Abstract

Pearl River Tower a sustainable building with wind turbine generators produces bigger environmental noise when wind blows through the tunnels of the building and due to exsitence of wind turbine generators. In order to prevent the effect of noise on the nearby office staff and residents and to avoid affecting the reputation and the performance of Pearl River Tower, it was necessary to predict and evaluate the noise level and distribution around Pearl River Tower. A broadband noise source model based on SST turbulence model was used to numerically simulate the noise level and distribution of the tunnels of Pearl River Tower and its wind turbine generators, then the influence of wind turbine generators on noise was analyzed. The numerical simulation results showed that with one year return period or the maximum monthly mean wind speed, the maximum noise of Pearl River Tower doesn't exceed the limits specified by the "Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Pollution From Environmental Noise".
