Who We Are Cerami has earned the reputation as the premier technology and acoustic design consulting company working with world-class developers and architects on their iconic projects, globally.

We’re unique in that we bridge acoustics with technology to create the total user experience. Practical and visionary, we work closely with a project’s design team to create solutions that meet the designer and the end-user’s project goals. It’s often up to Cerami to create that signature voice – in terms of how a building or space sounds or perhaps how it doesn’t sound at all, as well as how its inhabitants connect to one another through technology.

Our multi-disciplinary team also bring 55 years of experience and excellence to create environments that are resilient, adaptable and exemplary.

We are a Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE).

TRANSPORTATION EXPERTISE OUR DESIGN Acoustic design is a “whole-building” discipline that revolves around three basic challenges: providing intelligibility, enhancing speech privacy, and eliminating internal and external noise and vibration.

Cerami sees the primary acoustical goals for transportation facility projects as the creation of the desired acoustical environment and the control of ambient noise due to the disparate sources of patrons and building mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services. The key challenge is servicing in an unobtrusive, cost-effective, and practical manner. We work closely with the Client, Architect, and Engineer to assure that the goals are achieved.

One of the concerns in the design of airline terminals and transportation hubs is the ability to interface the paging system requirements within the ever-changing ambient noise of the space. Special attention is required when addressing ambient noise, and sensing devices for enhanced audio intelligibility, not to mention the interface with the visual displays, both for ADA compliance and Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS). Our experienced audiovisual department pays close attention to the pre-recorded announcement systems and the ability to modify and add messages, either on the fly or through a service company.

Our role as an AV consultant is to be our client’s advocate. We help our clients define their project goals, and then design the AV systems to reflect these goals. We incorporate an infrastructure into each project that will allow the system to be adapted to advancing technology. We neither sell equipment nor have affiliations with manufacturers, vendors, or contractors. Our recommendations are objective, influenced only by the consideration of meeting our client’s project goals.

KEEPING UP WITH THE PACE OF TECHNOLOGY The pace of technological advancement dictates that we strive for maximum flexibility, capacity, and standards compliance in all infrastructure design. Throughout the process, we constantly refine our decisions about specific equipment and software, as technology evolves. Achieving reliability of critical IT networks and security systems in accordance with the client’s budget and schedule requires informed and objective analysis, evaluation, and optimization of the design to achieve desired performance in the most cost-effective manner.

OUR EXPERTISE

AVIATION EXPERTISE Worldwide air passenger traffic is roughly 4.8 billion per year. The primary goal of airport design is the efficient movement of people We help the design team meet this through creating an environment that reduces traveler stress and fatigue by mitigating the effects of noise and vibration, increasing intelligibility of public address systems, and improving ambient level of interior acoustics. We also understand reliable communication systems are the backbone to proper airport infrastructure and we work closely with the design team to ensure they support mission critical operations.

While we cannot promise that the airplane will leave on time, we can certainly help travelers hear their names called for final boarding or see that a delay has occurred.

ARCHITECTURAL AND MECHANICAL ACOUSTICS • • • • • •

Review of various building systems to ensure appropriate background noise levels Building shell/façade analysis and design to control noise from airplane activity into terminal spaces Analysis of interior construction assemblies for sound transmission between spaces Review and analysis of baggage handling systems for noise and vibration control requirements Analysis of acoustical finishes for reverberation time and speech intelligibility within passenger spaces Review of public address system design for speech intelligibility

COMPUTER MODELING • Utilize 3D computer models to analyze reverberation time of large terminal spaces • Analyze public address and mass notification systems for speech intelligibility • Acoustic simulations and virtual reality to experience spaces prior to being built PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM • Efficient public address/paging systems that account for proper speaker placement, background noise considerations, multi-system integration, etc.

• Development of all LAN/WAN, and related paging infrastructure requirements to support the system.

• Specifying all IP-based communication devices.

• Display Systems that are ADA compliant and interface with Flight Information Display Systems (FIDS).

• Support for pre-recorded announcement systems with the ability to modify and add messages, either on the fly or through a service company.

• Provide Flexible system options that support both current and future requirements.

CRITICAL SECURITY SYSTEMS / SECURITY CAMERA AND VIDEO SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS • • • • • • • • • • •

Keeping passengers and staff safe Protecting the perimeter, apron and runway and other restricted areas Monitoring crowds and foot traffic Preventing theft Compliance with requirements from AHJ’s Coordination with Life Safety Systems, Fire Alarms, etc.

Coordination with emergency backup power systems to ensure that a power failure will not disable these systems High definition IP based cameras Use of panoramic and multi-sensor cameras to improve coverage without increasing infrastructure and operating costs Integration with access control and intrusion detection systems Implement video analytics
