Comment on Take The Poll. What is the Biggest Challenge Facing LEED? by Diane Tuinstra

Diane Tuinstra — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 11:17:59 +0000

LEED also doesn’t give enough credit for historic preservation – not enough consideration given to the embodied energy in buildings that already exist and the energy effiencies that were built into older structures. I also think they need to stop certifiying projects built on greenfields in the middle of nowhere when the only way to reach them is via automobile. That’s just not sustainable.

Comment on Acoustics from the Ancient Amphitheatre to the Modern Arena by Kenric Van Wyk

Kenric Van Wyk — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 19:28:03 +0000

Bennett,

Thanks for the comments. You are correct that noise into the surrounding community can certainly be an issue. We have worked on projects where a stretch roof (with very little transmission loss) can result in crowd noise emanating out into the community. In addition, arenas have very large mechanical systems that can result in a lot of community noise issues. All of these considerations do need to be taken into account.

Great article Kenric! I like the way that you have synthesized the key arena acoustics issues into a brief and focused presentation. Another area of concern which could arise is the potential impact that an arena may have on the surrounding community, and the methods of containing the entertainment within, to maximize the enjoyment of the patrons and minimize the disturbance to others.

Comment on How Hotel Conference Rooms Can Make Money By Offering Audio-Visual Services In House by Suffolk Hotel Conference

profitability is a concern with all businesses but it is also about guest satisfaction. As with all “hospitality” industry roles the priority is the guest.

We stock a selection of standard equipment and then have a dedicated company who we use for more technical requests.
