1. A method of reducing sound transmission in a building constructed using horizontal cross laminated timber (CLT) panels to provide a floor of the building, the method comprising:
attaching a plurality of energy transmission control mounts to a ceiling side of one or more of the cross-laminated timber panels using fasteners; and
attaching a cross laminated timber (CLT) sheet to the energy transmission control mounts to form an exposed ceiling layer that is exposed on a lowest side of the CLT sheet.
