Our Services
TDS strives to design acoustic environments comfortable to relax, work, and be entertained while maintaining a beautiful visual aesthetic. Today we have acoustic materials that can blend and disappear into architectural designs or create their visual statement. TDS allows the architect to design a visually captivating environment that will function as expected... Every time.
Design
TDS uses advanced computer modeling and prediction tools. What sets TDS apart from other acoustic engineering firms is our experience with real-world construction methods. We listen to what the owner's expectations are and provide solutions to meet them.
TDS works with most architectural design tools including Revit, AutoCAD, and Sketchup Pro. We can easily convert these formats into our acoustic design workflow.
Design Tools
- EASE/AURA
- Wave Analysis
- IRIS 3D Impulse Response System
- OTL Suite Noise Mapping
