NOISE management specialist, Kimpton Acoustics, has been awarded two contracts to control noise levels from combined heat and power (CHP) units at two Yorkshire hospitals. The company will work at St James Hospital in Leeds and Airedale Hospital in Keighley to help reduce the impact of the systems on the patient experience. Spokesman, Bob Jones, explained: "The most energy-efficient solution to providing heating and electricity is not always the quietest, but this should never be an impediment to making the most of advanced generation technologies. Our acoustic enclosures will guarantee that noise is kept at acceptable levels, enabling electricity to be supplied to the hospitals to meet its energy needs efficiently and quietly."
