            AGI Staff have completed their evaluation on the planned Emergency Generator Project for the Centinela Hospital.  As City of Inglewood’s the only hospital, Centinela Hospital consists of a level II emergency department, orthopedic care, advanced cardiac service, peripheral artery disease treatment and OB/GYN services.  Currently, CHMC and the entire campus are in the process of upgrading their electrical system.  As part of the upgrade, the hospital wants to construct 3 new emergency generators. 

AGI recommended the use of exhaust and intake silencers to reduce the noise as low as possible. Also, the generator should be surrounded by solid panels and acoustical baffles to lessen the unwanted sound.  By following these procedures and guidelines, it will comply with the noise standard of the city.  After all the construction and the installation of the project, one must have a follow up verification survey to ensure the noise of the generator meets to noise cirtieria.
