Sabey Data Center - Intergate SDC52
Seattle, WA
Scope:
The Data Center is under frequent changes as new clients are added and existing clients expand. We have provided several property line noise evaluations for the generators and air handling equipment serving the data center, in addition to mechanical noise control and evaluation with respect to background noise levels in the server rooms and offices for specific tenants.
Challenges:
The Data Center is relatively close to several residences, some which overlook the facility, which provides a challenge for effectively screening the rooftop equipment. The multiple generators also present a challenge in reducing noise levels to the nearest properties.
Solutions:
Existing equipment was analyzed on site and, where applicable, quieter exhaust fans were selected to reduce noise levels where noise barriers would not be effective. For background noise level compliance, fans were evaluated on site and noise levels compared with applicable standards to ensure compliance with specifications.
