They are related to 29 different CLT-based floor assemblies. The weighted sound reduction index (Rw), and the weighted normalized impact sound pressure level (Ln,w) are estimated with an accuracy of 2 dB. Then a LCA study is conducted on assemblies that are used to test the network model. The acoustic performance and their environmental impacts are compared to highlight trends that may guide decision-makers in the design phase. This paper initially found that CLT-based floor assemblies generally increase the environmental impacts to achieve better acoustic insulation. However, a good sound attenuation can be reached by selecting suitable acoustic solutions.", }
