How Indoor Environmental Quality Shapes Cognitive Performance – And Why Noise & Vibration Solutions Matter

At Kinetics Group of Companies (KGC), our mission goes beyond delivering engineering solutions — we create environments where people work smarter, learn better, and live healthier. A recent systematic review by Wang et al. (2021, Building and Environment) sheds light on how Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) directly affects occupants’ cognitive functions, which are the very foundation of productivity and decision-making […]

5 Critical Vibration Issues Killing Your HVAC Equipment (And How to Fix Them)

In the intricate world of building management and industrial operations, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems are silently working to maintain optimal indoor environments. However, there’s a hidden enemy that can silently sabotage their efficiency, shorten their lifespan, and disrupt the peace: VIBRATION. Uncontrolled vibration in HVAC equipment isn’t just an annoyance; it’s a […]

How Sound Attenuators Work

Effective noise control is essential in modern building environments, particularly where comfort and productivity are priorities. Sound attenuators—also known as duct silencers—are critical components in HVAC systems, designed to minimize noise transmission through ductwork and maintain acoustic comfort in occupied spaces. (1)(3) Fundamental Concepts What is Sound? Sound is a propagating vibrational disturbance or wave in […]

The Impact of Noise Pollution from Building Ventilation and Mechanical Systems

Noise pollution generated by building ventilation systems, generator room vents, and pump room ventilation is a growing concern in modern construction. This issue is particularly significant in environments such as industrial buildings, hotels, hospitals, and educational facilities, where both occupant comfort and regulatory compliance are critical. Where Is This Noise Most Common? Commercial and Educational […]
