IMPACT Module
Understand wind farm effects from the neighbour’s perspective
The IMPACT module in windPRO brings together the key environmental factors—noise, shadow flicker, and visual impact—into a single, easy-to-understand report from the perspective of each individual neighbour. By combining multiple impact types, IMPACT helps you clearly communicate how a proposed wind farm will affect surrounding properties.
Give stakeholders full transparency with a combined visual, noise, and shadow impact report
One Report, All Key Impacts
-
Combine the results of noise (DECIBEL), shadow flicker (SHADOW), and visual visibility (ZVI, PHOTOMONTAGE) into one report.
-
Deliver a comprehensive overview of the total environmental impact for each neighbouring property in one go.
-
Increase transparency and reduce misunderstandings during planning and public consultations.
Automated Neighbour Matching
-
Quickly pair each neighbour with relevant calculation objects (camera, noise, flicker, visibility).
-
Automatic matching based on naming conventions streamlines the setup—just assign the same name to each object belonging to a neighbour.
-
Easily select which WTGs and neighbours to include in the calculation.
Include Real-World Visuals
-
Enhance your report with actual photos of the neighbour’s view toward the wind farm—or vice versa.
-
Strengthen stakeholder communication with realistic visual context of how turbines will appear in the landscape.
Tailored Neighbour Reports
Each report includes:
- Results from all selected impact modules (noise, flicker, ZVI)
- Comparisons to national legislation or regulatory limits
- Simple explanations of nuisance levels for non-technical readers
- Data presented in a clear and accessible format
Whether you're working with authorities, landowners, or concerned citizens, the IMPACT module helps you show that you’ve considered the full picture.
Why use the IMPACT module?
- Show detailed property-level impact assessments
- Provide complete and transparent documentation
- Strengthen public outreach and community trust
- Save time by combining calculations in a single module
- Support regulatory reviews with clear and tailored reports
