Abstract
A method of reducing sound transmission in a building constructed using horizontal cross laminated timber (CLT) panels to provide a floor of the building and a floor assembly are described. In an implementation, the method includes: attaching a plurality of energy transmission control mounts to a ceiling side of one or more of the cross-laminated timber panels using fasteners; attaching a plurality of furring channels to the energy transmission control mounts; and attaching a cross laminated timber sheet to the plurality of furring channels to form an exposed ceiling layer.

A method of reducing sound transmission in a building constructed using horizontal cross laminated timber (CLT) panels to provide a floor of the building, the method comprising:
- attaching a plurality of energy transmission control mounts to a ceiling side of one or more of the cross-laminated timber panels using fasteners;
- attaching a plurality of furring channels to the energy transmission control mounts;
- and
- attaching a cross laminated timber (CLT) sheet to the plurality of furring channels to form an exposed ceiling layer that is exposed on a lowest side of the CLT sheet.
A floor assembly in a building, the floor assembly comprising:
- a cross laminated timber (CLT) panel;
- a plurality of energy transmission control mounts attached to a ceiling side of the cross laminated timber panel using fasteners;
- a plurality of furring channels attached to the energy transmission control mounts;
- and
- a cross laminated timber (CLT) sheet attached to the plurality of furring channels to form an exposed ceiling layer that is exposed on a lowest side of the CLT sheet.
