Acoustic Building Systems and Technologies
A deep understanding of sound transmission through complex structures, characterized by numerous interfaces and surfaces forms the base of our work on building systems and technologies. Our extensive knowledge in building acoustics is applied to the development of novel modeling and characterization methods of conventional and lightweight building components and their connections (with special attention for wood construction) aiming at the acoustical optimization of products and designs. In addition, we support companies in the experimental assessment of the acoustical performance of their products and building solutions in our well-equipped labs, which are accredited for sound transmission and sound absorption measurements (STS 0068).

Our facilities allow for the quantification of the sound transmission of full size lightweight assemblies.
