Salesforce Tower, the 1070-foot-tall building in San Francisco, is proud to be the first-of-its-kind workspace designed specifically to promote the health and well-being of its occupants. And Trinity Cerami is proud to have helped them achieve their vision, acoustically.

 

Challenge

In keeping with the team’s desire to create a seamless fusion of the most cutting-edge architectural achievements in sustainability, technology and engineering, we designed the tower to NC40, designed the façade to meet CalGreen Code, provided Class A interior sound levels, and a design for their onsite generator to reduce the impact to both tenants of the building and external sensitive receivers. Our services included local floor air-handler sound attenuation and glass solutions to mitigate external noise.

 

Solutions

Providing base building acoustical design, we assessed the environmental strains on the location, taking into consideration that it is in the center of a primary commercial and transportation hub. Adhering to stringent San Francisco noise codes, Cerami made sure that the tallest building in the city achieved the highest standards. Salesforce Tower is LEED Platinum Certified.

 

Services Performed

The team designed to NC40 noise criteria, developed façade systems compliant with CalGreen Code, and engineered Class A interior sound levels. They designed onsite generator acoustic isolation, delivered floor air-handler sound attenuation, and provided glass solutions to mitigate external noise.

Results

Cerami made sure that the tallest building in the city achieved the highest standards. The tallest building in San Francisco now achieves the highest standards for acoustic comfort and sustainability — earning LEED Platinum certification while ensuring a healthy, quiet workplace for all occupants.
