Ranier
Plaza
This
24-story office building is located in the heart of downtown Bellevue,
WA. JGL Acoustics, Inc. was involved throughout the design and construction
of this project, with the major emphasis on the noise and vibration
control of the HVAC systems. The building is served by custom Mark
Hot plug fans that serve two floors, so there is an air handling
unit located on every other floor. This created an acoustical concern
because there was leasable office space on every other floor with
a mechanical room both above and below. All of the major supply
air ducts in this building are spiral round to minimize breakout
noise. By coordinating duct locations with the structural engineer,
the main supply air ducts were allowed to penetrate through the
beams to keep the floor-to-floor heights at a minimum.
