The firm has a broad experience base in the design of a variety of project types, with extensive experience with projects where control of comfort, background noise, humidity, odor, indoor air quality, and sound quality are major concerns. Combining acoustical design and mechanical engineering disciplines in one firm is a unique qualification. The mechanical system frequently controls acceptability of the acoustical environment and is a major element of the acoustical design. Off-site noise levels are also often controlled by mechanical equipment operation. The ability of the mechanical engineer and acoustician to work together closely insures that the overall performance of these interrelated systems will be optimized. Listed below are current or recently completed projects:

Evergreen State College Chiller System Study
Olympia, Washington
Greenbusch Group studied the existing Evergreen Campus Chilled water plant and provided recommendations for modifications and operations to improve building comfort and efficiency. The existing chillers are slightly undersized to meet the peak campus cooling demand during the heat of summer. The campus chilled water piping system is oversized to meet the needs of a campus about twice the size of the existing campus. Operating the chillers off and pre-peak load allows fluid contents of the oversized piping to act in effect as chilled water storage, extending the interval over which the plant can meet air conditioning needs. The study was completed in 1999.

Seminar II
The Evergreen State CollegeSeminar II is a new building on the Campus of Evergreen State College whose form evolves from a compilation of five clusters of lecture halls, classrooms and working/meeting spaces. The Audio/Video systems and acoustical characteristics were designed by The Greenbusch Group. Each of the five clusters was provided with similar features, allowing for flexible room assignments as dictated by the technology needs of each class or instructor. The basic series of rooms were provided with simple A/V systems, including a high-resolution monitor for computer display and a screen for use with portable projection equipment. The 2nd series of rooms were provided with a fixed video projector and screen, as well as a stereo-audio system for use with the room’s fixed A/V or with portable equipment. The 3rd series of rooms have the same A/V capabilities as the 2nd series, with the addition of a voice-reinforcement system, as the rooms are of sufficient size to benefit from this addition.
The final series of rooms are the Lecture Halls. These rooms have the most sophisticated A/V system capabilities and feature the highest quality data and video projection systems, surround sound for program audio, comprehensive distance learning capabilities with multiple cameras, plasma monitor displays and microphone/speakers for every two students. This level of A/V Technology integration allows for complete interaction of all students involved, whether within the classroom or a videoconference.
The Seminar II clusters are interconnected via a new central audio/video routing system, which allows media signals and/or video conference signals to be shared to any classroom in any of the new clusters, as well as across the campus or off-campus via CATV, High-Speed data lines, or satellite. Each classroom in Seminar II has complete Audio, Video, Data and Fiber-Optic cabling that can be automatically connected to another room, another Building or to the Campus TV studio. Seminar II provides some of the most technologically advanced A/V systems integration in the State.

Sea-Tac Airport Central Terminal Expansion
Port of SeattleThe Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is undergoing a vast remodel that will include a large central open space. Greenbusch is providing the audio and acoustical design of the central court as well as the design for the remodeled concourse paging and background music systems. The audio system is required to provide both background music to common public areas, as well as provide zoned, prioritized paging functions to spaces in very different and sometimes challenging acoustical environments, while still providing high-intelligibility to all patrons. To accomplish these tasks, Ambient Noise Sensing Equipment has been included in the design. This computer operated equipment will automatically adjust paging and music volume based on the local noise level. The new central terminal audio systems will connect to the Port's airport-wide paging system.

Bainbridge Island City Hall
City of Bainbridge IslandGreenbusch was involved in the design of audio and video systems for the City Hall Public Meeting Room. In addition to being the central gathering place for city government activity, the meeting room also functions as a location for community gatherings. Recognizing that ease of use and fluid system integration were essential, the video system was designed to provide simplicity of use by persons making presentations to the council. The system features an auto-mixing system, allowing for simple unattended operation. Each member of the council was provided with a small speaker and volume control at each prosition on the dais. The "mix-minus" system allows each member to hear themselves at a reduced volume, but provides progressively louder reproduction, based on the physical position of the member in relation to one another. Infrastructure to perform a Broadcast of the council meetings was designed into the system, to allow the City to implement this feature at a later date.
