About Us
In an article written for the New York Real Estate Journal, AKRF Technical Director and Acoustical Engineer Benjamin Sachwald explains the integral role of acoustical consultation in project development.
The piece chronicles how New York City overhauled its Noise Control Code in the early 2000s, addressing a wide range of noise sources in the city, including new rules concerning construction noise.
Acoustical consultants can provide guidance to a developer not only on compliance issues relating to the New York City Noise Control Code and Building Code, but also on how to minimize noise effects on inhabitants of the building and on how to minimize the effects of construction noise on the surrounding community.
