Acoustic Panels – Hellenic Republic

Ambisol has successfully installed Quiet Acoustic’s resonator panels into George Calombaris popular Hellenic Republic in Brunswick.

The Quiet Acoustic panels have provided the solution needed to help reduce unwanted vocal noise within the restaurant.

In a social environment 80-250Hz low frequency vocal noise is often where the noise problem originates. High frequency sounds (500 – 4000Hz), is normally the sound frequency that creates  your venue’s ambience. Traditional sound reduction applications such as acoustic ceiling panels and tiles, sound deadening foams etc remove the high frequencies and leave you with the vocal noise which is normally the problem.

Quiet Acoustic’s resonators are the tailored solution to your hospitality noise problems. For more information and to book your own free assessment please call us on 1300 844 341. For more information on the Acoustic Resonator Panels please visit http://quietacoustics.com.au

Unique noise reduction solutions

There are many sound “absorbing” products and acoustic solutions on the market that claim to be perfect for reducing noise. If your problem is low frequency, they simply do not work. Common examples of low frequency noise (0-250Hz) are vocal noise in cafes, bars, and open plan office space, and many industiral machines and air tools.

Ambisol working together with Quiet Acoustic engineers specialise in low frequency noise reduction.

Quiet Acoustic panels are uniquely different in that they cancel noise when it originates, rather than slowly absorb or diffuse, they are made specific to your problem frequencies.

Quiet Acoustic panels are far advanced from the ineffective “absorption” or “diffusion” techniques often specified for hospitality. Quiet Acoustic panels are hollow passive systems tuned to silently resonate (vibrate) at the frequency you wish to eliminate. They do not require electricity, but rather rely on existing sound waves or air in the room to excite vibration. The can be made out of 100% recycled materials.

In hospitality, the problem frequencies are the male and female voice (80-250Hz). All other frequencies (0-4000Hz) (the bar, kitchen, dining, barrista, music etc) are single point sources and add to the ambience. Traditional absorption and diffusion techniques achieve 5-10% reduction at best, and predominantly target the higher (ambient) frequencies, rather than the problem ones. Ambisol can consult with your business to specify panels that cancel problem frequencies. After Quiet Acoustics build your panels in their specialised workshop Ambisol can then install them without disruption to your business. Its’s that easy!

Why not take up our offer for a 1 month trial today? If you do not notice the improvement, we will uninstall and request no payment. We can’t be fairer than that!

Insulation Scheme – The End

As suspected the House Insulation Program has officially been terminated. Ambsiol like may other legitimate industry participants are very disappointed that scheme has come to an end. The scheme had many upsides in a particular increasing the energy efficiency of the vast housing stock in Australia.

The demise of the scheme should not deter home owners from continuing to try and improve the energy efficiency of there homes. Ambsiol will offer home owners installations at a discount rate (please see previous post) to ensure that energy efficiency initiatives can keep rolling on. Please call us on 1300 844 341 to discuss further options.

Below is the press release from the Federal Government.

INSULATION COMPONENT OF THE RENEWABLE ENERGY BONUS SCHEME WILL NOT PROCEED

Following advice received from Dr Allan Hawke in his Review of the Administration of the Home Insulation Program, the Government has decided it will not proceed with the insulation component of the Renewable Energy Bonus Scheme (REBS).

The insulation component of the REBS was due to commence on 1 June 2010. The Solar Hot Water Rebate component will proceed as previously announced.

The Government’s primary focus is on safety in the Home Insulation Program wind-up. The Government priority moving forward is the safety inspection programs for the Home Insulation Program.

The Hawke Review of the Administration of the Home Insulation Program

The report by Dr Allan Hawke into the Home Insulation Program (HIP) was a key determinant in the Government’s decision to not proceed with this component of REBS.

Dr Hawke has advised the Government that he has “grave concerns about the wisdom of proceeding with any further government supported home insulation program.”

In his report he notes that “the safety and quality risks cannot be fully abated and both the Government’s efforts and those of reputable industry players will be largely deployed on the Government’s rectification program, which must proceed as soon as possible.”

Dr Hawke further advised in his report that if the Government did take the decision to proceed, significant risk mitigation policies would be required. The implementation of these policies would cause a significant delay to the 1 June start date.

It is because of these concerns about the development of an appropriate risk management framework in regards to safety and compliance issues that the Government has made the decision that REBS will proceed without the insulation component.

Dr Hawke’s report will be tabled in the Parliament today and made available publicly.

Safety for Households

In remediation of the HIP, the Government’s first priority remains the safety of households.

The Government has established the Home Insulation Safety Program (HISP) and the Foil Insulation Safety Program (FISP).

Under the HISP, safety inspections of a minimum of 150,000 homes that had non-foil insulation installed under the HIP will be carried out.

In line with Dr Hawke’s recommendation the HISP will begin as soon as possible, once the Government is satisfied that the appropriate compliance and safety mechanisms are in place.

Under the FISP, the 50,000 homes that had foil insulation installed under the HIP will have the option of having the foil insulation removed, or alternatively on the advice of a licensed electrician, having safety switches installed.

Impact on Industry

The Government also considered the impact that this decision will have on the insulation industry.

The most important form of industry assistance that the Government can provide is to help restore confidence in the home insulation retrofitting segment of the industry.

The HISP will be critical to rebuilding confidence and demand in the industry. It will assist long-standing reputable firms in the industry by allowing them, subject to meeting the criteria, to participate in home inspections.

Prior to the commencement of the Government’s Home Insulation Program approximately 65-70,000 retrofits of home insulation were performed each year. A minimum of 150,000 inspections to be performed over a period of less than a year will entail a significant amount of work for reputable companies in the industry.

The Government’s analysis is that the inspection programs will provide significant scope for business activity and employment for the long standing and reputable members of the insulation industry.

In addition, the Government has already committed $56 million to assist insulation workers and companies affected by the closure of the Home Insulation Program and extended the opportunity for firms to apply for deferral of their GST payments.

It is anticipated that the detailed guidelines for the $15 million Insulation Industry Assistance Package will be released soon. This package will provide financial assistance to eligible insulation firms to help meet the cost of retaining insulation stock that was held at the termination of the Home Insulation Program.
