Predicting HVAC Noise Outdoors

For outdoor HVAC systems, noise generated by equipment such as fans, air-cooled chillers, dry-coolers, pumps, and cooling towers needs to be predicted at a receiver location. The factors that play a role in predicting the ultimate sound level heard at a site from HVAC equipment include application of manufacturers sound data, location effects, source noise control, and outdoor sound propagation.
