Sessions
Solutions & facts on noise, health & public acceptance
Environmental impacts, social acceptance and spatial planning
When: Friday, 28 September 2018, 12:45 - 14:15
Where: Room: Kopenhagen 1
Session description
Setback distances of wind turbines to homes has become a siting issue. Setback regulations have been established and are under discussion in several regions. However, facts on the relation between setback distances and the annoyance of residents is unknown or neglected. This session will provide empirical evidence that the relation between setback distance and annoyance is negligible as long as the siting follows the established noise emissions regulations. Results from four European surveys and one national U.S. survey will be presented. A series of 5-minute presentations providing concrete examples will be followed by an interactive workshop.
