New Study Reveals Mixed Reactions to Flickering Shadows, Generated by Wind Energy’s Shadow
Researchers found that people are more likely to notice shadow flicker if they are exposed to it for longer and more numerous periods of time and less likely to notice shadow flicker when exposure is low. Researchers found no clear relationship between the amount of shadow flicker exposure and self-reported annoyance to shadow flicker.
The researchers also found that local wind energy siting ordinances typically do not enforce shadow flicker exposure limits at all or do so ambiguously. Of the 50 U.S. counties represented in the study, most do not have any limit on shadow flicker exposure. Of those that do have a limit, 30 hours per year is by far the most common; however, it’s unclear how shadow flicker is modeled.
