Bill Holliday

Bill is an Acoustical Engineer with over 13 years of experience. He has extensive experience working on both architectural and environmental projects. 

On architectural projects, he is responsible for conducting room acoustics and sound isolation measurements, performing room acoustics predictions, analyzing sound and vibration isolation, evaluating HVAC system noise and vibration and making design recommendations.  

On environmental projects, he is responsible for measuring ambient and source sound levels, modeling and analyzing noise sources, determining federal/state/local noise code compliance, recommending methods for noise impact reduction, and addressing acoustical issues in community meetings and hearings.

Services

Room Acoustics
•    Reverberation time
•    Speech intelligibility
•    Sound quality
•    Control of echoes, reflections, and focusing
•    Help select acoustical finishes
Typical projects include: religious facilities, classrooms/lecture halls, office spaces/conference rooms, theaters, broadcast studios, sports arenas

Sound and Impact Isolation
•    Evaluate sound and/or impact isolation based on construction designs
•    Measure sound and/or impact isolation
•    Make recommendations to provide acoustical privacy between occupied spaces or to control unwanted noise, such as from mechanical equipment or exterior sources
Typical projects include: multi-family housing, education facilities (K-12, colleges, universities), office spaces, hotels/resorts, hospitals, museums
 
Mechanical System Noise and Vibration Control
•    Evaluate and design for control of noise and vibration from mechanical equipment
•    Noise and vibration from fans, boilers, chillers, pumps, cooling towers, and piping are typically analyzed in order to meet noise guidelines
Unwanted noise and vibration from mechanical and plumbing systems can cause a problem in any noise sensitive space if not properly addressed

Environmental Noise
•    Ambient sound level surveys
•    Noise measurement, modeling and analysis for traffic, aircraft, commercial, industrial, construction, light and heavy rail, power plant, aggregate mining, and housing projects
•    Determine federal/state/local noise code compliance and community noise exposure
•    Recommend methods for reduction of noise impact
•    Detailed noise barrier or other noise mitigation design
•    Preparation of noise analysis reports for use in preparing environmental assessments
•    Public outreach programs for successful project implementation

Industrial Noise
•    In-plant occupational noise surveys (OSHA compliance)
•    Design hearing conservation programs
•    Recommend mitigation methods to reduce the noise and vibration from industrial equipment
