Recent work has focused on the analysis and design of noise and vibration control for building services as well as architectural acoustic design for commercial and institutional spaces that include acoustic optimization, speech intelligibility and privacy solutions. Ian is familiar with the acoustical implications associated with LEED and WELL building design and has considerable experience in using measurement techniques to identify and develop controls for troublesome noise and vibration problems.
