Studies have shown that the acoustic environment within a healthcare facility has a direct impact on patients’ recovery and healing rates. Factors such as external noise ingress, mechanical services noise and operational noise all contribute to the overall noise environment.
Acoustic design for new healthcare facilities in the UK is based on the guidance contained in Health Technical Memorandum HTM08-01 (or more recent incarnations such as the ‘Department of Health Technical Design Manual’) and our consultants have extensive experience in designing to this document.

To carry out the detailed acoustic design of the scheme to achieve the Employers Requirements and Planning Conditions. The Health Centre was designed to the new HTM 08-01 acoustic criteria, to ensure suitable speech privacy and acoustic insulation throughout the facility. The main library area doubles as a performance space for music and theatre and so detailed 3D modelling was carried out to determine the optimum compromise between the conflicting requirements.

Cass Allen advised ISG on the acoustic design and construction of this new £4.7 million 75-bed care home development.
The site is located close to numerous transportation routes, including the new Luton & Dunstable Busway, and Cass Allen provided design guidance to ensure that the noise-sensitive internal environments were acoustically suitable and met relevant acoustic performance standards.
In addition, the care home will be served by a significant amount of internal and external machinery and Cass Allen worked with the design team to ensure that noise and vibration generated by equipment would not disturb residents of the care home or other noise-sensitive premises in the area.
The project is enclosed under a glass domed roof and during the process we advised on sound insulation and reverberation control design to achieve appropriate acoustic performance standards throughout the rooms of the remodelled areas.

Cass Allen Associates advised ISG on the acoustic design for a 90-bed residential care-home at the former Lannock School site in Letchworth Garden City.
We provided design guidance to ensure acoustic performance standards were achieved in the internal areas in line with planning condition requirements, as well as advising on noise and vibration control for mechanical plant, kitchen and laundry equipment.

To design the acoustic treatment required to achieve the stringent planning noise limits for a new cooler compound. Due to the proximity of dwellings and a care home, extensive acoustic treatment was required to the equipment together with screening/bunding.
