Perspectives of Building-Integrated Wind Turbines (BIWTs)
Building-integrated wind turbines (BIWTs) represent a potential solution, especially in urban areas where space is limited.
Rooftop turbines aim to capture power in windy cities
Flower Turbines, based in New York City, creates vertical wind turbines that look like large, skinny tulips (see gif above). They''re designed to be installed on the ground or on a flat roof.

The Folly of Building-Integrated Wind | BuildingGreen
Putting wind turbines on top of buildings—especially tall buildings—should allow them to take advantage of height without an expensive, full-size tower. In some cases, building geometry can
Rooftop Small Wind Turbines: Do They Make Sense?
The rooftop seems like a perfect place for a wind turbine, but does this make sense for you? Below, you''ll learn what makes a wind turbine efficient and if a rooftop turbine is potentially
Wind energy system for buildings in an urban environment
Integrating wind energy systems into buildings enables the on-site generation of renewable energy in the built environment. Integrating wind turbines into the facades and building
Wind Turbine Integration to Tall Buildings
Based on this approach, this chapter presents design strategies from the literature to integrate wind energy to tall buildings using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation.
Wind Turbines for Rooftops: Things You Should Know
Rooftop turbines face challenges like vibration and turbulence. Turbine size impacts efficiency and power output. Innovative designs like shrouded turbines enhance performance. Proper
Windtech International
Although there may exist lots of wind around and on the roof of many buildings, especially high-rise buildings, from technical and other viewpoints installing a wind turbine on the top of the roof
This roof is hiding a secret: sleek new wind turbines you can barely
But a different kind of wind power could grow more quickly: small turbines that sit on the edge of rooftops rather than fields. A startup called Accelerate Wind designed a system that takes...
Wind turbines on high-rise buildings?
Wind turbines on the other hand, rely on moving parts to generate electricity. In the unlikely event that bits fall off a wind turbine, such as blade or two, or the wind turbine was not
