Why is active control for vibration in buildings so exciting?
If you’re new to active control and its mastery in mitigating against vibration in buildings, you’re missing out on a phenomenal new era of design freedom and building performance – and a world of real-time data.
Make no mistake, active vibration control is the future – and it’s here now thanks to CALMFLOOR’s active mass damping (AMD) technology. Active vibration control is galvanising architects, engineers and contractors and changing the way they think about building design.
Here’s why CALMFLOOR is the single-most exciting innovation to hit our industry in decades.
Convention says, if you want to resolve or mitigate against excessive vibration in a new-build or existing structure, just add mass. Load more steel, pour more concrete, get heavy – or add a passive damping solution. Yet those courses of action fly in the face of ambitious building designers who want to build lighter and more sustainably to meet Net Zero targets.
Enter active vibration control
A CALMFLOOR unit is a 67kg AMD that’s ultra low-cost, low-carbon that resolves complex vibration issues through multi-frequency software control – control that’s directed just to the areas that need it – straight out of the box. It can be installed in less than a day to new, existing or repurposed buildings and is versatile enough to accommodate future changes in building layout or use. Instant gratification if you will.
CALMFLOOR is the dream technology for architects, engineers and contractors with a quest for lower-mass floors, lighter beams, timber frames and longer-span, unsupported floors that perform better. All with no additional embodied carbon.
Add all the critical data you’ve been missing until now to the mix and things get really exciting…
BIM integration and your building’s entire performance story
CALM®CONNECT is CALMFLOOR’s smart portal technology that can give you a complete data set for your entire building. That’s real-time performance monitoring and 24/7 historical data for every part of every floor. CALM®CONNECT is your bridge to BIM integration for your building and the link to its entire performance story – invaluable for building owners, managers and tenants who have to have the full picture.
There is nothing in the world that comes close. Fact.
CALMFLOOR is the industry’s most compelling case for vibration control. Are you ready to get active?
