Urban Wind Turbines at Elephant and Castle
The Masters' students working in Acoustics and Sustainability are collaborating on a 'real' project to redevelop Elephant and Castle. The research is sponsered by Southwark Council, London South Bank University and Norsonics. Under the Mayor's 10% renewable energy policy new developments need sustainable options to be approved for planning. Wind energy is one such example. However, planning permission will only be given if noise annoyance in the community is acceptable. Currently, you can find us on the roof of buildings logging the background noise level before the installation of a test wind turbine, which should produce 6 kW of electricity
