NEBB SCMSV PDF

The state-of–the-art NEBB Study Course for Measuring Sound and Vibration (second edition) and reference publications reflect the most current information on obtaining and recording sound and vibration data on HVAC systems, plus the latest information on the science of sound and vibration. The study course uses the NEBBProcedural Standards for the Measurement and Assessment of Sound and Vibration (first edition) and NEBB Sound and Vibration Design and Analysis (first edition) as reference texts.

Designed to meet a recognized need in the construction field, this completely unique study course allows NEBB contractors, along with related disciplines in the construction industry, an opportunity to broaden their technical capabilities in both new and retrofit mechanical systems applications. Its release comes at a time when owners, tenants, regulatory agencies and designers are:

• Demanding tighter control of sound and vibration in complex building environmental systems.

• Specifying definite parameters for sound and vibration in governmental and private work.

• Zeroing in on “noise pollution” and its effect on performance and productivity within the work environment.

• Promulgating minimum noise standards for environmental systems equipment installed within or outside the building envelope.

NEBB has offered training and a study course in sound and vibration for three decades, and the Second Edition builds on experience gained from the previous course. In addition, one of the most widely known and highly respected acoustical authorities in the nation, Douglas D. Reynolds, was a consultant and developer of the reference manuals.

The course is targeted for persons with a technical background in construction and engineering who need to augment their working knowledge in sound and vibration -- without having to wade through complicated and intricate texts designed for acoustical engineers. The materials take the student progressively into theory, principles and techniques for sound and vibration measurement. Charts, graphs and illustrative examples are used to complement the written texts. Moreover, study can be accomplished at the student's own pace.

Completion of the NEBB Study Course (including the course examinations) does not qualify the student as having passed the NEBB National Qualification Examinations.
