Build lighter, reduce embodied carbon

CALMFLOOR active mass dampers (AMDs) reduce embodied carbon in building floors by saving unnecessary extra concrete and steel to meet required vibration performance.

This patented technology can seamlessly align architectural ambitions with enhanced performance, sustainability, cost-effectiveness and a strong commitment to reducing carbon emissions.

The operating emission of a CALMFLOOR AMD over a 50-year period is 548 kg CO2e. Emissions from material extraction, production and manufacturing is 480kg CO2e. Power consumption is typically only around 20-25W and, at its highest peak, not more than 350W.

CALMFLOOR units reduce embodied carbon in building floors by saving unnecessary extra construction materials (concrete, steel, etc.) to meet required vibration performance. By making the existing floor perform better we can often ‘save the floor’ and avoid pouring any additional concrete.
