Noise Reduction. The quantitative measure of sound isolation between spaces is called Noise Reduction (NR). The NR between two spaces, such as from the exterior to the interior of a dwelling, depends on the TL of the various components in the separating wall, the area of the separating wall, and the acoustical absorption n the receiving room. This value takes more into account than just the sound transmission characteristics of the wall material. Generally, values of NR are determined in one-third octave bands. A higher NR gives a lower noise level in the receiving room, indicating greater noise insulation. Noise Level Reduction: NLR is used to describe the reduction of environmental noise sources, such as aircraft. Lt is a single-number metric based on values of A-weighted noise reduction (NR). The greater the sound insulation in a wall, the lower the noise level in the receiving room, giving a higher NLR. The NLR is useful because it is a simpler metric to use than NR; one number is easier to apply than a set of numbers in one-third octave bands. However some building materials and components are more effective at reducing low-frequency noise than other materials or components. Since aircraft noise contains a lot of low frequency sound, it is important to ensure that insulating materials and components perform well at low frequencies. NLR is a good indicator of overall wall performance but may not be appropriate when designing modifications for aircraft noise reduction, especially if a good NLR value disguises poor low frequency insulation. Sound Transmission Class: Since working with a series of one-third octave TL measurements can be cumbersome, a single number descriptor based on the one-third octave values has been developed. This rating method is called the Sound Transmission Class (SIC). Like TL, the higher the STC rating for a construction method or component, the higher the sound insulation. Originally, STC ratings were developed as a single-number descriptor for the TL of interior office walls for typical office noise and speech spectra. Now, they are used, often incorrectly, for exterior walls as well. Most acoustical materials and components are commonly specified in terms of their SIC ratings. Sound Transmission Loss: This is the physical measure, which describes the sound insulation value of a built construction system or component. It is a measure, on a logarithmic scale, of the ratio of the acoustic sound power incident on the tested piece to the acoustic ...

Related to Noise Reduction

  • WORKFORCE REDUCTION In the event that funding reductions or shortfalls in funding occur in a department or are expected, which may result in layoffs, the department will notify the union and take the following actions:

  • Staff Reduction In the event the District adopts a reduced educational program by reason of financial necessity, including but not limited to, levy failure and/or decreased State or Federal support, certificated employees who will be retained to implement the District’s reduced or modified program and those certificated employees who will be non-renewed from employment or adversely affected in contract status shall be identified by the provisions contained in this Article. If the District is only reducing provisional employees, the following procedures do not need to be implemented.

  • Salary on Reduction A. 1. When a probationary employee is reduced to a class not previously occupied by the employee, the employee shall receive the recruiting step for the lower class and shall receive a new merit increase eligibility date as provided in Section 3.C., above, or the employee's salary and merit increase eligibility date may be determined by the Chief Human Resources Officer.

  • Price Reduction Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Warrant, at any time and from time to time during the period that this Warrant is exercisable, the Company in its sole discretion may reduce the Purchase Price or extend the period during which this Warrant is exercisable.

  • Voluntary Demotion or Voluntary Reduction in Hours An employee has a right to his regularly assigned time, and shall not have it involuntarily reduced. Employees who take voluntary demotions or voluntary reductions in assigned time in lieu of layoff shall be, at the employee’s option, returned to a position in their former class or to present former positions with increased assigned time as vacancies become available, for a period of five (5) years and three (3) months, except that they shall be ranked in accordance with their seniority on any valid reemployment list.

  • REDUCTION IN WORKFORCE 16.01 The employer will layoff employees in reverse order of seniority within the classification provided those retained have the ability to do the work. No new employee will be hired until all those qualified employees with recall rights have been given the opportunity to return to work and have failed to do so.

  • Voluntary Reduction The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to permanently reduce, without premium or penalty, (i) the entire Revolving Credit Commitment at any time or (ii) portions of the Revolving Credit Commitment, from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not less than $3,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender according to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. All Commitment Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

  • PERSONNEL REDUCTION Section 1 In the event of layoffs in connection with decreasing the work force, and the recall to work of people so laid off, the following consideration shall govern. Skill and ability as determined by reference to the employee's work record, and length of service shall be the determining factors; however, employees shall be laid off by category of seniority. There shall be three (3) seniority categories: probationary, 1 year to 5 years seniority, and over 5 years seniority. In case of layoff, all employees in the lowest seniority category shall be laid off before proceeding to layoff of anyone in a more senior category. Where skill and ability within a category are approximately equal, length of service shall govern. Employees having the same seniority within a category shall draw lots to determine the order of layoff. No new employees shall be hired until all laid off employees have been given the opportunity to be re-hired. Employees who have been laid off will be offered re-employment in the inverse order of layoffs when they are needed again, provided they are physically qualified and possess sufficient training and experience to perform the duties of the available work. The City shall give laid off employees ten (10) days notice of its intention to rehire. The employees shall within ten (10) days period notify the City of their intention to, or not to, return to the employ of the City, and shall report to work no later than fifteen (15) days from receipt of said notice to rehire. If an employee fails to notify the City within the ten (10) calendar day period of his/her intentions to return to work, or fails to report to work within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of notice, he/she shall be considered permanently severed from the employ of the City. At the time of a layoff the City shall provide all laid off employees with a complete physical examination. At the time of rehire, the City may require a physical examination prior to the employee's return to duty, and it is expressly understood that any employee found physically unfit to return to duty may be refused re-employment and removed from the employment list. The City shall not be obligated to rehire laid off employees who have been laid off for five (5) or more consecutive calendar years, beginning from the date of layoff.

  • Notice of Reduction in Coverage In the event that any coverage required by this section is reduced, limited, or materially affected in any other manner, Consultant shall provide written notice to City at Consultant’s earliest possible opportunity and in no case later than five days after Consultant is notified of the change in coverage.

  • Reduction in Force Procedure Should a situation arise which could result in a layoff of Faculty Members, the District shall provide the Federation with a written statement of the basis for the decision with supporting data and projected reductions that may be needed. Upon the request of either party, the District and the Federation shall meet promptly to discuss the impact of such action and any possible alternative courses of action. In the case of a reduction in force, the District shall notify the Federation in writing of the names of all Faculty Members to be laid off. This notice shall be given simultaneously with notification to the affected Faculty Members. This procedure shall also include all notifications of re-employment following a layoff.
