He has excellent communication skills and builds strong relationships with clients, consultants and stakeholders alike.

“When I was about 16 years old, I was in a friends house, and I heard the sound of a set of early Hi-fi speakers. The energy in the bass was amazing; I never heard anything like it before. This triggered my lifelong interest in sound that has led me to work in acoustics. “

Glen is a qualified acoustic consultant with a background in studio recording. Since joining iAcoustics, Glen has been involved in large-scale acoustic projects in the educational, commercial and residential sectors, with particular merits in assisting in the design of low-noise M&E systems. Glen has been commended on his ability to function within a large design team, resolving key acoustic issues quickly and effectively. Key projects include TUD Grangegorman Central & East Quads, Center Parcs,  Opportunity Pavilion Dubai Expo 2020 & PPP Bundle 1 social housing. 

“I have a keen interest in music and architecture; I’d like to think that Acoustics is halfway between the two. I’ve always been acutely aware of acoustics in the built environment: how it’s difficult to understand speech in churches, how I can hear my neighbours and how it’s difficult to concentrate in a noisy environment. It is rewarding to have a say in how future buildings are designed.”

Eoghan is a qualified Acoustic Consultant and has been involved in the audio industry for 10 years. His most notable designation is that of M.Phil., Music and Media Technologies, awarded by Trinity College Dublin with a distinction grade.  Eoghan specialises in the prediction of room acoustic parameters. For such predictions, three-dimensional computer models of a space are created in which physical models are then compiled. Such processes provide estimations on parameters such as reverberation time, speech intelligibility, and spaciousness. Key projects include TUD Grangegorman Central & East Quads, Ormond Quay hotel, Mespil Road hotel & Dolphins Barn Re-Development. 

“Growing up as a musician, I was acutely aware of the acoustic influence over the timbre of my instrument. I would gravitate towards the nicer sounding rooms when practising. I had no technical understanding as to why this was, but I did have a musical understanding.

The quality of my practice was conducted by the architectural composition of the room in which I sat, each room reflecting a different style.

Fast-forward 20 years, I am a terrible musician but a talented acoustician. In my profession, I get to design spaces that support superb musical performances.”
