From natural gas to zero emissions

The property sector accounts for a large a proportion of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions and is facing a major challenge to build more climate smart. One way is to build more with timber, which requires new solutions and expertise for the damping of sound and vibrations. Since timber joist floors are not as stiff as concrete, acoustic expertise is often required to meet sound insulation classes A, B and C. Based on many years of field experience and laboratory tests, Christian Berner has developed four standard solutions for floating floors and customised solutions where entire storeys are insulated from each other in order to achieve a good environment and satisfaction for the residents.
