From large industrial units to fast food restaurant kitchen extract fans, fans of all kinds are the single most common environmental noise source. This online (or face-to-face) fan noise control workshop provides detailed guidance on “best practice” to assess and control noise from all types of fans with case studies on measurement, noise specification, installation details, silencers and simple, low-cost fan noise reduction retro-fixes for many small fan installations. It includes:-
- simple, low-cost retro-fit fixes for common fan noise problems
- fan noise evaluation techniques (tones, hums, whines...)
- smartphone use for quick evaluations
- pros and cons of all the control options, old and new
- reducing the carbon footprint of fan systems
- low noise installation guidance - and much more...
Many EHOs have benefited from running the very low-cost online or the in-house version at a host authority. The workshop has also proved popular for training Environment Agency staff.
"..the best lecturer I have ever had with relevant case studies...". Jon Tofts: PPC officer Environment Agency
"I did this course 15 years ago and have since completed the IoA noise diploma. This presentation is still the most complete refresher in acoustics I've seen.
