From wind rose and wind-spectrum information we are able to align this future building with the free natural energy gradients of sun and wind. | |
The roof has 20 Aeurotecture wind turbines which are augmented with an upper roof, thereby accelerating the wind further. | |
3 vertical columns of 12 Aerotecture wind turbines (36 total) will be mounted facing the prevailing wind. | |
The south-southwestern side will be covered with Unisolar PV panels in the balconies. | |
Solar evacuated tubes for hot water and heat-pumps for air conditioning are on the very top of the structure. |
