HVAC systems: Quality of acoustics in one university's interconnected projects presents challenge
CertainTeed Corporation

Coordinating the complete mechanical work that serves two new facilities being constructed at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Va., while working with two different engineering firms and two sets of drawings and directions, presented a challenge for mechanical contractors, Riddleberger Bros. Inc. (RBI).

Based in Mount Crawford, Va., RBI is putting the finishing touches on the new $3 million, nearly 19,000-square-foot Leeolou Alumni Center, as well as a 61,000-square-foot addition to the university's 46,000-square-foot College Center. The new buildings connect to both sides of the existing College Center. Each project is funded separately and has its own engineer, which requires coordination to integrate the different systems.

Because acoustics are a concern, designers chose CertainTeed ToughGard Duct Liner with Enhanced Surface in one- and two-inch widths for the HVAC ductwork. The fiberglass insulation liner, produced with a unique surface coating with moisture-repellent properties, provides optimum acoustical performance. Its breathable coating preserves the sound-dampening performance of the duct liner by allowing sound waves to pass through the open-cell structure and into the sound-absorbing glass fiber mat.

Working in the 31,000-square-foot RBI shop, fabricators applied more than 14,000 square feet of the ToughGard liner to the ductwork. Liner was used on the rectangular duct, which averaged 48 inches by 30 inches in size. In some high-velocity, high-pressure portions of the College Center system, the addition of perforated metal liner for increased sound attenuation was specified.
