Ⅰ. Background and Aims of Research
1. Background
o Social issues
ㅇ Concerns about urban noise pollution associated with collective energy supply
- Noise complaints related to turbine operation and capacity expansion of combined heat and power equipment
ㅇ Noise damage due to expansion of installation promotion of combined heat and power facilities near demand areas

o Necessity of the research
ㅇ Setting a policy agenda: solving the problem of residential noise near cogeneration facilities
ㅇ Concerns about underestimation when assessing the noise environmental impact of the surrounding residential area
ㅇ Necessary to strengthen management measures for the noise effect during the operation of a cogeneration facility

2. Research objectives
o To improve the prediction and evaluation method for the noise effect in the surrounding quiet area
ㅇ Used when predicting and evaluating the noise impact of energy power generation facilities subject to environmental impact assessment

o To present a draft noise management policy for the operation of a combined heat and power facility
ㅇ Used for post-environmental impact assessment and noise monitoring

3. Research target and content
o Research target
ㅇ Newly constructed and pre-existing urban combined heat and power plants

o Main research content
ㅇ Survey on the current state of noise management policies for domestic and overseas cogeneration facilities (Chapter 2)
ㅇ Noise survey and the diagnosis of the problems (Chapter 3)
ㅇ Solving the noise problem associated with the urban combined heat and power plants and proposing feasible poli
