Neighbour noise is a significant problem having had insufficient attention for decades, both for existing housing and new housing. Time had come to solve the challenges by establishing a common framework in building acoustics throughout Europe. As a consequence, the research network, COST Action TU0901 “Integrating and Harmonizing Sound Insulation Aspects in Sustainable Urban Housing Constructions” was established to initiate and support a process towards such framework.
COST TU0901 considered the main tool to be an acoustic classification scheme for dwellings –implying definition of a number of quality classes– combined with knowledge about housing constructions complying with the class criteria.

This book is one of the main outcomes of COST Action A27 ‘Understanding pre-industrial structures in rural and mining landscapes’ (LANDMARKS). The contributions collected reflect a series of presentatinos and discussion stimulated by Per Grau Moller and Graham Fairclough. They show, through the eyes and experiences of researches, the main challenges and obstacles of Landscape Heritage in 13 European countries.
This document stresses the need to broach the study of landscapes from a multidisciplinary approach, paying attention to the historical processes and working on various scales. These are the challenges that this book intends to face and overcome.
Survey of Agrometeorological Practices and Applications in Europe regarding Climate Change Impacts
- Pages: 320
- Author(s): P. Nejedlik and S. Orlandini
- Publisher(s): Copisteria Sangallo
The main objective of the Action is the evaluation of possible impacts from climate change and variability on agriculture and the assessment of critical thresholds for various European areas.
This book has to be considered as a general description of the activity performed in Europe in the field of climate change and variability impacts on agriculture. The wide range of presented information, including date, models, indices, methods, tools, can represent a useful support for the workers of agricultural sectors (farmers, technicians, decision makers, etc.) to better plan the analysis and the adaptation of European agriculture to climate change and variability impacts.
