Architectural Acoustics at ISE

ISE is one of only a small handful of firms offering a complete suite of acoustical engineering services tailored specifically to architectural applications and compliance with applicable federal, state, and local building requirements.

Standard architectural services typically include:

• Noise analysis for environmental impact studies compliant with CEQA, NEPA, EPA, and HUD.
• Advanced acoustical modeling using various tools including the IS3 field propagation model.
• Acoustical space design for audio-visual applications.
• Descriptive acoustics and contouring using GIS methods.
• Reverberation time testing (RT₆₀).
• LEED compatible acoustical analyses.
• Field sound transmission classification (FSTC) testing.
• Normalized isolation classification (NIC) and Outside-Inside Transmission Classification (OITC) and mitigation compliance.
• Field Impact Isolation Classification (FIIC) testing.
• HVAC and industrial noise source mitigation.
• ‘Phantom Noise’ location and mitigation.
• Active and passive noise control technology.
• Acoustical laboratory testing.
