Doctors Office Noise Struggles

Achieving quiet comfort and climate balance for modern clinics.

Published on
November 12, 2025

Located in Melbourne’s medical district, this doctor’s office serves as both a clinical space and consultation hub for specialists. The client required an HVAC system that not only maintained year-round comfort but also integrated seamlessly into the architectural aesthetic.

The challenge stemmed from fluctuating climate conditions and a growing patient volume that made temperature consistency difficult to achieve. Additionally, the office experienced noticeable background noise from existing duct systems, disrupting consultations and patient comfort.

Staark’s design and engineering team collaborated with the architect to implement a quiet, adaptive, and visually cohesive air distribution system. Through acoustic ducting, adjustable linear grilles, and custom-designed finishes, the result achieved a balanced environment where performance and design coexist effortlessly.

Challenges and innovative solutions in commercial HVAC

Precision engineering transforms complex environmental challenges into strategic opportunities for performance and efficiency.

Uneven temperature zones in consultation and waiting areas

The clinic experienced inconsistent air distribution — some consultation rooms were overly cold while shared spaces were warm, creating discomfort for both staff and patients.

Square Multi-Directional Grilles (Adjustable)

Installed adjustable linear grilles to regulate airflow direction and intensity per zone, allowing medical staff to tailor comfort levels for each room without overloading the system.

Background noise from air ducts disrupting consultations

The clinic experienced inconsistent air distribution — some consultation rooms were overly cold while shared spaces were warm, creating discomfort for both staff and patients.

Acoustic Duct

Integrated acoustic ducting systems with internal sound-absorbing lining, reducing noise transmission and improving the acoustic experience for both patients and practitioners.

Aesthetic integration of air-conditioning components in client-facing areas

The clinic experienced inconsistent air distribution — some consultation rooms were overly cold while shared spaces were warm, creating discomfort for both staff and patients.

Custom Filters

Collaborated with Staark’s design team to fabricate custom-built grilles matching the interior color palette and finish, ensuring the HVAC system complemented the overall architectural vision.
