“…Equivalent continuous sound level (¸C O ) and other indices have been used to describe the noise generated by road tra$c [1,2]. In his survey dealing with e!ects of road tra$c noise in Greater London under free-#ow conditions, Langdon [3] found that over the range of noise levels from 60 to 80 dB (A)¸ (the level exceeded or equalled for 10% of the measurement time), nuisance was found to be highly correlated with noise level measured as¸ over 24, 18 or 12 h and as¸C O over 24 h. Social surveys and "eld measurements [4] indicate a correlation between¸ , averaged over 18 h and human dissatisfaction.…”

Buildings were recognized as large energy consumers, and they represent great potential for energy savings through the implementation of a wide range of measures for improving of energy efficiency. Through numerous directives and procedures that have been adopted over the past 30 years, the building sector is committed to the use of renewable energy sources. Among the solutions to the global energy problem, as well as the problem of excessive emissions of greenhouse gases, primarily CO2, which directly affect global warming, the use of solar energy is one of the most acceptable environmental solutions. In the recent years, a new aspect of the application of solar systems in the construction sector has been developed - their integration into the building envelope. This paper presents an overview of the latest research related to solar thermal systems integrated into the building envelope. The current status in the field of technology of solar thermal systems integrated into the building envelope is presented in paper. Different types of these systems that can be integrated into the building envelope are described, and their basic performance is presented. Possible applications of solar thermal collectors in different parts of the building envelope (facade, roof, overhangs, balcony) are also described and presented. By applying these systems, it is possible to significantly influence to the reduction of energy consumption in the building sector, as well as environmental pollution by reducing CO2 emissions.

“…Although a lot of flora destruction occurred during the construction phase. Scholes and Sargent (1971) suggested design rules for estimating the effect of long noise barriers on the propagation of motorway noise peaks in terms of L 10 . Nelson and Godfrey (1974) studied the road traffic noise in rural environment.…”

Abstract:Delhi has a population of 16.75 million and is increasing at a rapid rate. This increase in population has enhanced the need for public transport. In Delhi, this need for public transport is served mainly by buses, auto rickshaws, a rapid transit system, taxis and suburban railways. Delhi has one of the highest road densities in India. Buses are the most popular means of transport catering to about 60% of the total demand. In order to meet the transport demand in Delhi, the State and the Union government started the construction of a mass rapid transit system, including the Delhi Metro. By the application of various data and public response, the paper accentuates the qualitative discussion on impacts of mass rapid transit system (MRTS) corridor on land use and social aspects of lives of residents and road users. It also proposes certain mitigating measures for that meticulous condition. The analysis and survey outcome explain about the exceeded level of noise level as compared to CPCB standards. The share of public transport in total noise pollution is smaller than private but still exceeds the standards. Such problem demands the design of noise barrier along the corridor to curb the noise pollution.
