Environmental awareness: CERN’s process for minimising environmental noise
In the design phase of a new project, CERN takes into account the 2018 reference levels for noise limits, the new noise source characteristics, and noise from existing infrastructure. The data is then processed by a 3D georeferenced modelling software. Mitigation measures are defined where needed, based on the results of the modelling. Before the
