirements.
