We have a schools project that is utilizing heat pump units which are located in the individual classrooms in a mechanical closet. In order to meet the prerequisite the noise genreated from the HVAC system has to be below 45 dba. The manufacturer of the equipment does not have a published noise level to start running calculations. Is there an alternative compliance path such as sound metering?

No, I am not aware of an alternative compliance path in the LEED documentation.
