FCBA, CSTB and Cerqual joint forces together with the French acoustic wood technical commission, to create in 2020, an in-situ measurement mockup: the "Maquette Acoustique Bois". The mockup is a CLT based building of three floors construction, with four rooms on each level. Measurements from junction characterization to air-borne and impact sound insulations can be performed. In this paper the "Maquette Acoustique Bois" is used to measure vibration reductions levels indexes Kij, in different configurations, where smart building systems junctions are implemented to reduce flanking transmissions. Measurement results presented are generated from 4 types of junctions in between 2 rooms. The load bearing structure is Cross Laminated Timber (CLT). The measurement strategy is Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA). SEA involves cutting the structure into subsystems and decomposing the spectrum into third-octaves or octaves. In this way, the exchange of energy flow in the substructures can be analyzed. The parameters that govern vibrational transmission between subsystems are damping and coupling loss factors and can be identified experimentally by reversing the problem. The approach is, first, based on sub-structuring strategy of structure; second, on experimentally measured coupling and damping loss factors; third, on extracting vibration level difference one by one all flanking passes.
