Photovoltaic Noise Barrier for Allotment Garden in Vienna-Meidling
A small garden complex in Vienna-Meidling has recently been equipped with a noise barrier that also serves as a solar power plant for Wien Energie. It was presented by Climate City Councillor Jürgen Czernohorszky (SPÖ) on Friday. A total of 70 PV modules with a capacity of 19 kWp were installed on the wall, with the construction being not only power-generating but also permeable. It consists of individually inclined elements.
Not a Conventional Noise Barrier
According to the councillor's office, the small garden association had turned to the city of Vienna for help due to massive noise pollution from the high traffic volume on the nearby Altmannsdorfer Ast. However, the location proved unsuitable for a conventional noise barrier, as it was said. The meadow area would have been completely separated by a closed noise barrier, creating a classic fear space.
Module System for Vienna's Small Garden Complex
The solution was found in a module system that is permeable for both humans and animals. A total of 14 noise barrier elements were installed in an offset manner. They are made of wood concrete and aluminum. Photovoltaic modules were placed on the individual elements. The costs were estimated at 402,000 euros, with 50 percent each being covered by the city of Vienna and Wien Energie.
